Excited to unveil Caravan-Qual! 🌊

We've expanded the Caravan framework to bridge the gap between water quantity and quality.

This new open dataset features: 🔹 ~70M observations 🔹137k stations 🔹 100 constituents 🔹 Linked streamflow, forcing & attributes

Links in 🧵
A world map with red and blue dots. Each dot denotes a water quality measurement station that is included in Caravan-Qual. Red dots are stations with additional streamflow observations. Blue dots are stations without streamflow observations.

"Must deliver societal benefits"....the research that found T. aquaticus would never be funded under these rules. Imagine the breakthroughs that won't ever happen because some (seemingly niche) basic science never received funding.

The National Science Board, which oversees NSF, has published recommendations to update the foundation's merit review (which was just updated).

Below are the main points. www.nsf.gov/nsb/updates/...
The Board recommends that NSF: Boost participation and invite expert reviews from a wider range of industry, research institutions, venture capital, and regions of the country. Emphasize that NSF-funded research must deliver societal benefits, including research that advances the nation's economic competitiveness and national security. Build NSF's award portfolio at the agency level for greater nimbleness and strategic alignment with national priorities, both current and emerging. NSF previously announced operational changes to its Merit Review to streamline, clarify, and harmonize agency funding strategies to achieve top scientific and national priorities, similar to those made by the National Institutes of Health. In the coming year, the Board will continue working with NSF leaders to implement NSB recommendations for Merit Review policy changes, such as encouraging verification of previously reported results and pursuing more bold research with high reward potential. "We can't succeed in a new era with yesterday's playbook," says McCrary. "For our nation to win the race for the future, NSF must develop transformative partnerships with the private sector, states and communities. Together, we can blaze a trail to the next frontiers of science, usher in a Golden Age of American Innovation, and deliver on the promise of science and technology for the benefit of all Americans."

Mixing is a fundamental process that functions like a heartbeat for lakes. But at iconic lakes around the world, climate change is slowing or even stopping that heartbeat - causing profound impacts to these very special ecosystems. @quantamagazine.bsky.social

Mixing Is the Heartbeat of Deep Lakes. At Crater Lake, It’s Slowing Down. | Quanta Magazine
The physics of mixing water layers — an interplay of wind, climate and more — makes lakes work. When it stops, impacts can ripple across an ecosystem.
