@DrLimnology @umontana @GlacierNPS @FLBSUM Really interesting work, congrats! Makes me wonder how the conditions in glacial lakes and their biotic communities transition along a gradient of lake age, from newly formed to primarily snowfed. Time will tell!

Excited to see the paper from our epic "new lakes" project out today! Congrats to soon-to-be-Dr Joe Vanderwall for seeing this one across the finish line! Can you find the boat in the last pic? @umontana @GlacierNPS aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln…

Proud of this on-the-fly analogy in an @CNN interview on snow algae and why it's red (or other colors): “I’m very light skinned, I have more struggles with the sun's UV than people with much more pigmented skin–same idea for algae,” Hotaling said. cnn.com/2023/06/25/us/…

@JulieAFortin Thanks Julie!! Summer of 2017 feels like forever ago when I started my research journey with you. Can’t wait to read about your PhD work!

@KarsonSudlow Congrats Karson!!!

How do melting glaciers affect algae in alpine streams? Find out tomorrow at 1PM MST when I defend my MSc thesis!!!! Send me an email at sudlow@ualberta.ca if you’d like the zoom link for this can’t-miss event 🚨🚨🚨

.@KarsonSudlow reminding us that algae in the cryosphere are super important but understudied, particularly in cryo-influenced freshwaters. #aslo23

If you can’t make it, I’ll be giving a similar talk at my thesis defence next week!!!! Reach out if you’d like the zoom link

ASLO friends! If glaciers, streams, and/or algae interest you, come to my talk tomorrow at 3:15 in Sala Protixol 1. Hope to see you there

Wrote a short blog about algae in glacial streams for the Alpine Club of Canada. I was fortunate to receive research support from the ACC’S Environment Fund. If you’re passionate about mountain biodiversity, please considering donating!!! @alpineclubcan blog.alpineclubofcanada.ca/blog/2022/glac…

🏞️ Glacially fed streams 🔬 Rock-attached algae or “epilithon” 🌡️ Effects of abiotic variables Interested in learning more? @KarsonSudlow has got you covered via this NEW paper in @cdnsciencepub Environmental Reviews ➡️ buff.ly/3KvS06g

@Graham_McDowell Thanks, Graham!! We ♥️ Canadian mountains

@KarsonSudlow @cdnsciencepub So rad, congratulations!

If you're curious about glaciers, mountain streams, or algae, wow do I have the review for you! Just published in Environmental Reviews, we discuss how disappearing glaciers affect algal communities in alpine streams. Enjoy! @cdnsciencepub el.nrcresearchpress.com/ls/click?upn=E…

@MtnScience @cdnsciencepub Thanks, Scott. And likewise! Definately got some inspo from all your great review articles!

@KarsonSudlow @cdnsciencepub Great work, Karson! Looking forward to reading/citing it. 🍻

Lastly, if you need even more convincing why algae are awesome, go read @ljevanso great story on glacial stream ecosystems. Check it! knowablemagazine.org/article/living…

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. And a big shout out to @simonnetremblay for all her help putting this together.

Excited to have played a small role in this piece alongside some all-star alpine stream scientists. Shouts out to @ljevanso for the great story and for letting me drag her up a few mountains. Check it out, y'all!

Happy to have help out in this! Check it out. Better yet, take action to help protect glaciers and the biodiversity that relies on them!!!

New preprint from our Teton alpine stream work! Led by @AquaJorg (and advised by @eco_scollins), we take a deep-dive into who is eating who in high alpine streams. Turns out that in addition to hydrologic influence, trophic flexibility is a big deal! 🔗: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@MtnScience @AquaJorg @eco_scollins Always humbled by the resilience of benthic communities in alpine streams. Make the best of the limited resources you have. Inspiring! Thanks for the great work @AquaJorg and Co.!
