My first post on bsky to announce my first solo author paper is out in @aslo.org L&O Letters. doi.org/10.1002/lol2... Thanks to lots of amazing conversations with collaborators and a call out on that other social media to gather info on lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, etc with calcium carbonate.
Images of calcium carbonate deposits as travertine, covering leaves, as microbialites, on a macroinvertebrate, as a whiting event in a lake, and as a benthic microbial mat.
