 Stauffer Lab undergrad Teri Lewis is graduating! Here she is presenting her research on the effects of the 2019 Floods on LA estuaries at the SURE Conference at UT last Nov. Congrats Teri!!!
Lab Updates:
May 2020: It has been a strange couple of months. Classes at UL Lafayette have been remote since mid-March, and the lab has been closed since the end of that month. But the Stauffer Lab persists! Beth had two papers come out recently: one tying algal blooms off the coast of California to local, high frequency physical processes and the other (led by Aaron Hogan, FIU) laying out a research framework for studying hurricane impacts on ecosystems. Beth also participated in the LUMCON Science Talks series, giving a talk on the storm- and flood-related research coming out of the lab. And one of our lab members working on the 2019 Flood project, Teri Lynn Lewis, is graduating! Teri started her research career as an REU participant in 2018 and has been a McNair Scholar in the Stauffer Lab for the past year. Teri will be moving onto a contractor position with the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, and we know she will be doing great things. Congratulations, Teri!!! 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! For older news, click here |
