		<title>Human activities shape global patterns of decomposition rates in rivers </title>
		<link>https://ess.utah.edu/blog/posts/2024-2025/06-2024-shah-human-activities-shape-global-patterns-of-decomposition-rates-in-rivers.php</link>
	<description>Jennifer Follstad Shah&#039;s research on how human activities shape global patterns of decomposition rates in rivers is featured in Science. This research shows that &quot;in the presence of continued environmental change, organic-matter decomposition rates will likely increase in rivers, resulting in declines in shorter-term carbon storage and reductions in carbon transfer to longer-term storage compartments, such as reservoirs, floodplains, and oceans.&quot;</description>

		<title>Green gentrification cycle: Double-edged sword of environmental justice</title>

	<description>Tim Collins&#039; research on green spaces and gentrification featured in @theU. Living near green spaces improves mental health, reduces mortality, and boosts lifetime earnings. Cities have built green spaces in low-income areas to reduce health and economic disparities, but this often leads to &quot;green gentrification,&quot; displacing original residents.</description>
