March e-Newsletter Community Guest Spotlight with Taher Chegini, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Purdue University

Each winter, millions of tons of road salt are applied to highways and sidewalks to improve safety and mobility. While effective at melting ice and preventing accidents, this widespread use of salt has unintended environmental consequences that persist well beyond the winter months. Professors Amy Rhodes, Department of Geosciences, and Andrew Guswa, Picker Engineering Program of Smith College have been researching the effects of increased sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) on wetland plants, sensitive ecosystems, and water quality in the Kampoosa Bog, an area near Stockbridge and Lee in Massachusetts (MA).

CUAHSI Environmental Data Scientists, Lindsay Platt and Abner Bogan, share their feedback after attending the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) virtual conference themed Innovation to Impact, that took place from January 21 - 24, 2025.
