In our paper in @NatureGeosci, we find increasing concentrations of soluble phosphorus across the Great lakes Basin. Greater increases at higher latitudes suggest warming winters to be a potential driver #ClimateChange #waterquality #machinelearning @GWFpubs @LakeFutures
Article: Soluble phosphorus has increased in streams across the Great Lakes Basin, despite decreasing or stable total phosphorus concentrations @nanditabasu2 @nksingh01 @VanmeterKVM

Love that.. making mine
Resumes shouldn't just showcase our success. They should feature our struggles too. No one's life is a highlight reel. Character isn't visible in our triumphs aloneāit's revealed by the hardships we endure and the challenges we conquer. Hereās my lowlight reel. What's on yours?

Thank you so much for hosting me. You have such an amazing group of people
Today, we had the honor of hosting @nanditabasu2 for a seminar talk at @ClimateIITB, @iitbombay. A privilege to have her at our Centre! Most importantly, she is an alumna of my alma mater, Jadavpur University.

The Ukrainians have lost the ability to detect the approach of Russian bombers and other warplanes as they take off inside Russia. As a result, Ukraine has less time to warn civilians and military personnel about an approaching airstrike or missile. https://t.co/7YypCmGrJs
Trumpās decision to suspend the flow of military intelligence to Ukraine this week has aided the Russian advance along a critical part of the front. āAs a result of this pause, there are hundreds of dead Ukrainians.ā

Ontario is having a colder winter this year. Maybe good for our 2025 blooms.. when winters are warmer it releases all the bound phosphorus in soils and without crops it runs off to our lakes patiently waiting for the temperatures to warm https://t.co/RxpZPvqbfd

Algal blooms are typically associated with summer weather but warmer winters caused by climate change are resulting in blooms appearing more frequently, and for longer periods.

Very cool
New scalable method to accurately detect small (yet important) water bodies down to 0.1ha with spectral-temporal-spatial features of Sentinel-1/2 data. Check out our fresh #RSE paper https://t.co/Kr8NN1tpCQ with @SheelBansal @pondscience and Xiaolin Zhu's lab at HK PolyU.

You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local. Transport emissions are very small for most food products.

To what extent do calculated P balances reflect measured soil P stocks? After 145 years of crop rotation x fertilization , (i) +P balances > measured P stock differences, (ii) legacy P found across diverse fractions, (iii) P changes decoupled by depth https://t.co/7VLdbXXWMo

Was head marketing guy, NBC: "While we were successful in marketing 'The Apprentice,' we also did irreparable harm by creating the false image of Trump as a successful leader. I deeply regret that. And I regret that it has taken me so long to go public."
