How the chemistry of rock #glaciers influences #WaterChemistry.
A 2023 paper from #CriticalZone Network #Dustˆ2 Cluster member @jmunroe and Alexander L. Handwerger.
"Results underscore the role of rock glaciers as an agent influencing the #hydrochemistry of water in high-elevation stream #systems."
Hello journalist researching and writing about the future of the #GreatSaltLake.
If you're including modeling forecasts in your story we recommend you connect with Derek Mallia. Mallia is a #Dustˆ2 Cluster collaborator based at the University of #Utah and has developed some useful models that can add to your reporting.
The Collectors Tour continues at the site of Dust 11, perched in a beautiful location which provides #Dustˆ2 collaborator Emmet Norris a chance to reflect on the geologic ages showcased in this area of the world.

12 months alone at 12,000 feet. That's been existence for Dust 12 until #Dustˆ2 Collaborator Emmet Norris stopped by to check up on this equipment last week.
Part of The Collectors Tour.
#Dustˆ2 Cluster Collaborator Emmet Norris is touring the array of passive dust collectors in the Southwest United States.
In this update from The Collectors Tour Norris reflects on his visit to Dust 14 and how this work is inspiring him to think about dust and snow in new ways.
Hello there science #journalist.
If you're working on a story about isotopes and how they're used in scientific research this #Dustˆ2 Cluster collaborator is an expert in this field and will be a great source for your next story.
Meet Diego Fernandez
The current #FieldFocus on our #CriticalZone Collaborative Network webpage is #microplastics.
Visit and read some of the latest research featuring collaborations with #Dustˆ2 Cluster members.
Our Cluster studies how mineral #dust moves through the #CriticalZone, the part of the Earth which supports surface life.
As part of a three day meeting finding ways to pool their knowledge and advance #EnvironmentalScience members of the nine clusters in the Critical Zone Collaborative Network visited a #FieldSite near #SaltLakeCity which provides some of our #dust on #snow data, managed by a #Dustˆ2 team based at the #University of #Utah.

#Soil grows from #dust. But how the #dust gets to the place it will become soil is exactly what the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network's #Dustˆ2 Cluster studies. Here's an overview of the cluster's work from one of the team's #PrincipalInvestigators @jmunroe based at @middlebury
Great example of how #Dustˆ2 Cluster members work with their local communities to better understand the workings of the #ComplexSystems in the #CriticalZone.
Janice Brahney is based at the University of #Utah and is a member of the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network's #Dustˆ2 Cluster.
Our Cluster members are involved in many other projects advancing the work of #EnvironmentalScience. As well as her work as a faculty member and research scientist she's also on the #EditorialBoard of #Freshwater Science, a journal published by the University of #Chicago.

#ScienceFriday included University of #Utah based Cluster Member Kevin Perry in a March 2023 broadcast on #NPR.
"The thought that we’re at the cusp of losing this vital ecosystem [the #GreatSaltLake] in this absolutely wonderful place just makes me really sad."

Story about recent #dust storms in #Utah.
"Dust pollution is harmful on its own, ravaging the lungs, flaring up asthma and causing inflammation. The lake’s sediment also contains dangerous materials like #arsenic and other heavy #metals. The impact those pollutants are having on #Wasatch Front residents remains unknown."
This is why we are doing this work in the #Dustˆ2 Cluster. We want to be able to better understand the impact of those #pollutants.

McKenzie Skiles describes what fascinates her about #CriticalZone research.
For this University of Utah based #Dustˆ2 Cluster member it's what the work means for communities that rely on #snowmelt for their health and prosperity.
Several #Dustˆ2 Cluster members have papers in this #CreativeCommons database focused on #Water Resource #Management Commons™
Tons of great work and research stored here to access whenever you want. Look for inspiration, collaborations, or to catch up with people you've worked with.
Members of the #Dustˆ2 Cluster often collaborate with policy makers as we learn more about how #LandUse and #ClimateChange influence the movement of dust in the #CriticalZone.
Look for Cluster member @jmunroe at @EuroGeosciences #EGU23 this week and find out more about how this team is part of finding solutions to large scale environmental emergencies like the collapse of the #GreatSaltLake in #Utah.
#EGU23 continues today. @middlebury based, Cluster member @jmunroe is sharing about the #Dustˆ2 project during the meeting.
Munroe is a regular attendee at @EuroGeosciences and offers some thoughts about what not to do during the meeting.
It's tempting, Munroe says, to want to see everything. But sometimes there's value in staying in one place and absorbing the #science around you.
Here's the #QRCode for the @EuroGeosciences #EGU23 session which will describe some of the work happening in the #Dustˆ2 Cluster.
The #GreatSaltLake is in danger. Cluster members have been sounding warning bells for years about #environmental changes that are the root cause of the threat. Here's coverage from #Utah's ABC4 from a symposium held last week where #Dustˆ2 researchers participated.
