Hello! Part of INHS @prairieresearch.bsky.social, the Illinois River Biological Station, our mission is to advance scientific understanding, conservation, and sustainable management of our large river ecosystems through cutting-edge research, partnerships, and public education. Check us out!

If you like fishes, cutting edge riverine research & smiling techs showing off their cool catches in the field, make sure to follow the Illinois River Biological Station. IRBS is 1 of 7 field stations at INHS. It is located on the Illinois River in Havana, IL
& has a rich history in stream ecology.

A presentation setting with two speakers at a podium, one gesturing toward a laptop. A large screen displays the text: “With generative models, we dig into the past and construct the future out of what we find.” This mission statement highlights the potential of generative AI to make cultural history a live creative force.

A rather good mission statement from @alphachar.bsky.social and @martinpi.bsky.social. One of several moments that made me happy at the Creative Narrative Workshop organized by @arnicas.bsky.social and @mariaa.bsky.social

An image of mangroves at sunset. A portrait of Astrid Schomaker, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity is also featured along with a quote: "The IPBES Assessment Report on Transformative Change [...] offers concrete strategies and actions to enable the fundamental changes needed to meet the targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) and to fulfil the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity: Living in Harmony with Nature."

Probing obstacles to transformative change – including human practices and habits – contributes to charting pathways to a more just & sustainable world for people and nature.🌍🧪

Good morning, #AAA2024! Delightfully started the day with a visit from @erichirsch.bsky.social, author of Acts of Growth: Development and the Politics of Growth in Peru.

Burying the baton... — Knowledgeable Ltd With just one day to go before the Paris 2024 opening ceremony, I have just come up with a new Olympic Event.  I know - my timing sucks. It’s a combination of the 4x100m relay, and the long jump...

Knowledge transfer - some Olympic thoughts on the dangers of burying the baton rather than passing it...

Dams and Damages Dams in northern Minnesota devastated the Ojibwe way of life. IN 1985, THE US GOVERNMENT paid members of Minnesota's Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe more than $3 million for tribal land taken from them a century earlier. The ancestors of today's Leech Lake Band lived off the land and three lakes-Winnibigoshish, Leech, and Pokegama—at the headwaters of the Mississippi. In 1881, after decades of planning, the US Army Corps of Engineers began building an experimental dam at Lake Winnibigoshish. Dams and reservoirs upstream could regulate the flow of water downstream, especially at St. Anthony Falls. Millers and other waterpower users at St. Anthony Falls were eager to have a constant flow during low water periods. Harvesting wild rice, Leech Lake Reservation, 1939 Photograph by Monroe P. Killy CANADA CANADA Mississippi River Headwaters Reservoirs ND MINNESOTA St: Anthony Folle 8d Paul WI SD Once the dam at Winnibigoshish proved a success, other dams followed. The reservoirs created by these dams were devastating to Ojibwe resources. Wild rice beds were flooded and destroyed. Regulated water levels made fishing difficult or impossible. Gardens were ruined. Burial grounds were washed out. As damage to Ojibwe lands became clear, the US government sought to make amends. In 1890 Congress appropriated $150,000 to reimburse the Ojibwe for the land lost to water. Generations passed before Ojibwe people received additional compensation. No white man knows of the damage that would be done to us. As long as the sun shall pass over our beads we would have been able to live here if this dam had not been commenced. Every year what supports us grows on this place. If this dam is built we will all be scattered, we will have nothing to live on. -Sturgeon Man, Pillager band of Ojibwe, at a Leech Lake council, 1883

From the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis. Most dams in MN were built on natural lakes to regulate water flow downstream, with major implications for tribes. Dams raised lake levels, which flooded forests, burial grounds, and farms and disrupted wild rice production. Dam
