In some places, permafrost can thaw w/ little change at the surface. Thaw causes slumping, erosion & landslides when the frozen ground contains a lot of ice, co-associated w/ high carbon content. Below are examples of ice-rich permafrost. Mineral 👇 Organic/peat 👇

@SimonSomogyiAFI @ConserveChange An associate professor representing the University of Guelph should NOT have to be asking this today. This is unacceptable. docs.google.com/document/d/1BR…

@ConserveChange What behaviour constitutes “being actively anti-racist”?

We stand with those protesting in an effort to bring justice to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade and all others who we’ve lost as a result of state-sponsored anti-black violence. This is not an isolated event and serves as a reminder of the work that we need to continue

“Be honest with yourself and the systems of oppression you may operate within or be actively maintaining.” Larissa Crawford is reiterating the importance of having uncomfortable conversations in order to achieve meaningful and sustainable climate action.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our #IWD2020 event this afternoon. We had an inspirational day hearing from guest speaker @larissa_speaks about the importance of diversity in the climate movement and networking with climate leaders in our community.💪🏽💕 #IWDUofG

If you’re a @uofg student (undergraduate/graduate) interested in getting involved in our summit, please email youthclimatesolutions@gmail.com to learn about our volunteering and mentoring opportunities! 😊

My kids are super excited because #permafrost was mentioned in an opening scene of #Frozen2. Instant elevation of mom's science.

Look for the bald beardy guy

The whiteboard in the lounge has some nice additions! We will miss you! @queenofpeat

@Sphagnum_P_Eye I’m another out there! I am a MSc student and have lived with anxiety and depression my whole life. Let’s break the stigma!!

Hi, my name is Will, and I’m a PhD student in ecosystem ecology with chronic depression and anxiety. I suspect there are a lot of us out there, so let’s speak up and break the stigma.

Kicking off a full day on campus with an amazing group of youth! First up: GIS workshop @GuelphGeography @uofg

#ScienceTwitter what's a subtle but important detail @ your system that the media often misses or gets wrong? Slips through the cracks perhaps. Here's mine- permafrost does NOT melt, it thaws. Ice melts but the soil/sediment in permafrost thaws. This is what fuels carbon release.

Some chilly lab work processing permafrost cores in a fridge! @fen_fatale @EvanSkience
