Hello! I’m Sáde Cromratie Clemons. My work involves Eco-hydrology and fluvial geomorphology. I study tree response to flooding and how that affects carbon transport and storage. #Colorado #hydrology #gueSTAAR When floods happen, big pieces of trees can be moved into or near a stream, causing a jam of wood pieces. Wood jams are pretty neat because they can store carbon. Since floods create wood jams, flooding affects how carbon is transported through forests and rivers.

Hi, I’m Shaily Rahman. I’m a geochemist and oceanographer. I work in coastal systems. On this project, my focus is studying the reactive silicon cycle.

#gueSTAAR #Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. It exerts strong controls over the global carbon cycle and many trace element cycles. But we have very few tracers that show how reactive silicon moves around the surface of our planet.

Hi, I’m Sara Sayedi @Sara_Sayedi, a PhD student @Byu at @thermokarst lab. I use expert knowledge/ judgment to see how different Earth systems will interact with #climatechange and provide policy-relevant information. #gueSTAAR Before coming to the States for graduate school, I lived in Iran where I studied environmental science and management. During my MSc studies, the question that became most interesting for me was, how can we include the latest Earth science in decision making processes?

We said we'd be following @holivarez19 to sea and here we go! Like others on board, Holly is allotted just 150 mb of data per day so we'll make the most of it. #goship_a20_a22 #holivarezatsea

The ship Holly is on, the R/V Thomas G. Thompson, is sailing to where they'll start taking measurements off the coast of Aruba. Over the next month, the ship will head north to Woodshole, MA, stopping 93 times to collect water and nutrient samples. #goship_a20_a22 #holivarezatsea

Bruce Vaughn, who runs our Stable Isotope Lab at INSTAAR, is also a volunteer firefighter with the Four Mile Fire Protection District, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just west of Boulder. #INSTAARsafterhours He spent the weekend at the fire station on alert, monitoring and helping to coordinate Four Mile resources, as fires throughout Colorado including the East Troublesome and CalWood fires blew up.

Hi, we’re Kerry Koepping and Andrea Sparrow, some of the executive team members of the Arctic Arts Project. We’re part of a network of photographers, working in the #Arctic, who try to bring home an understanding of #climatechange through our work. #SciArt #gueSTAAR We’re on a mission to provide visual storytelling that helps people understand the evolution of our warming world. We want to generate impactful imagery that is given context by current science. #seethingsdifferently #BenElkins
