In the @GBayBiosphere, at-risk turtles nest in shallow soil on #CanadianShield rock. BUT when #wildfire occurs, much of the soil burns off & erodes. Not only does this reduce the number of spots where #turtles can lay eggs, but also affects suitability of remaining nest habitat

Joanne Lam had the team's highest stop:turnover ratio while Emma Sherwood led the @MLQRaiders beaters in stops during the 2023 regular season. #MLQ2024

Feeling extra grateful for the forest ecology research group that all came out to the root picking extravaganza! Fun root themed snacks were provided :)

Our friends and colleagues in the Northwest Territories are in trouble. Fires have displaced many NWT communities; even Yellowknife is under evacuation alert. Please help: nwt.unitedway.ca/2023-emergency… @queenofpeat @NASA_ABoVE @seeoh2 @ipapermafrost @Polar_Research others Please RT 🙏

@Laurier and the Government of the NWT (@GNWT_ENR) Partnership is a Finalist for an EDI Community Engagement Initiative of the Year Award! Read about our work and please RT to support the nomination: triple-e-awards.com/index/finalist… #ACEEU_Awards #2023Entry550 @LaurierResearch

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

Our new research just published in @NatureClimate finds that the northern peatland carbon sink is being burned up by wildfire and degradation. Read along for some highlights and find the full paper here: go.nature.com/43Q7U3Z 1/n

🌲❄️🔥 Field ecology positions available! We are looking for summer field assistants to contribute to studies on subarctic forest responses to wildfire and permafrost thaw in the Northwest Territories 🇨🇦. forestecology.ca/contact/ @LaurierBiology @LaurierSci

@theheatherhogan For a YA novel with female protagonists, swords + arrows, queer characters, romance -> @kristincashore 's Graceling Realm novels, especially the first one for a happy ending

Friends, I’m having another surgery next week. I would love some book recommendations. I prefer women or queers, swords/bows and arrows, swoony romantic hijinks, and guaranteed happy endings. (Yes I’ve read Priory of the Orange Tree.) (10 times at least.)

@naturecognition What's super disappointing/frustrating to me is that he only got 40.82% of the votes and voter turnout was 43.5%, yet he still gets a majority government.

Early election results. A Conservative majority. Four more years of Doug Ford. The mini-Trump. Ontarians are morons. I wish I could leave this province. #onpoli #cdnpoli #OntarioElection2022

From @McMasterU we have four teams (including some familiar faces from last year's winners/runners-up): "McMaster Disaster Squad", "Team McDisaster", "Team McMappilicious", and "99 Problems and a Map Ain't One" @McMasterSEES @McMasterGIS

it is my birthday!! this is my favorite nature photo I took last year and my only wish for today is to see yours :)

If life ever gets to be too much, watching salamanders do weird shit is always a good way to come back down to earth.

@craniatology Had to read this a couple times because my brain decided that you were referring to a Christmas album by The Who

A beautiful piece from @globeandmail on the work that @SotheCamile and @AlemuGonsamo have been working on recent months, on the estimation of Canadian #CarbonStocks with #RemoteSensing and #MachineLearning . @WWFCanada @McMasterU @McMasterSEES theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

In honour of #WorldPeatlandsDay, I would like to try my first #AMA #AskMeAnything, as long as your question is peat or peatland-related. We're talking about bogs, fens, mires, peatlands, quagmires, moors...all depend on a foundation of thick peat. Ask away!
