Do not miss this paper coming from a Powell Center working group, which is the most comprehensive review of the literature on the hydrological impacts of #biocrusts carried out to date

Excited to be part of a kick-off meeting for a Powell Center working group. This group will be developing models of mosquito #phenology - and hopefully, @USANPN will ultimately deliver forecasts using these models. What a great team this is! usgs.gov/centers/powell…

Ongoing work by USGS via Powell Center helped to support the adoption of a new international standard for ecosystem accounting. The SEEA EA ow.ly/8FOI50DXIIC. was accepted by the U.N. Statistical Commission as a statistical standard on March 11, 2021. #makenaturecount

“Is it going to be a bad year for mosquitos?” To answer questions like this and inform management decisions, we are partnering with NEON, @USANPN, and Powell Center to predict and forecast mosquito timing and abundance. Learn more: neonscience.org/impact/observa…📷Battelle/NEON Program

In celebration of Earth Day, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy will host a virtual roundtable on “Knowledge in Nature.” One of our own participants is included in the panel! Working Group info: usgs.gov/centers/john-w… event info: whitehouse.gov/ostp/events-we…

So much effort in US has gone to identify water supplies, but as they dwindle we need much better accounting related to water demand. New Powell Center Powell Center paper by Marston et al. 2022 lays out challenges and opportunities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Not all coral reefs are declining, giving hope for persistence. Elahi et al. (doi:10.1002/eap.2651) demonstrate coral reef oases most likely in areas of low human population density. Results are directly applicable to biodiversity conservation strategies. Proudly Powell Center
