Still buzzing from the Mountain Voices launch event in Banff at the Whyte Museum on Friday. Thrilled to share the stage with Senator Karen Sorensen, Bill Snow, Ali Criscitiello, Leanne Allison and a dozen more contributors—mountain royalty! @mountainlegacy.bsky.social

Very happy to report the first glimpse at the new identity for our research group—EcoVisualization Studio—which combines @mountainlegacy.bsky.social with CEDAR (Co-Lab for Ecological Design And Restoration). More soon!

Big thanks to PhD student, Claire Wright, who managed the fieldwork, & Wildfire Canada, and Jasper National Park for great support. Great to work alongside UBC faculty Jeanine Rhemtulla & Lori Daniels. We were delighted to have artist/photographer Desirée Patterson and writer Jesse Winter join us.

Wrapped up a very successful field season with @mountainlegacy.bsky.social. We repeat high resolution oblique photographs in some case for the fourth time creating a sequence from 1915 to the present including before and after photos of the 2024 Jasper Wildfire Complex.

I had the pleasure of working with 16 fine students in the School of Environmental Studies @uvic.ca and in our Restoration of Natural Systems Program. They delivered insights for the community on six research projects that key into priorities of the galianoconservancy.org

Very proud of newly-minted PhD, Dr. James Tricker. His dissertation helped develop new tools for classifying, analyzing, and geo-referencing oblique images. His work focused on a critical look at historical range of variability in light of emergent ecological novelty in Jasper National Park.

We argue for a flexible and adaptable version of future restoration (Restoration 3.0) that comes to grips with increasing ecological novelty and bionovelty. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/15...
