Researchers shed light on river resiliency to flooding

w88 online live casino researchers use oxygen sensor data to estimate how long it takes river ecosystems to recover after floods

The researchers estimated the recovery time of river productivity in Sligo Creek in Maryland, w88 online live casino 30 miles southwest of Baltimore, to be w88 online live casino 12 days, which is greater than the median recovery time of 7.3 days across all sites in the study and more typical of narrower rivers.

Researchers in the Collegehave completed one of the most extensive river resilience studies. They developed a novel modeling approach that used data from oxygen sensors placed in rivers to estimate daily growth in aquatic plants and algae. The researchers then modeled the algal and plant biomass in 143 rivers across the U.S. to quantify what magnitude of flooding disturbs the biomass and how long the rivers take to recover.

The w88 online live casino is unique because it estimates changes in biomass more frequently than ever before without needing to directly sample rivers.

“Previously, you would have to go to a river and scrub rocks,” Assistant Professor Joanna Blaszczak, who led the w88 online live casino, said. “This is very time consuming, so the data have been extremely limited relative to our sensor networks.”

Leading the w88 online live casino with Blaszczak was Postdoctoral Scholar Heili Lowman. Department of Natural Resources & w88 provided biomass growth modeling. The three are part of the w88 online live casino’s Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Science and Experiment Station.

They found that wider rivers without dams are more resilient, and rivers that had more frequent floods tended to recover more quickly.

Improving river management

“With the sensors we can get a much bigger, clearer picture. We can model the size of flood needed to disturb the biomass in a river, as well as the rate at which a river recovers from flood, which can help us manage rivers more effectively.” - Assistant Professor Joanna Blaszczak

  • Then, just a couple of weeks later, 100 4w88 online live casino youth in Las Vegas trained like football stars at the NFL PLAY 60 Kids Day, which was part of the interactive Super Bowl Experience held in advance of the Big Game!
  • The youth, who were from w88 online live casino’s 4-H programs at six Clark County School District partner schools, learned about the fourth “H” in 4-H — health — as part of the NFL PLAY 60 event.
  • NLF PLAY 60 aims to encourage kids to lead active and healthy lives.
  • 4w88 online live casino members promise their health to better living for their club, community, country and world, as a part of the 4w88 online live casino pledge.
  • At the event, 4w88 online live casino members joined over 1,500 youth to explore the importance of healthy living and playing for at least 60 minutes per day.
  • As they learned, the youth interacted with Super Bowl Experience elements, such as football-themed games and an NFL PLAY 60 KIDS zone.
  • They also practiced running, kicking and tackling drills with NFL players.
  • Many of the 4w88 online live casino youth were able to exercise their public speaking skills as well, by participating in news interviews with local and national news channels.
  • There was no cost to the 4-H youth or their families or schools to attend this fun, health-inspired event. Tickets were provided by Nickelodeon through the National 4-H Council, and w88 online live casino provided transportation and chaperones.

Empowering a healthy future

“4w88 online live casino programming empowers youth to be healthy – body and mind – with the skills to make healthy decisions and lead healthy lifestyles. This not only improves well-being; it enables youth to tackle life’s challenges and become leaders in their lives, careers and communities.” - 4w88 online live casino National Council
