I think (hope) this marks the end of my field season!
And what a beautiful way to wrap it up, at a #peatland restored in 2023, with a lush carpet of Sphagnum mosses 🌿
Also, yes, that’s a bread knife in my hand. If you’ve ever sampled peat or moss in the field, you know it’s an essential tool 😉🔪

It is truly amazing what you can find in #peatlands restored with the Moss Layer Transfer Technique. Orchids at every step 🌸🌱

Just spent the week in the field with my first PhD student and her assistant, guiding them through research in restored Alberta #peatlands. They're now fully trained, slightly muddy, and ready to take the reins! 🌿🧪🦟

Flux flux flux! Starting fieldwork with MSc and PhD student out in the #peatland of Pointe Lebel. Shoutout to @wetland-ghg.bsky.social for lending us the #LGR for catotelm fluxes

Have you even done greenhouse experiment using #fen peat. We worked several times with brown mosses but it is the first time on fen peat and you can see we have a big problem with green algae... any ideas to limit their impact and proliferation?

We had the privilege of welcoming Dr Tomotsugu Yazaki from Meiji University for the past year 🌟
He was here to learn about peatland restoration, but we learned so much from you about the instrumentation to measure micrometeorological conditions
Safe travels home, and I hope to visit you in Japan ✈️

Last weekend, several of my students organized and participated in #WorldWetlandsDay. 🌿💦 They did an amazing job gathering collaborators from different fronts (Ducks Unlimited, City of Quebec, other #PeatECR), and in total, more than 150 people visited their booth! 🎉
