Meet Victor Schultz! While earning his master's @EaES_UIC, he studied groundwater #nitrate in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (including WI, IL, IN) because high levels of N can affect drinking water and cause health issues. Learn more: iiseagrant.org/meet-our-grad…

ALT These two maps show the results of the Random Forest model. Map (a) shows predictions of nitrate in groundwater that is closer to the surface, while map (b) shows predictions of nitrate in deeper groundwater. The two circles show locations that are the same depth, but have very different landcover, and the model predicts very different nitrate concentrations. The two squares show how the same location can have very different nitrate concentrations, depending on how far down you go.
ALT high levels of nitrate (over 10 mg/L) in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome, birth defects, thyroid disease, and increased risk for certain kinds of cancer.

Attending @theAGU and interested in nutrient legacies or drought monitoring? Come check out my thesis work quantifying groundwater nitrate in the Upper Mississippi at poster B45-1773 and poster NH45D-0619 presented by my @NASA_DEVELOP teammate Emma Myrick! @EaES_UIC @VanmeterKVM

Super cool work being presented at AGU from @nanditabasu2 and @VanmeterKVM's groups! Do you like wetlands, remote sensing, nutrient legacies, wildfire, road salt, reservoirs, and/or groundwater? We've got you covered! @theAGU @AGU_H3S @AGUecohydro @Hydrology_AGU @AGUbiogeo

I made these for my own education, but also want to share them. They are "bite-sized" summary of peer-rev'd articles (which I provide a QR code that directs you to them). I will be sharing a few a day, will continue this project for as long as possible. #Strike4BlackLives #BLM

A very fun first holiday party for #VanMeterLab! We made a great 3D watershed with agricultural and urban contamination. Even excessive road salt application around the Sears Tower! #WelcomeToTheAnthropocene #GingerbreadYourScience

@pHred_cheng asks the question “Does a decoupling of wetlands from nutrient source areas limit denitrification potential across the continental US?” I’m really excited about this new work! #BasuLab #VanMeterLab #AGU19 @nanditabasu2 @DanykaKByrnes
