Still tired from waiting 108 years, plus extra innings and a 17-minute rain delay, for a World Series championship? While you rest up here’s a quick recap of the latest in EPA research—it’s a hit!
Ecosystem Markets Added to EPA’s EnviroAtlas
Ecosystem markets provide an innovative way to safeguard the goods and services people get from ecosystems, and EPA is thrilled to announce that maps of such markets are the latest major addition to our EnviroAtlas web tool. Read more in the blog Mapping Ecosystem Markets in EnviroAtlas: Providing Innovative Data and Tools to Inform Decision-Making.
EPA Lab Celebrates 50 Years of Research
EPA’s Western Ecology Division in Corvallis, Oregon recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of the dedication of the building. To commemorate the anniversary, the division opened the cornerstone and unsealed the time capsule to reflect on 50 years of research. Read more about the celebration in the blog EPA’s Western Ecology Division Reflects on 50 Years of Research.
Healthy Environments: A Shared Goal for Healthy Communities
This week at the 2016 American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting, EPA’s Dr. Tom Burke and APHA Executive Director Dr. Georges Benjamin signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) and APHA. Learn about the partnership in the blog Healthy Environments: A Shared Goal for Healthy Communities.
Pathfinder Innovation Project
The Pathfinder Innovation Project program is an internal competition for EPA scientists to receive time to explore their biggest ideas in environmental research. EPA’s Tamara Tal applied for the program to better understand whether the toxicity of environmental chemicals is modified by gut microbes. Learn about her team’s research project in the blog Pathfinder Innovation Project – Does the Microbiome Influence More than Just our Gut?
Scientists of the Corn
EPA is at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm studying how nitrate moves from crops like corn into groundwater. The study will help explain how we can protect drinking water by planting crops between corn rows to keep the nitrogen in the field. Learn more about the study in the blog Scientists of the Corn.
