We explore the natural cycles and basic aspects of Earth sciences that underpin sustainable solutions to the growing need for energy and water resources.https://bsky.app/profile/eesaberkeleylab.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social/post/3mhye5tsyfe2kThis incredible new reindeer moss wall at our BioEPIC building celebrates plant-soil-microbe interactions. Best part? The design was crowd-sourced from a photo competition among our own building community at @berkeleylab.lbl.gov @biosci.lbl.gov 26 Mar 2026 19:38 +0000at://did:plc:m533x5k6c4wujquehdmx63fd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhye5tsyfe2khttps://bsky.app/profile/eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social/post/3mfrzvbrra62s🌱A recent study led by EESA scientists shows how microbes from the rhizosphere–the region of soil made up of plant roots and their associated microbes–can help plants better recover from drought. https://bit.ly/4kXbDFS https://eesa.lbl.gov/2026/02/13/managing-microbes-for-more-resilient-plants/26 Feb 2026 20:28 +0000at://did:plc:m533x5k6c4wujquehdmx63fd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfrzvbrra62shttps://bsky.app/profile/eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social/post/3mbrpp34b5t2c🔎Using electron microscopy, scientists examined how heat affected cement-like material at the nanoscale. Understanding how materials react to underground environments is key to expanding enhanced geothermal systems. @brookhavenlab.bsky.social @berkeleylab.lbl.gov @molecularfoundry.lbl.gov https://eesa.lbl.gov/2025/11/10/studying-materials-science-at-the-nanoscale-to-inform-geothermal-development/06 Jan 2026 19:45 +0000at://did:plc:m533x5k6c4wujquehdmx63fd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbrpp34b5t2chttps://bsky.app/profile/eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social/post/3map4yokesd2z2025, wrapped. ✨ As we take a break for the holidays, we look back on a year of rigorous science, deep collaboration, and real-world impact. Glad to be here on @bsky.app to share it with you. 🌍🔬Here’s to what’s next. #Science #2025Wrapped @berkeleylab.lbl.gov 24 Dec 2025 01:40 +0000at://did:plc:m533x5k6c4wujquehdmx63fd/app.bsky.feed.post/3map4yokesd2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social/post/3m7qhlbqffl22🦠 How can microbes help with contamination cleanup? To find out, our researchers investigated the genes and traits of Iodidimonas, a bacterial group common in systems that treat produced water left over from oil and gas production. @biosci.lbl.gov @berkeleylab.lbl.gov https://bit.ly/44PxxUI11 Dec 2025 20:56 +0000at://did:plc:m533x5k6c4wujquehdmx63fd/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7qhlbqffl22https://bsky.app/profile/eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social/post/3m7dfgv2rfm2k🐟 How can #AI strengthen water-quality predictions? EESA scientists found that “ensembling” multiple ML models boosts accuracy of river temperature predictions, including in data-poor water regions. @NERSC Details: https://bit.ly/44RSmPo 06 Dec 2025 16:14 +0000at://did:plc:m533x5k6c4wujquehdmx63fd/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7dfgv2rfm2k
