I had the best time talking about stream ecology to a grade 4 class last week with @skypeascientist.bsky.social 👩‍🔬🐟💦
Their curiosity and enthusiasm was truly infectious 🥹

Interesting day of presentations and discussions between scientists and managers at Aquatic Research Cooperative #ARC Research Day!

And attended a great @ubcbiodiversity.bsky.social seminar talk from Dr John Kominoski about DOM in the Florida Everglades!

Had a great time speaking with @kenzco4.bsky.social ’s Boreal-Arctic Biogeochemistry Lab! (Thanks for the awesome sticker!)

Nostalgic visit to my MSc alma mater UBC this week @forestry.ubc.ca 🌲

Beautiful few days in the British Columbia Coast Mountains for some fieldwork. We were taking down a long-term warming experiment for the winter. Already looking forward to coming back in the spring/summer! 🏔️🛶🥾

First day at SFU today starting a new postdoc position—which was preceded by a weekend of kayaking in the Sechelt Inlet! It’s great to be back in British Columbia! 🥳

We found some mixed results: no observed effect of the impoundments on leaf litter decomposition, a longitudinal effect on organic matter stocks, and a local effect of high diffusive CO2 and CH4 emissions downstream of one of the two impoundments.

We measured upstream and downstream of two small impoundments like this one, as well as at other reaches along the Tarentaine river network in France.

Visited some lowland peat ditches in East Anglia with @peatymike.bsky.social to collect CH4 ebullition measurements for the LowlandPeat3 project. Some of the ditches were dry, others covered in duckweed, and we even spotted a fish in one!

An excellent few days in Aarhus, Denmark for the Beyond the Surface symposium on inland water greenhouse gas emissions! So many inspiring talks and discussions

Stoked to be kicking off a week of science at EGU in Vienna! #EGU25

Climate, trophic state, and drying influenced N2O emissions from ditches, while CO2 emissions had complex drivers difficult to disentangle at the global scale

We synthesized global ditch GHG data and found that ditches emit notable CO2 and N2O--at higher rates than ponds, lakes and reservoirs
