Stoked to have contributed to the ACC's winter gazette this year with an article about our trip to the Tonquin Valley this past August examining impacts of climate change in the region. Take a read if you're interested 👇

Travelling for conferences = visiting some spectacular climbing gyms. I guess cities aren't all bad!

Very inspired by this panel this morning!

Parks and nature are essential to human health…but we need healthy ecosystems for all to thrive. Thanks to Catherine Reining for talking about #hphp BC Protected Areas Research Forum BC Parks Foundation Dr. Melissa Lem @ultravioletprof CPCIL

Friends - esp. Dr. Melissa Lem - there’s some great related convo happening at #BCPARF2022 (catalyzed ATM by a great preso from Catherine Reining) and folx are looking to connect the dots (eg Neha w/ University Health Network would love to connect, ML). Might we redux a #PaRx #healthybynature gathering…?

Beautiful way to end a great few days listening, learning, and connecting with some inspiring and like-minded people at BC Protected Areas Research Forum. #BCPARF2022

BREAKING: Steven Guilbeault just announced at our panel presentation that there will be legal accountability to Canada's biodiversity targets. "I believe, as we did for climate change, an accountability act to enshrine our 2030 nature targets in law is required."

Had a blast presenting on a passion project of mine capturing the intricate perspectives of Canadian mountain guides (ACMG) on climate changes impacts in the mountain landscape and the state of adaptation at BC Protected Areas Research Forum. A full manuscript should be available soon!

Family: So what is your PhD on?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Me: Well, my degree will be X, but my program is Y. Oh, and my discipline is Z, but each supervisor has a different focus. So, my research looks at A, B, and C.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Them:⁣ ⁣ #PhDLife #PhDVoice #AcademicChatter #MerryChristmas

If you cannot explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it.

Nice to see our research on the impacts of climate change for ice climbing discussed in this New York Times article Mountain Research Initiative @mtnresearchmri.bsky #OurChangingMountains UIAA American Alpine Club nytimes.com/2022/12/25/opi…

It was really interesting wrapping up the last three lines of the season this past spring in Canada and continually having a theme of "these lines are changing" in those last three episodes. There was a lot of annoyance in the YT comments about mentionin… instagr.am/p/ConRwOsv2fb/

Thrilled to have spent the last 3 days at the beautiful Banff Centre connecting with inspiring people and learning more about purposeful travel. Looking forward to the 2nd annual Purposeful Travel Summit at this time next year! #purposefultravelsummit

Inspiring responsible and purposeful travel offerings out of Hawaii! It would be great to see offerings like this more mainstreamed across destinations. theglobeandmail.com/amp/life/trave…

I’m excited to share this study, which presents the first research in Canada to capture the intricate knowledge of mountain guides in Canada on changes in the mountain landscape, including strategies to adapt to climate change. ACMG tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I am thrilled to share the film 'Freeze/Thaw' based on our research examining the implications of climate change for ice climbing.
