As an #actuallivingpublicservant @NRCan #CFS, I play at the nexus of science, practice and policy for adapting sustainable forest management to #climatechange. Rarely a dull day in the world of knowledge integration and collaboration building!

Our groundbreaking tree-ring study, just published in @NatureComms, uncovers compelling evidence of decreasing tree growth rates across Canadian forests from 1951-2018, linked to rising summer temperatures @cflscf @NRCan #ClimateChange #Drought #TreeRing rdcu.be/dpMXZ

We are hiring! CFS is looking for new forestry officers across Canada. Apply into the pool by November 10th to be considered. #forestry #ForestryJobs More details here: nrcan-rncan.hiringplatform.ca/144999-forestr…

Need a forest age map or ideas how to make one? 🧐Paper also reviews estimation of forest age with #remotesensing. @James_Maltman_1 et al. Estimating and mapping forest age across Canada's forested ecosystems. #Landsat Paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Data: opendata.nfis.org/mapserver/nfis…

Forests are part of a living system where carbon is continually captured from and emitted into the atmosphere. Learn how Canada calculates forest carbon, and check out our #ForestCarbon101 information here: ow.ly/bGTw50Q0CAJ

DYK that the national equations used in Canada to estimate the aboveground biomass of individual trees are biased in the case of small black spruce from peatlands, by far the most common trees in Canada? In this new paper we fix that. See this thread 1/9 cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

The #2BillionTrees program is accepting applications from Indigenous governments, organizations and communities for tree-planting and capacity-building projects. Apply here: ow.ly/tgMp50PYLkK

Join us for the Laurier Northern Webinar Series on Wildfire in the North: Impacts and Adaptions. @GWF 📅 Date: Oct 17, 2023 🕒 Time: 3:00 PM EST / 1:00 PM MST Email northernwaterfutures@gmail.com for the registration link.

We are seeking graduate students at the Dynamic Carbon and Ecosystems (DYCE) lab at the University of Utah for Fall 2024! We use remote sensing to study wildfire, vegetation, and carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. Learn more: dycelab.net

We've recently published a new article in our special issue with @FACETSJournal: Indigenous protected and conserved areas (IPCAs): Canada's new path forward for biological & cultural conservation and Indigenous well-being 🌿 Read Here: facetsjournal.com/doi/full/10.11…

People saying Wab’s speech didn’t sound ‘NDP’ might not know that to a lot of Indigenous folks it’s less about the political party and more of a search for the closest connection to the community values many Indigenous folks know and understand based on their cultural teachings.

We are hiring! @borealbirds based @UAlberta is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop spatial models of bird abundance to inform environmental impact assessment and conservation planning. Learn more 👉 borealbirds.ca/impact-assessm… #Ecology #conservation

Listen to #Laurier forest ecologist Jennifer Baltzer on CBC's Quirks and Quarks 🎧 cbc.ca/radio/quirks/q… Baltzer says more frequent and intense #wildfires are changing the makeup of our boreal forests and may even result in a loss of forest cover altogether. @forestecogrp
