Despite the global pandemic, Gina rocked her virtual defense and continues to impress!!! Thanks to the years of support from the committee team (Lauren Kinsman-Costello, Erin Field, and Mike McCoy) and friends and colleagues near and far. Bravo, Dr. Bledsoe!!!

Gearing up for greenhouse gases!

3/3/2020

 
We were able to get out in the field for a quick lesson on collecting greenhouse gases. Gina works with undergrads Daniya and Joe to collect samples and get some time on the GC.

It takes a village to process soils!

12/17/2019

 
All hands on deck for wetland soil processing! It was a truly interdisciplinary effort! Thank you to biology students (Aied, Emory, Dustin, Diego) and friends (Natasha - engineering, Kayla - graphic design, Gabriel - music) for all your help!!! This was the first week of semester break, but this amazing motley crew worked hard to finish the sample sieving and splitting before the holidays!

Wetland deep core soil sampling - kicking of field work for our NSF project!

12/16/2019

 
Our amazing field crew successfully collected 48 1-m cores! This sampling was made possible by ECU Geological Sciences staff Mara and Scott, collaborator John, and undergrads C.J. and Bobby. Thanks team!!!

Lab presents at the American Society for Microbiology - North Carolina Branch

Lab presents at ESA 2019

8/12/2019

 
We had a great meeting catching up with team Urban Wetlands during a special session on wetland biogeochemistry. We kicked off the conference at the Microbial Ecology Section Mixer, sold some merch for ESA Microbial Ecology, and finished out the week leading a STEAM workshop on Applying Art, Design, and Interactivity to Enhance Science Communication!
