Join us Mon 2/26 @ 12pm in the WATER Institute (ISE 108) for our first brown bag research presentation of 2024! Dr. @TeresaBarazaP will present "Geologic, hydrologic, and land use controls on microplastic contamination in karst springs." Bring your lunch and inquiring minds!
Dewey and the rest of the team at the WATER Institute wish you and yours a healthy and happy holiday season. 💙 See you in 2024!

Physics students from SLPS's Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience spent time in our Aviation Science, @SLU_WATER Institute, and Physics labs on Monday learning about ways their physics lessons have numerous applications in these areas!
Help support water partnerships in Belize by making a gift to the Billikens For Clean Water Campaign! #B4CW crowdfunding.slu.edu/billike…
On 9/29, the WATER Institute participated in @NGRREC's 2023 Water Festival which hosted over 900 fifth graders from across the region! We loved teaching students about #microplastics in #water sources, and Dewey had a great time making new friends!

Great story on @SLU_Official research!
Elizabeth Hasenmueller, associate prof of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and associate dir of @slu_water, and students found microplastic pollution in a cave system that hasn't had human visitors for 30 years!

@slu_water Associate Director Liz Hasenmueller, Ph.D., is leading research on the presence of microplastics in water resources, including cave systems. Thanks, @stlpublicradio, for highlighting @SLUResearch in water!
Researchers at @slu_water wanted to see if microplastics can still be found in a cave system without human presence.
The answer is yes. The team discovered microplastics in large numbers in both water and sediment in the Cliff Cave in St. Louis County. bit.ly/45e67FB
WATER Institute Primary Investigator, @JasonKnouft, Ph.D., and Director of Business and Outreach, Rachel Rimmerman, were quoted in this @CNN story about drinking water infrastructure and climate change in St. Louis! Read the full story:

Welcome (back), new and returning @SLU_Official students! We can't wait to dive into the new academic year with you! Our @slu_water director Dr. Cox is starting the #Fall2023 semester with a splash in her @SLU_Civil #hydraulics modeling course in @SLU_SSE 🌊
This week, we got to host two @SLU_SSE summer camp groups of high school students from #STL and across the country to explore #water #research in the lab and in the field! We had so much fun and hope to see everyone back at @SLU_Official soon! #STEM #SummerAtSLU
After a flood washed away our auto-sampling instrument, a multiparameter sonde used to analyze #water quality, we thought it was lost forever. Yesterday the #research team found it after weeks of searching! And it was collecting data the whole time! What a way to end the week!✨
ALT Liz Hasenmueller stands in the middle of a stream surrounded by green foliage, wearing tall rubber boots and an orange safety vest, holding the multiparameter sonde, a water quality instrument that looks like a black cylinder about 3 feet long and four inches in diameter.
ALT Four people with the WATER Institute pose for a selfie on a rocky stream bank. On the left, Denise Summers smiles. Next to her stands Sofie Liang holding a rock above her head and smiling. Third from the left stands Liz Hasenmueller smiling and holding the multiparameter sonde, a water quality instrument that looks like a black cylinder about 3 feet long and four inches in diameter. On the right stands Carly Finegan, smiling and giving a thumbs up with one hand and holding the camera with the other. Behind them is a shallow stream with a rising bank lined with trees and blue sky.
Are #microplastics in our drinking water? Check out this lead story from @ksdknews featuring WATER Institute primary investigator @JasonKnouft and a study implemented by @MOWaterkeeper to learn more:
We drink it every day, often without a second thought. But should we think more about what’s in it? ksdk.com/article/news/invest…
Thank you @iSCORE25 for giving us the opportunity to teach about water and micro plastics during the Saturday Stem camp! Also big thanks to @CarlyFinegan and @natfhernandez for teaching the students!
