Time for project/product discussion groups - Kelly (ideas on how to do this from our paper writers?)

I think we could use a real plant physiologist - we have seen the importance of aerenchyma fluxes across our observatory sites. Sophie

Experimental Wetlands

These exist in PPR (Sheel), Louisiana (Jorge), and we have collaborators we can work with (Vanessa). How can our hypotheses inform work in these spaces? Sophie

I think we have AMBITIOUS and REALISTIC goals for all these trainee-lead products in the next year. -Sophie

The intimate synergy of data and modeling to elucidate new science. - Andrew

The vision for global, transferable representations of microbial wetland processes that would be available to less microbially sophisticated projects and modeling efforts is incredibly exciting. -Vanessa

Create direct connections (and collaborations) between trainees of different groups depending on data needs_Jorge

2024-03-29 16:54:38 UTC

regular meetings for each of the four sub-components of the project (field, lab, GEMs, ecosystem models). - Andrew

COMPASS-FME would be delighted to partner. Our microbiology is a very light touch, and could be an entry point for your deeper studies at any of our sites. Our samples and extensive data streams can be shared in support of your goals. -Vanessa

Understanding the metabolic biochemistry and organisms responsible for methane flux - Andrew

Flux data production and data interpretation in the context of wetland's ecology and management_Jorge

Methanotrophy in plant surfaces and its incorporation in modeling frameworks_Jorge

2024-03-29 16:59:05 UTC

I envision that I can contribute methods, results, figures, and dissemination materials that communicate our project - Andrew

2024-03-29 16:59:10 UTC

I think we would benefit from more meetings/data discussions.

Realising how and where my work fits in this project made me the most excited and nervous- Mahpara

We have a fairly underused slack channel for this team, but I think we could be more active in communicating across labs on it to facilitate more cross-niche synergy - Jared

2024-04-03 00:37:16 UTC

I'm largely an experimentalist on this project, but I can also help improve the carbon/methane-relevant bioinformatic databases used to curate omics data and used to inform modeling efforts - Jared

2024-04-03 00:39:37 UTC

I think we just generally need a better understanding of what data sets exist - I think we talked about this, but we could have a centralized list we all contribute one sentence to to explain each time we generate a new data set - Jared

Being able to finally see the connections between the microbiologists, hydrologists, geochemist, and more importantly the modelers. yo

2024-04-03 00:54:49 UTC

Divide up the team into integrative groups where data can be shared in a manner that is "convergent" i.e., what are the data gaps that will tell an interesting story? yo

I agree with Jorge that this is an important link that cannot be overlooked when it comes to determining net methane budgets. yo

I would like to see better integration between the CZNs, COMPASS and this project. I REALLY wanna eliminate possible redundancies. yo
