Beautiful demoiselle damselfly, watching us as we ran our clay stream mesococm experiment, July 2025. James MacDonald, taking sensor readings for temperature and light in our chalk stream mesocosm experiment. Charlotte Briddon and Sydney Enns, sampling the isotope treatments in one of three mesocosm experiments we ran in summer 2025. We are a fun and friendly team with loads of experience and enthusiasm. Great working environment! James setting up slides for biofilm cultivation prior to our chalk stream isotope dosing experiment.

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.

Rivers in dry landscapes are absorbing more CO2 than we thought, according to a new @science.org paper led by Cary’s Taylor Maavara. The team found that, under certain conditions, rivers can even act as carbon sinks. www.caryinstitute.org/news-insight...

For decades, scientists have generally thought that rivers emit more carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, than they take in. But a new analysis of every river network in the contiguous United States — in...
