EESA Postdoc Places at Lab’s 2020 SLAM Competition

October 2, 2020

Headshot photo of Sara Gushgari-Doyle

The 2% of microbes on Earth that we can grow in the lab have led to groundbreaking discoveries, such as the vaccine for malaria, but can you imagine what the other 98% could give us? Sara Gushgari-Doyle’s approach to cultivating difficult-to-culture microorganisms tied her for second place in the Sept. 17 finals of Berkeley Lab’s…

A Watershed Moment

April 14, 2020

A Watershed Moment More Than Half the World’s Water Comes From Mountainous Watersheds Now Impacted by Environmental Change Extreme weather, wildfire, land-use change, early snowmelt, and other disturbances are significantly reshaping hydrology and biogeochemical interactions within mountainous watersheds all over the world. Interactions between a watershed’s soil, plants, microbes, fluids, and minerals govern the cycling…

Berkeley Lab Study Provides New Insights Into Measuring Aquifer Recharge in Semi-Arid Regions

June 5, 2018

Berkeley Lab researchers who study aquifer recharge and groundwater quality measured concentrations and isotopic composition of the trace element Strontium (Sr) in groundwater to evaluate how local topography affects the amount of groundwater recharge across a semi-dry riparian floodplain in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Their study location was the Rifle Site, one of 18 former…

Romy Chakraborty in her research lab

This article was authored by Massie S. Ballon for the Joint Genome Institute. Ecology Department Head Romy Chakraborty participated in this research on behalf of EESA.   In the air, beneath the ocean’s surface, and on land, microbes are the minute but mighty forces regulating much of the planet’s biogeochemical cycles. To better understand their…

Tool created at Geosciences Measurement Facility Enables Unprecedented Look at Subsurface Rock Fractures

June 1, 2018

A new instrument developed at the Geosciences Measurement Facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will help scientists working to identify ways to improve enhanced geothermal systems technologies to expand access to clean energy. Two of the instruments, called SIMFIP (Step-Rate Injection Method for Fracture In-Situ Properties), were installed in late May nearly 5,000 feet below…
