🔥Wildfires are growing in frequency and intensity worldwide. How do they affect the flow of carbon from forests into downstream waters? 🌳🌊 Our new paper @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social with @waterik.bsky.social @ecfreewoman.bsky.social now online to read: dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025... 🧵1/n

Logging changes the composition of the organic matter in nearby streams, making the organic matter more reactive. According to the authors, these changes are enough to flip logging from a carbon-sink to carbon-neutral or even a carbon-source. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

We are so excited our newest paper led by @ecfreewoman.bsky.social @camplantsci.bsky.social is now out @pnas.org 🤩

🌲 We followed a forest as it was logged to understand what happens to soil carbon at a molecular-scale. Here's what we learned. 1/n

Another year in the beautiful streams of Gaspesie. Maddie, Casey, and Emma spent several days setting up in-stream samplers and completing vegetation surveys… stopping only to cool off on the stream! #ecology #watershedscience #forestscience #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci @memorialu.bsky.social

Celeste has spent the last few weeks in the forests of NW Ontario as part of her PhD research with help from Antonin visiting as an intern from @insa-lyon.fr. Working with @waterik.bsky.social and others, she has been studying headwaters - where streams begin! 🌊

Today we had a catastrophic failure of expensive lab equipment, so to celebrate I thought I would post a picture of two buckets of ice packs. They never fail us.

Some very exciting peatland research going on in Sudbury. After decades of amazingly successful forest restoration efforts, research is shifting towards the peatlands. Led by @mercury-ecohydro.bsky.social and others

🪱UF grad student Abigail Belchior is exploring benthic macroinvertebrates on the Ocklawaha River! Partnering with FL LAKEWATCH and @waterik.bsky.social, she’s using kick-and-sweep and Ponar grab sampling to study seasonal shifts in biodiversity, water quality, and habitat. Exciting insights ahead!🌿

What happens when 300+ scientists analyse the same data? Not the same answer! Lessons about staying open to alternate explanations, don't rush to judge, and potential for more than one "truth" in nature? 🤔 Grateful to contribute to this amazing initiative. Read it for free: doi.org/10.1186/s129...

It was an absolute honour to co-chair “A lake trout legacy: Honouring the research and mentorship of Dr. John Gunn” with @lake-lover.bsky.social at #SCAS2025. John has inspired so many. What a fantastic career.
