Sujay Kaushal is part of a multi-institution effort to monitor the intrusion of saltwater into rivers close to the ocean.
ESSIC scientist Sujay Kaushal and Ph.D. candidate Sydney Shelton hosted an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) thread on Reddit on the /r/askscience subreddit. For two and a half hours, Kaushal and Shelton answered questions from the public regarding salinization and its impact on our planet.
The influx of salt in streams and rivers is an ‘existential threat,’ according to a research team led by a UMD geologist.
A new study led by Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) scientist Sujay Kaushal introduces a new way to think about water quality monitoring along urban streams that could help researchers more accurately track pollutants across waterways.
The road salt that makes your drive to work easier on snowy days may be damaging the water quality in local rivers and streams long after winter is over.
Sujay Kaushal, ESSIC and Department of Geology Associate Professor, is a co-author on a new paper in Global Biogeochemical Cycles titled, “RH: Stream nitrogen composition Gradients of anthropogenic nutrient enrichment alter N composition and DOM stoichiometry in freshwater ecosystems”. Also credited on the paper is Shahan Haq, graduate student at the UMD Department of Geology.
Shuiwang Duan, Department of Geology and Department of Environmental Science and Technology Assistant Research Scientist, and Sujay Kaushal, ESSIC and Department of Geology Associate Professor, are co-authors on a new paper in Applied Geochemistry titled “Changes in concentrations and source of nitrogen along the Potomac River with watershed land use”. Other co-authors include Erik J.Rosenfeldt, Jinliang Huang, and Sudhir Murthy.
Sujay Kaushal, ESSIC and Department of Geology Associate Professor, submitted a report to the Chesapeake Bay Trust titled, “Tree Trade-Offs in Stream Restoration Projects: Impact on Riparian Groundwater Quality”. Kaushal’s co-authors include Kelsey Wood, Department of Geology Faculty Assistant, Joseph G. Galella Department of Geology Graduate Student, and Philippe G. Vidon from The State University of New York.
Sujay Kaushal, ESSIC and Department of Geology associate professor, is lead author on a new article out in Biogeochemistry titled “Freshwater salinization syndrome: from emerging global problem to managing risks”
Sujay Kaushal, ESSIC and Department of Geology Associate Professor, recently published a paper in Water Research alongside co-authors from the University at Buffalo’s Department of Chemistry, UMD’s Department of Geology, and private firm Hazen and Sawyer.
