Enjoyed reconnecting with the many members of @horizoneu.bsky.social project #P2F (Past to Future: Towards Fully Paleo-Informed Future #Climate Projections) in Utrecht last week...including winning the scavenger hunt and getting the secret word - Globorotalia! #foraminifera

The show also does a great job of highlighting the importance of coproduction of knowledge and engagement with impacted Inuit communities, including when Max Kotokak Sr and Kevin Arey came to the UK to present the Imaryuk Monitoring Programme and its links with the BARIN beaver project.

To learn a bit more about beavers in the Arctic tundra, and my work on the @ukri.org CINUK project, check out the 'Beavers from Above' episode of CBC's The Nature of Things! 🦫

Always fun to join another UK Arctic Science Conference, this time at @northumbriauni.bsky.social, presenting initial stages of palaeo sea ice reconstruction, synthesis and mapping, within the @horizoneu.bsky.social project Past2Future - towards fully palaeo-informed climate projections.

Last week I was at @noc.ac.uk for the first time since 2012(!) for a workshop on the contribution of Arctic Ocean science to the International Polar Year 2032/33. A great opportunity to help shape priorities for future research with a cross-section of polar ocean experts.

My photo of cotton grass at dawn on the Arctic Ocean coastline won the Canadian Permafrost Association photo competition!

Thank you to everyone who voted :)

A great kick off in Utrecht to my role within the new #HorizonEU #Past2Future project, working towards fully palaeo-informed future climate projections.
I'm joining @durham-university.bsky.social as a research associate, focusing on Arctic and Antarctic sea ice reconstruction.

Yesterday I visited the Open University to share my #postdoc research on Arctic beaver range expansion and the knowledge exchange that was key to the work in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
It was great to also continue #EngagedResearch discussions we started 9 years (!) ago.

Had fun filming all things Arctic beaver range expansion and shrub dendrochronology for an upcoming documentary with CBC/PBS 🦫🪵
We had a beautiful day for it! ☀️

It's great being back in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region to continue BARIN beaver range expansion project surveying of dams and lodges, and working with Inuvialuit friends and colleagues again!

Time to start processing the hundreds of beaver-browsed shrub samples from the Inuvialuit Settlement Region 🪵🪚👩🏼‍🔬🔬
Double-stained thin sections help clarify the growth rings by staining lignified cell walls red and cellulose blue🎨

Hello everyone! 👋
I'm a postdoc researching beaver range expansion in the shrub-tundra in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in Arctic Canada. My work is part of the CINUK programme linking Inuit Nunangat, UK & Canada research on changing Arctic ecosystems & impacts to indigenous communities.
