It’s #WorldWetlandsDay, which means it’s the perfect time to share this story from my time @SycLandTrust. Last fall, beavers moved into one of our properties. I made a comic about the big, beautiful ecological changes we witnessed over the following weeks. (1/2) #scicomm #wetland

@dendrokurnology 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Beyond thrilled to continue learning w/ trees, peatlands, climate, & fostering creative, transdisciplinary approaches to research w/ @dendrokurnology @UTKGeography this fall! Thanks to so many for their support & encouragement over the years, would not be here w/out y’all 💗🌲🎨

Watch the recording of the first panel of our @NiCHE_NS Academic Arts : Artistic Academia! Personal is Political: Research & Curriculum with Kelly Young, Karleen Pendleton, @ellenbirdman, & @NickAndPlants. Mod. by @AmritaDasGupta9 & @nulybranch #envhum youtube.com/live/r1UE7FhE0…

Thinking about these two bald cypress trees that lived around 70,000 years apart from each other. Funky temporalities, arboreal existentialism, and #paleowoodanatomy make for a fine #TreeRingTuesday.

@JoeBuckInNature 🤩🤩🤩

This playshop stole my heart! What a joy to create and reflect and “blast that landscape!” with such incredible artists and thinkers. More on trans field note methods coming soon . . . 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌳📝💥💗

This week on the ITRL CaptuRing saga: PTGui, or the next Salvador Dali? 😂 #TreeRingTuesday

The results of a ten year pitcher plant painting addiction:

📢 our counter/cartographies issue just dropped! 📢 Read it for free (bit.ly/46XGQ47) or buy a print copy (bit.ly/2023yah)! 250+ pages of dope creative work challenging dominant imaginaries, representations & practices of space w/ contributors from around the 🌍

In a new study, researchers found that during the 2021 Brood X cicada emergence, many species of birds altered their diets to feed on this massive resource pulse, markedly altering the dynamics of forest food webs. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/4w0

Another set of Hawley-Bell oak samples from western Kentucky is ready to go for #dendrochronology #treerings #climate #humanenvironment Excited to see these analyzed as part of an undergrad thesis in @UofLGeo and eventually become part of a growing southeastern tree-ring network.

Super stoked to be involved in this alongside so many fantastic thinkers in queer-trans ecologies! 💗🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌲

I'm not at #PeatConf23 this year - but my poster for 'Tracking the Colour of Peatlands' project is! We have sites confirmed in Finland, Sweden, Wales and Ireland (and hopefully Ecuador!) If you want to take part - please reach out #PeatTwitter

*New Paper Alert! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… The implications of our study necessitate a re-assessment of seismic risk in the Puget Sound of Washington. The 🌲s give us a warning of potential earthquake scenarios for the heavily populated region.

Such a fun time with this crew and these beautiful trees! Bonus was introducing some ✨honorary #dendrats✨ from @UIgeodynamics to the field!

A few months in the making... & now finally ready: The Anti-Colonial Research Library hosts 400+ open-access articles and books, websites, YouTube videos on practical examples of Indigenous and anti-colonial research methodologies. Use and share widely! anticolonialresearchlibrary.org

This wee lil eastern larch from a peatland along Keweenaw Bay, MI takes us back to at least the 1770s (not including the inevitable missing rings hidden in there…)! 🥲 Happy #TreeRingTuesday, y’all 🌲💍🫶
