@stfxuniversity is well represented (3 alum!) on the co-author list of this important study, just published in Nature Climate Change. Permafrost is a bigger carbon emitter than we thought because emissions continue in the winter: cbc.ca/news/technolog…

@BenBondLamberty I was in Hali too (2 hr from home), sitting on a restaurant patio when you walked by. I figured it was a doppelgänger. Have fun!

@Steampunk_T That’s cool. It would be a great project. I wonder how it would ride on the gravel road?

@maltby_ella Thanks @EllaMaltby for a great few days and especially our coastal zone outings. It’s a good field school when I learn something too!

Can we just agree that every student should do an Aquatic Resource field course in the Cape Breton highlands? Because it's awesome? Thanks @drisk_eh for letting me TA and getting students pumped about barnacle larvae!!

A more personal @fluxlab feature than I’m used to! A process I love: Hiring keen 1st year students as research technicians, building their skills for years, sending them (inter)nationally for projects, watching them get headhunted and/or besting PhD students for meeting awards.
StFX University@stfxuniversity

We’re honouring Dr. Dave Risk, Professor of Earth Sciences at StFX and head of The Flux Lab, which has given countless students real-world research experience. One of his students had this to say: “He has an ability to help people realize skills they didn’t even know they had.”

...a real honour for me! Thanks to KE @StFXRowing (another 🙌 leader) for making this happen. In @kentmacdonald I see deliberate leader who reflects and sees himself from the outside. He strikes a balance between dreamer and realist. He trusts and listens. I’ll miss him.
StFX University@stfxuniversity

Dr. Dave Risk is introducing StFX President Dr @kentmacdonald, and praising his personal style of leadership. “Kent buys Timbits and coffee for staff clearing StFX walkways in the early morning. He’s a passionate man who has borne the weight of StFX with integrity and honour.”

@drisk_eh Have you been to Boyle’s biogas Facility in Afton? I believe it powers a 550KW turbine. Just coming online.

Defences, graduations, and startups...seeing people move on from @FluxLabX is always sad. And rebuilding takes work. But wow - what a well rounded and high functioning team I’ve worked with during the last few years. The accomplishments and futures they’ve earned...amazing!

An ultra composed MSc defence from ⁦@tarahanl0n⁩ (in grey, prepping anemometer)! Her research improves wind measurement from moving vehicles. It’s a difficult measurement that, if done well, helps us accurately measure natural gas leaks whilst in motion. ⁦@FluxLabX

Interesting. It makes me wonder why the fossil energy sector is so dogmatic on pipeline business model. Maybe profit. In Nova Scotia, we scaled controversial renewable wind energy projects - quickly - using clever community investment & ownership models. cbc.ca/news/business/…
