Where do streams and rivers start? The answer has been a point of uncertainty for regulators, managers, and researchers for decades!

I am soon recruiting two PhDs and a postdoc, to work on carbon, methane, metabolism in arctic stream networks. Glad to chat potential opportunities during #AGU24 @agu.org ! There is also soon another postdoc position on oxygen responses to peatland restoration with @ryansponseller.bsky.social ⬇️

Hi Bluesky, I am happy and optimistic to be here! Anyone know a freshwater fisheries biologist into teaching who might want to come join me in the beautiful Ozark streams of SW Missouri?
Please share/repost.

Today let’s honor Ramon Margalef (1919-2004) who pioneering works on ecosystem organization, energy dynamics, and biodiversity.

While indirect his work align conceptually with the holistic approach of #Gaia theory, emphasizing the intricate ties between life and the environment.

The land is drying out as heavier, less frequent rainfall runs off rather than replenishing ground water & a thirstier atmosphere more effectively saps soil moisture:

Nature reclaims its rights: Indigenous communities fought to bring down four hydroelectric dams blocking passage for struggling salmon along more than 644 km of the Klamath River and its tributaries along the Oregon-California border. The results seem very encouraging apnews.com/article/klam... 🌎
Salmon return to lay eggs in historic habitat after largest dam removal project in US history
Less than a month after four towering dams on the Klamath River were demolished, hundreds of salmon made it into waters they have been cut off from for decades to spawn in cool creeks.
