The 57th annual meeting of the GSA North-Central Section will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the L.V. Eberhard Center on the downtown Pew Campus of Grand Valley State University.

The 57th meeting of GSA’s North-Central Section is designed  to be as diverse as the history of the region. The technical program, field trips, and short courses cover a range of topics, including coastal processes and landforms, critical minerals, magmatism and metamorphism, geomorphology and paleoclimate, geophysics, carbonate diagenesis, environmental geochemistry, undergraduate and graduate student–focused sessions, K–16 earth-science education, inclusivity and anti-racism in the geosciences, new technologies for mapping, karst of the Midwest, hydrologic processes and applications, geobiology, and advances in mineralogy and petrology. We invite you to join us for a Meeting in the Mitten, and submit an abstract so your research can be included in our exciting technical program.

Iowa Learning Farms Webinar: Linking Soil Management to Stream Eutrophication

Feb. 15 presentation features Iowa State University’s Marshall McDaniel discussing soil management practices and their relationships to the overabundance of nutrients in waterways.

In the webinar, “Directly Linking Soil Management and the Eutrophication of Iowa Streams,” McDaniel will draw on research outcomes to highlight the complex interaction of stream morphological characteristics, history of nutrient inputs, and tile water quality to assess stream eutrophication (overabundance of nutrients.) McDaniel will also share the water collection and analysis process and discuss factors such as historical nutrient conditions and background that can influence the impacts on a given waterway.
To participate in the live webinar, shortly before noon CST Feb. 15:

Iowa Water Center Announces Available Research Grants
 
The Iowa Water Center Annual Competitive Grants Competition is open for faculty and graduate students at accredited institutions in the state of Iowa. This year, the Iowa Water Center offers two funding opportunities: Graduate Student Supplemental Research Competition and a Targeted Seed Grant Research Competition.

The Graduate Student Supplemental Research Competition has funding of up to $5,000 for one-year projects for a maximum of three graduate students nearing completion of their program of study. This program allows students to complete additional research objectives or products beyond the scope of their current water-related funded project. For this opportunity, proposals must address topics related to water resource management in Iowa. Iowa Water Center staff is available to assist students in the development of submissions.

More about the grants and the submission process here.
