Well folks. . . . it's been a while. and we've got some big news to report! We just received additional funding from the National Science Foundation to continue our research in Iceland. This will give us the opportunity to explore the interaction between climate warming (the primary focus of our last grant) and nutrient enrichment in river ecosystems.

The heat exchanger in stream 7 (our whole-ecosystem warming experiment) needed some repair, and we spent part of a day cleaning, retooling, and stabilizing. Still working like a charm (knock on wood!). |

Both Jill and Jim gave seminars at the IFF, and we spent some quality time catching up with folks and planning for next summer. Can't wait to get started in May. . . . stay tuned for additional posts!. . we'll try to keep this site a bit more active now!
