I enjoy the peat colours pics you post. You have created a great network and the #PeatPic science is also up for our #NobelPeatPrize for top paper of 2025. In an era of fancy (and expensive) lab and field equipment it is wonderful to see how a smart phone can advance peat science. Congrats Scott.

Nobel, home of the #NobelPeatPrize and @nobel-water.bsky.social got a little snow in last night's squalls.

A morning snowshoe in mid-thigh deep fresh powder is a fun and inspiring way to start a day of writing about #peatlands and #hydrology! #worklifebalance

The home of the #NobelPeatPrize (Nobel, Ontario) is being hammered by snow squalls today!

Why is this important for #peatlands?

Peatlands are critical reptile over wintering habitat in this region, especially the massasauga rattlesnake. Snow thermal insulation is important for these reptiles.
