Today is World Ocean Day, but I don’t feel like posting jolly pictures of the beautiful places I have had the opportunity to work in. Doing this work is hard. Some days are heavy. But we will persevere, as it is exactly what we need to be doing in these dire times.

Today I saw a guy riding a manual stand-up SCOOTER with a trailer full of gear down the Alaska Highway. Scoot-touring. Most hardcore thing I’ve ever seen. #touristseason

Some field work pics from the summer! Thank you to all the groups I worked with this year for stewarding your lands and making this field season so productive. #fieldwork #limnology #aquaticecology #skeenafisheries

About 2 hours ago I went into the river to ice my knee and stepped on an almost-dead salmon and screamed and fell into the river.. and tweaked said knee 🤦🏼‍♀️ #rehabfail #salmonlife

Having a midnight deadline for a grant when you’re 15 hours ahead in another time zone and your collaborators are 3 hours behind THAT is maybe the worst grant submission planning ever 😵‍💫#whattimeisit

After working on the #Klamath River dams and water quality issues for my PhD over 10 years ago, it’s been quite emotional to see this finally approved. A big win for rivers today #FreetheKlamath reuters.com/world/us/save-…

Maybe Air Canada at YVR should put someone in charge of actually managing the line for rebookings? No one helping coordinate, 100s of people stranded, line is 5 hrs long. 1/2

2/2 Air Canada YVR you know this travel disaster is going down and you put TWO staff on the desk to manage rebooking. The worst management I’ve ever seen. Clearly you don’t give a shit about any of your customers. #worstairport #worstairline #changemymind

Today, let’s celebrate this victory. Thank you, EPA for looking out for water, salmon, and the ecosystems that depend on them. Let’s hold that line, no matter what Pebble and the Gov of AK bring. #salmonforeverpebblenever kdlg.org/pebble-mine/20…

Sandhill crane tornado. A cranedo? Definitely listen with sound ON 🔉 #sandhillcranes #migration #gonorth

Anyone I know headed to #ASLO2023 in Palma de Mallorca next week?! Let’s hang out!

Donastia - San Sebastián, Spain Haven’t been here in ~10 years and it’s still lovely as ever. En route to #ASLO2023

If civilisation is to survive, whatever system comes next needs to be adaptive & constantly evolving. The new normal will be that there is no normal.

Two days ago a deer attacked my dog ON our front porch and then held us hostage in our house until this morning when we saw her leave the yard with two new baby fawns… she had just about worn out her welcome, but I’m sure she wasn’t crazy about us either! #crazymoms

River flow dropping, temp rising, glacial ice exposed too early in the season, and wildfires literally popping up all around us. Interesting backdrop for our #climatechange river network temp study and impacts on #salmon.

Summer field season winding down! #limnology #aquaticecology #biogeochemistry #fieldwerk
