This week marks the 4th anniversary of the Joaquin floods in SC. Thanks to ⁦@postandcourier⁩ for this excellent piece on the daylighting of Smith Branch ⁦@BullStreetSC⁩—a great example of integrated flood management using natural systems. postandcourier.com/columbia/how-c…

I am looking for another MS student to work on a WRRI project that will enhance constructed wetland treatment using biochar, aeration, and duckweed.  I would be open to either an August 2023 or January 2024 start. Let me know if you or someone you know are interested!

Registration now open for the 6th workshop in the @naturebasedsc series, focused on Design Standards! Join us in Columbia, SC, on March 22nd for best practices and technical discussion on #naturebasedsolutions. naturebasedexchange.org/workshop6

More on some ongoing salt marsh restoration efforts here in CHS. Looking forward to more collaboration with the fine folks @KostkaLab / @GTSciences, @SCDNR, @SCaquarium, and @Robinson_Eng ! cos.gatech.edu/maryville-mars…

Some of our 2022 highlights got a shout-out in Sept. 2022 when our exec. dir. @DaleSoilH2O joined TNC chief scientist @KHayhoe for a @rileyinstitute panel on Connecting Values & Career to Climate Action. 👏 for the Boyd Living Shoreline, Andrews Rain Gardens and Peachtree Rock!

Excited for this collaboration between @SCDNR @GeorgiaTech and @Robinson_Eng !

Rodents don't typically get a lot of hype, but it seems that beavers have hired a publicist. bit.ly/3x8ePH1

I’ve given the Mean High Water website a refresh and added a new section entitled Charleston Under Water - a gallery of flooding around town with a map showing the location. #flooding #charleston meanhighwater.com/Charleston-Und…

Joshua Robinson @Robinson_Eng and Kate Ancaya @LivingRoofsInc are presenting at the @NC_ASLA conference this week about reframing #greenroofs as standard practice and building the case for green roofs as infrastructure. Tune in if you can! #NatureBasedSolutions #resilience

Congratulations to our pal and collaborator Shannon!

Don't miss out on the #AWRA2022 GWTC Conference in Austin, TX May 9-12! bit.ly/38HBzEK We've got keynote speakers, 18 concurrent sessions, 2 pre-conference workshops, & a Symposium honoring Prof. David Maidment. Register today before it sells out!

This #InternationalBeaverDay, show some love for #Beavers by supporting the Beaver Institute so we can keep supporting scientific research, training mitigation professionals, and increasing public appreciation of the beaver’s critical role in creating healthy wetland ecosystems.

.’We can try to save the Charleston we love, but it won’t look like the Charleston we know.’ @JTBramblett via @TEDxCharleston sharing his photographs and his knowledge of how Charleston must continue to evolve. Excellent job Jared!

Hydrology students measured the stream flow on Gadsden Creek in Charleston's Westside neighborhood. This stream's an excellent example of an urban tidal creek in a “little engine that could” way, providing flood relief/salt marsh habitat for many plants/animals in a city setting.

Beavers build little "slides" to get up and down their dams more easily. Their slides are often packed with softer mud & vegetation, and can have a bit of flowing water on them too. These slides are prime transit routes through the wetland - and not just for #beavers! 🦆🐈🦝🦫

Did you see our Marine Conservation Director Liz Fly quoted in @postandcourier's article on the IPCC climate report? It's a great rundown of the report by @_ChloeAJ: nature.ly/3MIUy18

Ummm. They shot the beavers ? ⁦@nytimes⁩ nytimes.com/2022/02/25/rea…

Welcome to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration! Why should we all invest in #GenerationRestoration? We break it down.
