When I'm not in the water, I'm building tools at to study, protect, and celebrate it. Assistant Prof @ UNCW. he/him

I am so incredibly excited about this publication! Motivated by a simple idea—design and build a low-cost, easily reproduced #open water level monitor for high school classes—we made a device that comes close to matching professional commercial sensors!.

I will always remember 2024 as the defining year of my career: the majority of my students are now younger than The Day After Tomorrow.

@EPA lists "Increased risk of some cancers, including prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers" and "Interference with the body’s natural hormones" as two of "What We Know about Health Effects." . So maybe we do know why. ?.

In the last 72 hours, I've watched these headlines hit and watched a graduate student present on the harms of PFAS. Can't help but wonder if there's a connection here.

We're doing this wrong, America. Only one of these needs to be setting annual records; the other three are just killing more people. "Average new vehicle fuel economy, horsepower, weight, and footprint are all at record highs".

Same—but replace future with present tense.
My biggest fear about CO₂ removal (CDR) isn't that someone will try to deploy it at scale now (who will pay trillions of dollars for that?) but that voters and decision-makers will think we have magical solutions and don't need to decarbonize ASAP.

Yay, @Liz567765! Congrats, and thanks for the opportunity to work together these last couple years! We'll miss you.
Big congrats to MS Marine Science student Liz Farquhar of who successfully passed her thesis defense last week! Liz's thesis is titled "Developing a low-cost device for estimating air-water ΔpCO2 in coastal environments". Liz is advised by EOS Prof Phil Bresnahan @insituphile

The show must go on! Student presentations for @UNCW_EOS OCN 350 (Advanced Oceanography) were interrupted by a fire alarm. Evacuated to drizzling outdoor conditions. I asked the students what they wanted to do, and they opted to carry on, using an iPad for outdoor presentations!
