  1. Surveying stream beds (and trash) earlier this week. I can’t wait to see how the surveys compare to the ones we did last summer, because my eyes tell me there were some changes at most of our sites. #FieldWorkFriday #FieldPhotoFriday #urbanStream #TrashyStreams

  6. Very very happy to see this shopping cart and gravel bar in the stream today. Last summer the cart was there, but the gravel bar was not. Did our trail camera capture the bar being built? We’ll find out when we analyze the photos we downloaded today! #FieldPhotoFriday #FieldWorkFriday #FieldWork #Geomorphology #GravelBar #trashyStreams #ChannelChange #UrbanStreams #Cleveland

  11. @circuitsunfish Thank you too! And yes, I should have emphasized how much less plastic I found than I have in my #TrashyStreams work in other states. Appreciating #Vermont's commitment to the #environment. A big part of why I moved here.

  12. Despite a #Vermont statewide ban on #plastic #bags and single-use #styrofoam, I still picked up both. The bag was of course wrapped around some branches in the #stream, while the very fresh looking styrofoam may have come from a cooler and was busy creating secondary #microplastics along the edge of the parking lot. #GreenUpDay #litter #PlasticPollution #TrashyStreams

  17. Our family participated in our first #GreenUpDay, a #Vermont tradition. We picked up #litter in our neighborhood park and stream, both of which were already very clean. Our haul was mostly #plastic, with the most common items being cigarette #butts and #wrappers. Our biggest retrieval was this #bike frame, but I had to leave behind several large items partially buried in rocks and sediment in the streambed and a #tire with a tree growing through it. #GreenUp #PlasticPollution #TrashyStreams

  22. Urban #trashystreams mostly suffer from #PlasticPollution, but can also be affected by Pasta Pollution?!

    This story out of #NewJersey highlights the continuing problem of illegal #dumping (or mismanaged waste) especially in areas with inadequate and costly disposal services. And the problem is small in the US relative to the developing world.

  23. We did definitely make the best of the hot weather. Saturday afternoon saw the family exploring our local #stream. Followed by ice cream, naturally. #Vermont #SummerWeather

    P.S. Disappointing to see multiple pieces of trash in the neighborhood stream. #TrashyStreams

  24. First up, Annika Dudik will share her #NSFfunded #REU work on plastic distribution in an urban stream and floodplain. She's presenting our first true #microplastics data, along with a lot of #macroplastic #trashystreams data. Here's a sneak preview of her poster. #plasticpollution #AGU22

  25. I'm sad to be missing out on in person science and networking, but I'll be online #AGU22. Two of my Kent State #UndergraduateResearch students will be sharing their work in the poster session. Check out their e-posters online or in person. #plasticpollution #trashystreams #plasticbeaches

  30. Final final exam at Kent State under way. Time to finish packing those office and lab spaces. Eek!

    Got 1 lab mostly done yesterday. The two crates contain samples I need for further analysis for our #trashystreams and #plasticbeaches work. A few things left on the counter to pack, and a well stocked lab ready for a new hire next year. #moving

  35. Last talk in Cleveland for the foreseeable future is now done. Thanks for letting me talk #trashystreams Friends of Cleveland Museum of Natural History! You had amazing questions! #CMNH #publicengagement

  36. If you missed my talk on the geomorphic context of #TrashyStreams and #PlasticPollution yesterday, the recording is available now: youtu.be/LXleVaQIIh4 Feedback welcome!

  37. Happening in 15 minutes! I'm giving the AGU EPSP webinar on the geomorphic context of litter in urban streams. Register and join us here: csumb.zoom.us/meeting/register. #TrashyStreams #PlasticPollution

  38. Rare late night work session has me squeeing with happiness at our rich #PlasticPollution #TrashyStreams dataset. I love finding the stories that the data are trying to tell us.

  39. At the moment a lot of my research focuses on #PlasticPollution and #TrashyStreams. Why?

    At least in part, it’s because of my 7 year old who has been obsessed with garbage and recycling since age 2 and brings books like this home from the library.

  40. Digging through National Archives photos of the Cuyahoga River and I found this 1975 image of an open dump on the banks of Mill Creek, just upstream of one of our #trashystreams reaches. That would explain some of the old things we found.
