Nature reports that the National Science Foundation has stopped awarding new grants and allotting funds to existing ones. All of them. @colincarlson.bsky.social says that unless the freeze is lifted, it “is going to destroy people's labs.” 2/10

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones
US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

Nice, that was my guess with the old barn. Cool!

Where do you set these up?

Yes we have used several MX water level loggers in catch basins/ storm sewer pipes a few years ago where we wanted to download data w/o removing each time. The Bluetooth feature was great!

Awesome, good luck to them! Also, a bit funny that PA championships seem to be at WVU :)

There is a need to develop common performance standards for large-scale NBS and for guidance on which measures are key to consider for flood mitigation and co-benefits. Success of NBS for fluvial flood mitigation depends on research and practice guided by transdisciplinary systems thinking.

While we find that NBS can mitigate fluvial floods, our study also highlights that inconsistencies in methods, a dearth of empirical studies, and variability in reported values limit generalization and comparison across NBS. Co-benefits are numerous, but few are quantified.
