 Partners from GCOOS, DISL, UTMSI, LUMCON, DISL, USGS, and SCCF joined us in Lafayette in Sept 2019 to learn how to use continuous nitrate sensors as part of a NOAA-funded ACT project building a pilot network of nitrate sensors in the Gulf.
Lab Updates:
Jan 2020: It was a busy end to 2019 in the Stauffer Lab. We hosted a technical workshop to train our partners on using continuous nitrate sensors as part of an ACT project, students presented at #CERF19 and local symposia, and we recruited and welcomed a new PhD student, Julia Sweet, to work on a newly-funded Louisiana Sea Grant project testing effects of changing phytoplankton communities on oyster filtration. Beth got a paper accepted that was a veritable albatross from her dissertation, and Gulce completed the first draft of a paper on our Hurricane Harvey Research. Stay tuned for all the fun from #OSM20 and other happenings in the semester ahead! September 2019: Holy cow, it's been a busy few months! Too busy to fully update the lab webpage, but stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, we are recruiting for one graduate student (Ph.D.-level preferred) for a summer 2020 start. More details available in this document, and get in touch with Beth directly if interested. Update: we filled this position! April 2019: Beth and Ph.D. student Gulce Kurtay presented their Hurricane Harvey research at the ASLO Aquatic Sciences Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Former M.S. student Jaylyn Babitch submitted a manuscript based on her thesis research for publication. And we welcomed a new lab member, Jen Raabe, as Research Technician working on our ACT Gulf of Mexico Nutrient Sensor Pilot Project with partners around the Gulf. Here's to another productive few months ahead! Nov 2018: Grad students Mrun Pathare and Gulce Kurtay and Undergrad student Hans Prevost presented their research at the Gulf Estuarine Research Society (GERS) meeting in Galveston, TX. It was a great regional conference with lots of really interesting presentations by Gulf researchers! For older news, click here |
