Excited to announce that our latest #SurvivalOfTheDeepest paper was just published! Read more about it here ⬇️
A decade ago, we published our highly cited "Hydrological Feedbacks in Northern Peatlands" paper in Ecohydrology.
Today the sequel just dropped!
"Hydrological Feedbacks in Northern Peatlands 2: Peat Depth as a Control on Peatland Resilience"

Excited to share that our research group's latest "Survival of the Deepest" paper has been accepted! We outline how strengths of several ecohydrological feedbacks are likely different between #peatlands of different depths, leading to increased vulnerability of shallow systems.
Winner of the 2025 #NobelPeatPrize for top McMaster peat paper is Furukawa et al. accepted earlier today in Ecohydrology!
Almost four years to put this together. A complete lab group effort! Abstract attached.

The #NobelPeatPrize (International) will be announced Dec. 11th

Really grateful that I had the chance to learn from Gracie & help out with this Georgian Bay Biosphere video!

In the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab, we've been studying how #moss transplants can help to kickstart vegetation recovery after a severe #wildfire.

Really enjoying watching Slow Horses, but I hate how often Gary Oldman is shown throwing cigarettes on the ground.... multiple times per episode! 🚯🚭 We need to stop normalizing this #PlasticPollution in media. #SmokingLitter
