Isotopes, fish, footy and more isotopes.... Prof at University of New Brunswick
Ever wondered how to make your stable isotope data more reliable? 🤔
A lesson from Nate Silver’s election polls might help.

Happy #WorldEggDay! 🥚
A few curious students and a few cartons of eggs led to one of my favourite isotope stories — testing whether “free range” eggs really lived up to their label. Spoiler: the isotopes told the truth.

Delighted to be back teaching on The Survivor's Guide to Stable Isotope Ecology for 2026 - its always a highlight of the year. A fantastic week of isotopic learning in a truly magnificent location. www.exedramc.com/courses/surv...

Food webs are the blueprint of ecosystems.

Want to know what fuels migrating birds? Or how invasive species disrupt rivers and lakes? The answers are in the food web — and stable isotopes let us read it.

Diel dissolved organic matter patterns reflect spatiotemporally varying sources and transformations along an intermittent stream
Stream dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a globally important carbon flux and a locally important control on stream ecosystems, and therefore understanding controls on stream DOM fluxes and dynamics ...

Aquatic science folks: Would anyone mind sharing a conference poster that presents some kind of water quality time series data?

I'm developing a water science course where students will make a poster on water quality data they collect during the trimester. I would love to provide some examples!

The original ‘tosspot’, in the 16th century, was someone who ‘tossed back’ their ‘pot’ of beer and then immediately went back for another.
