Exploring rivers at every scale! Chelsy's research in Central Illinois examines how sediment moves through our waterways, from entire watersheds down to specific river reaches 🌊 #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover #RiverScience
Research slide titled 'MY RESEARCH' showing two key visuals: A diagram of Intensively Managed Landscapes (IMLs) from Kumar et al., 2018 illustrating land use, climate change, and ecological impacts, and a map of the Upper Sangamon River Basin in Central Illinois showing upstream and downstream gaging stations. Text explains research on sediment dynamics in IMLs and between different stream locations. Slide titled 'Watershed Scale' featuring photos of water sampling equipment. Main image shows an automated pump sampler mounted on a bridge with a pump intake extending into the river. Inset shows the sampler device itself, and below is a row of numbered water sample bottles containing sediment samples of varying turbidity Slide titled 'Reach Scale' showing a winter/early spring floodplain photo with labeled equipment: sediment trap, tilt current meter, stage recorder, and floodplain siphon sampler. Text describes research exploring sediment dynamics across different geomorphic environments in the floodplain during flood events.

Meet Chelsy Salas: A first-generation college student whose intro geology course changed everything! Now a PhD candidate studying river systems and sediment dynamics, proving that sometimes the unexpected path leads to the perfect destination. #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover #EarlyCareerScientist
Early Career Spotlight featuring Chelsy Salas (she/her), a PhD candidate at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The image shows her smiling, wearing glasses and a pink baseball cap, against a natural background. A quote reads 'I aim to better understand how river corridors change over time due to natural and artificial disturbances.' The image has a blue and orange design theme with the AGU EPSP logo. Research summary slide showing two field photos: one of monitoring equipment mounted on a bridge over a river, and another of a wooded floodplain area with measurement equipment. Text describes research examining suspended sediment dynamics and channel-floodplain connectivity across different spatial and temporal scales. Biography slide showing Chelsy sitting by a river with trees in the background. The slide lists her current position as PhD Candidate & USGS Student Trainee in Hydrology, education background including degrees from University of Nevada, Las Vegas (BS) and CA State University, Los Angeles (MS), and career goals with USGS. Final slide showing Chelsy in a yellow kayak on a river, wearing an orange life vest and making a peace sign. Above the photo is a quote explaining her inspiration: 'My B.S. is in geology. I really loved the idea of working outdoors and learning about our planet in a way I had never before.
