Amiable Consulting supports Earth and environmental science faculty to submit more and better grant proposals to the National Science Foundation (NSF). Amiable works closely with scientists to refine and improve the outreach, diversity, and education parts of their proposals, to develop evaluation plans, and to add a solid literature basis for all activities. We are also delighted to coordinate broader impacts and conduct the evaluation when their proposals are funded! When you send your draft proposal to our "red team," we will act as the crabby reviewers and poke all the holes in your proposals so you can revise it before you submit!

St. Croix Watershed Research Station

I run a brand-new sediment core incubation laboratory at the St. Croix Watershed Research Station for the study of "internal phosphorus loading" to lakes in Minnesota and around the world. When the deep water and sediments of lakes lose their oxygen (which occurs because of decomposition of dead algae), previously buried phosphorus (P) is released. This powerful nutrient then mixes with lake surface water and feeds more algae growth. We measure the maximum potential for lake sediment P release by "incubating" small sediment cores in the laboratory. this lake-specific information helps lake associations, watershed districts, and other stakeholders understand and manage lake health.I am also assisting SCWRS with development and implementation of an expanded outreach program to the general public, watershed managers, Tribes, agencies, and environmental engineering firms. In the future I hope to identify funding to support the Museum's equity and inclusion goals through the environmental research of the Station, and to assist with the Museum's evaluation activities.
