The field season is still going strong up at the #turkeylakeswatershed and we’re feeling so lucky that we get to experience the peak of fall colours in Northern Ontario! Starting to button up our sites over the next couple of weeks. P.s. stay tuned for some amazing video content!

Local friends, are you curious what we do at GLFC ( or “bug lab” as it is locally known)? Stop by the @BushplaneCentre to see a display of 125 years of forestry science in Canada. And join us next Thursday for talks and family-friendly events. Info in QR.

Check out the latest article to come out of the #turkeylakeswatershed. Congrats Annie! @UWaterloo @forWaterNetwork

Loved this interview and love this site!! Take a listen and reach out if you have any questions about current research at @TurkeyLakes #experimentalwatershed #collaboration #environmentalscience #canada

Did you know that well over 400 publications have come out of @TurkeyLakes? These research findings inform policies about Canada's air, water, and forests. Check out this recent article by Kara Webster et al. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

This summer we've completed installation of ~200 temperature sensors and supplemental instruments across the greater @TurkeyLakes area. These installations are part of a new project investigating forest roads & stream interactions, lead by Jason Leach. #streamtemperature #roads

Excerpt cont’d: “Healthy aquatic ecosystems and an adequate supply of clean water are some of the most important ecosystem services that forests provide.”. In turn, long-term study sites like @TurkeyLakes give us the data to protect and understand this ecosystem service.

Excerpt from the most recent State of Canada’s Forests report: “Most of Canada’s drinking water is sourced from forest ecosystems. This includes most rural and Indigenous communities.” 1/2 #startwithwhy #CanadaForests #drinkingwater

This week at @TurkeyLakes we were back in the streams! Swapped temp sensors and did channel width measurements. With some bonus wildlife sightings😍🐢 #longtermresearch #climatechangedata #aquatichabitat #streamtemperature

Had a fun day at the Flowgatta to kick off #CGU2024! Nothing better than hanging out in the stream for a day doing salt dilutions.

We took samples from: xylem and phloem of maple and birch trees, varying depths of soil, soil pore water, subsurface water, stream, and precipitation. This sort of research Q benefits from the increased context that our continuous monitoring of stream and met conditions provide.

Ready for the weekend after a big week @TurkeyLakes. Under the guidance of @MagaliNehemy, @TrentUniversity students & CFS staff took hillslope isotope samples. Goal is to determine where our maple trees are getting their water from & improve our understanding of tree stress.

A lovely day at #TurkeyLakesWatershed, despite the black flies. We introduced this year’s summer students from @TrentUniversity to the site. And got 7 above stream met stations back up and running. I think we’re well on our way to a #smartforest! #collaboration #partnerships

Long-term measurements and sample collection helps us document shifts in climate and forest quality. And we can use findings from these unique long-term sites to expand our understanding of forest ecosystems across Canada.

Had a great day out at the #TurkeyLakesWatershed last week collecting water samples at 13 different long-term catchments. These samples will be analyzed for DOC, N, P, isotopes and more. We also grabbed manual water temp as well as water level to support flow calculations.

At @TurkeyLakes we’ve been busy buttoning up our hillslope monitoring sites for a long winter. However, streamflow, water chemistry and meteorological measurements continue year round.

Did you know we offer analytical services? We operate a cost-recovery, non-profit model to support research that aligns with NRCan-CFS mandates. We offer TOC, TN, DIC (combustion), DOM fluorescence & absorbance for water samples. For more info, reach out! #glfcscience #nrcansci

@peatofmind Awesome! This is my unofficial, biased nomination as well then😁

That proud supervisor moment when reviewing a paper and it says "Results similar to Hudson et al. (2021)" Woohoo Danielle! @daniellethudson

Today the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab starts reviewing our fave peaty papers of the last 12 months for our annual #NobelPeatPrize! Short list announced later this week. The paper I'm nominating. #PeatPaper #PeatTwitter @Krycklan1 @jan_seibert onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

The record-setting wildfires that ripped through Quebec this summer were made more likely and more intense by human-caused climate change, according to a new analysis by an international team of scientists. cbc.ca/news/climate/q…
