My latest story for @AGU_Eos, about a toxic metal in the Baltic Sea and why it matters in planning for clean-up of dead zones.

.@UUtah geologist Chad Ostrander, while at @WHOI, discovered more thallium than expected in the Baltic Sea. Comment from Tim Lyons @UCRiverside, story by @AmyHMayer. https://t.co/y2c79DvTyK

In my latest for @AGU_Eos, I wrote about a new tool in the kit for managers monitoring snowpack with an eye toward water availability. Love to see graduate students publishing their work and talking with me about it!

Many Western states rely on snowpack. A new metric from @mtnAragon @EngineeringOSU will help calculate how much water the snow is storing as climate change reduces precip and increases temperatures. Comments from Xubin Zeng @uarizona. Story by @AmyHMayer. https://t.co/85EWEDEVto

Because witnessing a total #Eclipse isn’t enough science excitement for one week, I also wrote about #Antarctic for @AGU_Eos and it came out today!

#Antarctic polynya size fluctuates on a 16-year cycle in the Ross Sea. New research from @ariaanpurich @MonashUni + colleagues from @otago; comments from Kent Moore @UofT Mississauga; story by @amyhmayer. https://t.co/msRZQVQpF8
