UF Hosts Competition for Student Communication of Climate Research
The Florida Climate Institute at the University of Florida hosted a 3-Minute Thesis/2-Minute Video Competition on February 28 in which graduate students presented their climate-related research. The event included students from several disciplines who all needed to use one slide to create a compelling story about the importance of their research for a lay audience. Watch the presentations

How Untreated Water is Making Our Kids Sick: Researcher Explores Possible Climate Change Link
Dr. Chris Uejio (FSU) has published a study, "Drinking-water treatment, climate change, and childhood gastrointestinal illness projections for northern Wisconsin (USA) communities drinking untreated groundwater," in
Hydrogeology Journal. The study explores the benefits of additional drinking water treatment compared to the risks created by climate change.

Long-Term Research Proves Effective in Global Conservation
For more than 16 years, scientists in
FIU's Florida Coastal Everglades Long Term Ecological Research (FCE LTER) Program have been studying how water, climate, and people affect the Everglades. In a new paper, researchers outline the value of international long-term research, how it has played into what is known about the Everglades and other wetlands, and how it can help solve current and future ecological problems.

Sunlight or Bacteria? Scientists Investigate What Breaks Down Permafrost Carbon
Dr. Robert Spencer (FSU) is delving into the complexities of exactly how permafrost thawing in the Earth's most northern regions is cycling back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and further fueling climate change. Answer: It has a lot to do with tiny little bugs called microbes and little to do with sunlight.
