Getting to the site is indeed half the battle. Mauri Pelto’s recent photo inspired me to grab one of our own here in the Tetons. Stellar day.

I have been convinced!

I had an amazing two weeks sampling alpine stream food webs in the Tetons! If the inverts weren't emerging I might have stayed forever. Thanks for the great trip Scott Hotaling @eco_scollins Taylor Price deb finn Lydia Zeglin Mikey C. & Lusha Tronstad.

Are rock glaciers (and related features) key to long-term conservation of mountain stream biodiversity? Happy to share a new one in Western North American Naturalist led by #NoTwitter Lusha Tronstad w/ jgiersch and deb finn from our long-term monitoring in Grand Teton National Park. 🔗 scholarsarchive.byu.edu/wnan/vol80/iss…

Some fun math for you today: 1 soccer pitch: 7140 m2 1 ice worm: 0.0031 g (wet) Typical density: 200 per m2 So, 0.62 g of ice worms per m2 0.62*7140: 4426.8 g -> 4.4 kg There are 4.4 KILOS of ice worms in every soccer pitch-sized chunk of glacier where they live. Goodness.

We (me + #notwitter Huryn & Benstead) are recruiting motivated graduate students (MS or PhD) in stream ecology for our #NSF_funded project #FreezeOrFamine based out of Toolik Field Station!

#SelfiesForSarah so that @eco_scollins knows that I'm safe in the field. Featuring friend Dana and a blurry Lednia tetonica.

So honored to post a #SelfiesForSarah from upper Garnet Canyon with Karen Jorgenson and isabella errigo . We’re safe and have lots of data! @eco_scollins

Back home from a successful 7th (!) year of our long-term project to monitor changing alpine streams in the Teton Range. 8 days 12 sites 97 miles 21,500' of elevation gain 10 great people to share it with! Super excited about all of the great research coming from this...

Registration is open for our hybrid 26th annual Run for the Refuge! More info at northern.org/events #ProtectTheArctic

Twitter, please help us out: what do you think these "mystery bits" are? Red circles below. Animal pieces? Plant matter? They were seen in gut contents of a stonefly living in a glacier-fed stream. Thanks! cc Karen Jorgenson @eco_scollins deb finn Freshwater Science ASLO

Fall colors at Bonanza Creek LTER mean changes in stream chemistry are on their way! Featuring Jacob Adams.

Time to pull the sensors ❄️

Please share! Dr. Tamara Harms’ group at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is recruiting a postdoc with interests in biogeochemistry, hydrology, and data synthesis to join a team funded by the NASA ABoVE program. Remote work is possible. harmslab.org/blog

New preprint from our Teton alpine stream work! Led by Karen Jorgenson (and advised by @eco_scollins), we take a deep-dive into who is eating who in high alpine streams. Turns out that in addition to hydrologic influence, trophic flexibility is a big deal! 🔗: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
