New paper out highlighting the importance of longitudinal stream synoptic (LSS) monitoring for managing water quality challenges across diverse watersheds and regions. Glad to be part of a fantastic team effort led by Sujay Kaushal et. al. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Earth's air, soil & freshwater are getting saltier due to widespread use of salts in food, construction & industry🧂 A new Review by Sujay Kaushal et al. outlines the anthropogenic salt cycle & its environmental consequences nature.com/articles/s4301… Free: rdcu.be/dp1df

Stanley Grant, Megan Rippy, and Shantanu Bhide find that less ice on the road leads to more salt in the soil, air, and water. news.vt.edu/articles/2023/…

Human activities, such as deicing roads, are disrupting the natural salt cycle on a global scale. A team of Virginia Tech Civil and Environmental Engineering researchers seeks to mitigate the existential threat by slowing salinization down. news.vt.edu/articles/2023/…

Don't miss my #AGU23 presentation tomorrow! 🌊 I'll be unraveling sodium pollution challenges in One Water systems, using the Occoquan Reservoir as a case study. Explore how the unsteady transit time framework guides stakeholder-driven solutions for sustainable water management!

Just wrapped up an engaging talk at AGU (American Geophysical Union)! 🎙️Grateful for the insightful discussions and looking forward to advancing sustainable water management together. Big thanks to my amazing colleagues for making the #AGU23 experience fun and engaging! 🙌

Thrilled to see my paper featured on Hydrology Paper of the Day! 📚 Thank you for the support! #Salinization

Congratulations Ciaran Harman and Esther Xu Fei, and thank you for a great paper! The mesas.py package is a game-changer for transit time analyses and will help make the transit time theory and SAS approach much more accessible and user-friendly!

Ooh, the first full-scale sodium-ion manufacturing plant in the US has opened. I really gotta do a pod on sodium-ion. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Yesterday, The Washington Post featured this work in a story by Kasha Patel featuring Sujay Kaushal. Proud to be part of this incredible team of scientists working across disciplines and scales. Managing salts is urgent work—for water, ecosystems, and health! #OneWater #Salinization
