Two exciting updates for the Carey Lab:

1) Alex’s first paper, which provides proof-of-concept data on the successful oxygenation of Falling Creek Reservoir (Roanoke, VA), is in press here at Water Research.  In this paper, Alex, Rick Browne (Carey Lab alum, M.S. 2013), Paul Gantzer, Mark Mobley, John Little, and Cayelan analyzed the effects of side-stream supersaturation hypolimnetic oxygenation on the physics and nutrient cycling of FCR during intermittent periods when the oxygen was on vs. off.  We observed that the system was able to successfully increase oxygen concentrations at depth while maintaining thermal structure, which in turn prevented Fe and Mn release from the sediments.

2) Jon has been invited to be a GLEON Fellow!  The GLEON Fellowship Program trains small cohorts of graduate students from around the world to analyze large and diverse data sets, operate effectively in diverse international teams, and communicate science to researchers, the public, and managers.  As a GLEON Fellow, Jon will take part in three international workshops over the next 1.5 years while completing an interdisciplinary, collaborative scientific project.  More information on the GLEON Fellowship Program can be found here.
