For the very keen, a preprint is available here doi.org/10.1088/1748...

Very excited that this paper has now been accepted! It was great to collaborate with this bunch of bright and thoughtful scientists. I think we managed to fit a lot of ideas about ditch GHG accounting and mitigation in a short perspective! 🤗 Stoked to share it soon!

Putting greenhouse gas emissions numbers into context can be hard. The numbers are large, unfamiliar, and not intuitive.

That's why Project Drawdown and a team at the University of San Francisco collaborated to create a new web tool -- Carbon in Context.

Ugh, sorry to hear it 😓
Onto the next! 🫡

Super interesting paper!

Peaty people: we're hosting a special issue in the Taylor & Francis journal Sustainable Environment. Do consider submitting to it - the scope is broad and multidisciplinary. think.taylorandfrancis.com/article_coll...

I had the best time talking about stream ecology to a grade 4 class last week with @skypeascientist.bsky.social 👩‍🔬🐟💦
Their curiosity and enthusiasm was truly infectious 🥹

Interesting day of presentations and discussions between scientists and managers at Aquatic Research Cooperative #ARC Research Day!

And attended a great @ubcbiodiversity.bsky.social seminar talk from Dr John Kominoski about DOM in the Florida Everglades!

Had a great time speaking with @kenzco4.bsky.social ’s Boreal-Arctic Biogeochemistry Lab! (Thanks for the awesome sticker!)

Beautiful few days in the British Columbia Coast Mountains for some fieldwork. We were taking down a long-term warming experiment for the winter. Already looking forward to coming back in the spring/summer! 🏔️🛶🥾

Wahoo! Looking good! Good luck 😃

Just submitted our collaborative perspective piece! 🎉 It‘s all about improving accounting and mitigation of GHG emissions from ditches—sparked by the great presentations and discussions at our ditch symposium! 📈🧪👩‍🔬🌍

First day at SFU today starting a new postdoc position—which was preceded by a weekend of kayaking in the Sechelt Inlet! It’s great to be back in British Columbia! 🥳

Fab! I would love to! I’ll send you a message 😊

Yes, I think he mentioned it!

Ooh! Very excited to read this! 👏
