Back from the past? Assessment of nitrogen removal ability of buried historic wetland soils before and after a 1‐year incubation on a restored floodplain

Response to Waters et al.(2022) The Anthropocene is complex. Defining it is not

The Anthropocene as an event, not an epoch

Unearthing a stream-wetland floodplain system: increased denitrification and nitrate retention at a legacy sediment removal restoration site, Big Spring Run, PA, USA

The Anthropocene serves science better as an event, rather than an epoch

Anthropogenic critical zones: Human legacies shape riparian soil profiles, hydrology, and biogeochemistry

Building Geoscientists With Hands-On, Place-Based Experience: A Chesapeake Bay Watershed Hydrogeology Field Camp for High School Students in Lancaster And Cumberland Counties …
