NPR Report: Rising Seas Push Too Much Salt Into The Florida Everglades
A recent NPR story featured research being conducted by FCI co-director Tiffany Troxler (FIU) on the effects of sea level rise on the Florida Everglades. Troxler is participating in an experiment that pumps salt water into a test site in the Everglades in order to examine how the salt water may change the structure of plants and soil. "When we start to lose the structure of the plants," said Troxler, "essentially this peat, which is otherwise held together by roots, becomes a soupy pond."

NSF Funding UF Research on Zika Virus
Sadie Ryan (UF) and colleagues, have just received a National Science Foundation grant to study the socio-ecology and climate responses of Zika virus transmission by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in southern coastal Ecuador. By analyzing blood samples, deploying climate sensors, and conducting socio-ecological surveys, the researchers will gain insight into the spread of Zika as climate, altitude and socioeconomic levels change.
