Understanding what strategies plants in the tundra use to live in harsh conditions, and how adaptable those strategies are “helps predict what’s going to win out as the climate changes and what’s going lose,” says Isla Myers-Smith in my latest for National Geographic nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar…

My master's paper on the role of burned forest in microclimate conditions was just published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology Journal! In the paper, we explore how a burned tree canopy influences growing season climate in interior British Columbia. Here's a link to the paper authors.elsevier.com/a/1fKmDcFXJcrvy

Let me Flex my Mussels!!!, Great day in the field surveying for Freshwater Mussel. I never pictured myself snorkeling as a part of my job!, but now I can say I mussled it 😂!
All mussels handled under permits

My first paper! I examined protected area effectiveness across British Columbia for representing various ecosystems, land covers and forest structure using #NTEMS data! The overall goal of the paper was to examine new ways to move beyond the areal conservation approach. 🧵/4

We want to extend our congratulations to our friend Jen Baron who just won the 2022-2023 Killam Doctoral Scholarship Award! A mighty achievement and well deserved.

Turns out rivers need water to function properly. Especially under a changing climate and shifts in precipitation regimes.

I am excited to see how we can make the Spey wet again. #ReleaseTheSpey
