#EnvironmentalHistory folks, I'm updating the syllabus for my course, '#OceanHistory: Changing Human Relationships with the Sea' & looking for recommendations for readings- esp new papers, books I may have missed. What have you read (or written) lately that you love? Thanks!

Do you work on environmental history or historical ecology in the Pacific Northwest? Please consider submitting an abstract for our panel at ICEHO next summer. Led by Patrick Hayes, with more information here: nomadit.co.uk/conference/wce… #envhist #historicalecology

I had a fantastic flight this morning with Kenmore Air from Victoria #yyj to Friday Harbor. With the Sydney to Anacortes ferry suspended indefinitely this is a super service. It saved hours of driving and ferry line ups and I got to enjoy these views. A+++ experience, thank you!

I had a great conversation with Michael Hawk (@naturesarchive.bsky.social) about #shiftingbaselines and #historicalecology. Check out the podcast here! podcast.naturesarchive.com/2023/08/28/shi…

New in ICES Oxford Journals Oxford Academic about the recent history of Maine coastal fisheries, the Maine DMR programs that study them, and how state agency scientists are thinking about the climate-driven challenges ahead:tinyurl.com/4dxbchr3

Shifting Baselines affects how we perceive nature and our conservation decisions. Learn about this complex topic in Jumpstart Nature Podcast episode 4! Thanks Loren McClenachan, @aawhipple_phd, Francisco Saavedra Jr, and Ben Goldfarb for telling the story! buff.ly/3FfyNmT

Congratulations to UVic Env Studies PhD student Elias del Valle for winning the @TBuckSuzuki Legacy Bursary Award! You can read more about his work here: bucksuzuki.org/time_to_consid…

Abstract submission and ICES ECR funding for the Oceans Past Initiative conference is extended to 2 Feb! Come join us for what promises to be an exciting meeting in beautiful Cornwall (with optional sea swims, garden lunches, boat and museum trips planned!) University of Exeter CEC @ExeterMarine

Sea otters drive change in West Coast kelp forests, according to 100-year data. New research from Loren McClenachan UniversityOfVictoria featured in today's Science Media Centre newsletter for journalists. journals.plos.org/climate/articl…

Really excited that this paper is published! We used historical kelp surveys from 1912 to assess century-long trends in kelp along the whole California coast. Key result? Otter recovery has helped kelp forests survive #historicalecology #oceanoptimism

A quoi ressemblaient nos océans il y a 100, 1000, 10000 ans ? Dans mon dernier article pour Mediapart , des scientifiques partent sur les traces de cette abondance perdue. Merci Jeremy Jackson, Loren McClenachan, John Waldman, Ana Rodrigues @cefemontpellier mediapart.fr/journal/ecolog…

This an excellent opportunity! CRC is a great program, Victoria is a lovely place to live, and there's lots of exciting things happening with interdisciplinary climate research at UVic. Check it out:

As someone who managed to squeeze 5 years of Norwegian salary paid postdoc and publish like crazy during this time - highly recommend this Postdoc in Environmental Humanities for recent PhDs jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

"Interviews with fishermen can produce historical fish catch data at a tiny fraction of the cost of conventional data,” says #PewMarineFellow Leandro Castello. His new study demonstrates how local ecological knowledge can complement scientific monitoring. pew.org/3TYKKpp

Oh wow, great job alert! -> Marine ecosystems & global change

Great news for grad students and postdocs in Canada!
