Si Synthesis Feedback

The Silica Synthesis project is an effort to understand how silica concentrations and exports are changing in rivers around the globe and understand the drivers of those changes. Specifically, this offshoot of the project is seeking to understand seasonality of silica concentrations. This form has been created as an effort to integrate local-scale knowledge into this synthesis efforts. If you are working at any of the sites listed below, please consider filling out the form for your site(s)! Thank you for your contribution!

Map above and Figure below from Jankowski et al. (In Review). Long-term changes in concentration and yield of riverine silicon from the poles to the tropics. Our goal is to understand what drives Si behavior across biomes and over time.
