Rock glaciers and the future of mountain water resources on @NPR's ShortWave podcast today--listen here: npr.org/2024/10/11/121…

And if you are more of a visual learner, check out our recent YouTube video about rock glaciers: youtube.com/watch?v=QChKP8…

Big day for my rock glacier awareness efforts... npr.org/2024/09/30/nx-…

Someone randomly retweeted this today so I was reminded of it. What a wild time that was.

Thrilled to share this preprint from my postdoc w/ @joannalkelley Studying Zoarcoidei, we detected gradients in antifreeze protein (AFP) copy number across habitat temperature and pressure driven by homologs translocated out of an ancestral AFP array biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

NOAA led State of the Climate 2023 report published in BAMS is out. The cover is a pair of images I took of a glacier that dissappeared in 2023 after 40 years of our continuous monitoring, overall the cryosphere not faring well. @NOAAClimate @ametsoc ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/…

Current view: The rarely seen up close Skillet Glacier in Grand Teton National Park.

Mountain glaciers in the western United States: 100 years of change. This is an excerpt from a longer video on our lab's YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=vgPcJt… Thanks to the Glacier RePhoto project for making these powerful images available.

This will be an ongoing series to blend education with the wonders of mountain fieldwork. Feedback certainly welcome. Video production is no joke!

We've finished the first fieldwork "episode" for our lab's YouTube channel--a day exploring a high mountain basin in southern Utah. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=VCRVBV…

This student-led work stems from the Climate Adaptation Intern Program--a new program at USU to support undergrads engaging with climate change. The program is supported by Secure Water Future (@USDA_SWF), @usuextension, and @USU_WATS. More info: qcnr.usu.edu/research/caip/

The definitive caddisfly phylogeny has arrived! Congrats @paulbfrandsen and all on more than a decade of effort… royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Our work on caddisfly phylogenetics is out today in @RSocPublishing Proc B! I started this work as a wee PhD student, and I am really pleased to have it out. Thank you to all of my co-authors who were so patient and helpful.
