I am delighted to welcome 3 new graduate students to EASEL lab this Fall: Lauren Hollinger (B-L), Andrew Callahan (B-R), and Alana Ginsburg (F-R). We kicked off the semester with some gelato with our most recent graduate Dr. Manan Sarupria (photo courtesy: Manan).

A screenshot of a conference session that reads: Coastal regions are experiencing rapid transformations driven by sea-level rise, salinization, land-use change, and climate variability. These changes profoundly impact coastal agriculture, aquaculture, wetlands, and mangrove ecosystems, with cascading effects on food systems, carbon cycling, and ecosystem services. This session invites contributions that explore the biophysical and socio-environmental dynamics of coastal landscapes, with a focus on understanding, monitoring, and managing ecosystem change. We welcome studies using field data, remote sensing, and modeling approaches to assess land-water interactions, track carbon dynamics, evaluate the resilience of coastal agroecosystems, and guide adaptation strategies. Interdisciplinary work that bridges natural and social sciences or engages with community-based solutions is especially encouraged. This session aims to foster dialogue across disciplines and geographies to advance coastal sustainability and climate resilience.

I'm co-convening an American Geophysical Union (@agu.org) session on "Coastal Agroecosystems Under Change: Monitoring, Modeling, and Management." If you are planning to attend #AGU25 in New Orleans, please consider submitting an abstract to our session (due July 30) - session description ๐Ÿ‘‡.
