Research-focused post on climate change & autumn wildfire risk in California, based on recent work led by Michael Goss (iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…). We find that climate change has already more than doubled autumn extreme fire weather days... #CAwx #CAfire weatherwest.com/archives/7550

@HelbigManuel IOP Environment AmeriFlux Global Water Futures @BWF_BorealWater How cool are peatlands? This cool: dal.ca/news/2020/10/1…

Highly recommended viewing for all scientists, but especially those of us in the climate change research world...

Check out Junior Tremblay's thread summarizing our landscape change simulation work focused on BAM Project in NE Alberta and W Québec. Great presentation at today's Climate Change and Birds virtual conference #BOUsci20.

Compelling evidence for drought-mediated forest transitions resulting from anthropogenic #climatechange. Meta-analysis led by Enric Batllori and featuring Natural Resources's CIPHA data analyzed by Mike Michaelian and colleagues.

New paper from ACE! PhD student Michelle Knaggs published her master's work, looking at the effects of wildfire severity on songbirds in boreal Alberta. Read the full paper here: mdpi.com/1999-4907/11/1…

Super useful product, also featuring work by NoFC's @EllWhitman, @parisien_marc, and Rob Skakun Natural Resources (see download at tinyurl.com/y9fpgu2n)

Fabulous opportunity to do conservation-relevant research with a dynamic group of scientists

#Nightjar alert! The first paper of our continent-wide tracking study on Common Nighthawks is out in Ecography Comprehensive estimation of spatial and temporal #MigratoryConnectivity across the annual cycle to direct conservation efforts onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… 1/n

Pleased to have had the opportunity to contribute to this important exercise led so impressively by Rachel Buxton (she/her). The tweet thread provides a great summary.

Just out: our new paper affirming the unprecedented slowdown of the Gulf Stream System (aka Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, 𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗖) in Nature Geoscience! Nature Geoscience A thread. 1/11

Just out @ Global Change Biology We map areas in US/Canada where new protected areas can help defend biodiversity from climate change & slow increase in greenhouse gases by sequestering carbon in forests, grasslands & peatlands 1/8 pdf@ osf.io/preprints/soca… doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15…

Interested in learning more about climate refugia and ecosystem carbon in your watershed or local protected area (anywhere in North America)? Check out this web app developed by Justin Beckers of Natural Resources: adaptwest.shinyapps.io/climate-resili…

Users of AdaptWest climate data: We are currently updating future climate rasters to CMIP6 GCM projections. Let us know in the comments or by DM if you prefer: geotiff or netcdf format? which SSPs (126, 245, 370 and/or 585)? 20-year or 30-year multidecadal averages?

Our new #openaccess paper in Global Change Biology describes the range of policy pathways to fulfill the #protect30x30 vision that the Biden administration described in today's report ( doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/… ) , as well as the science which can inform the effort.

Newly available: 1km-resolution climate rasters for North America downscaled from CMIP6 projections using the Climate NA software (climatena.ca). Data available from 9 GCMs and an ensemble for 48 monthly & 33 bioclimatic variables. adaptwest.databasin.org/pages/adaptwes…

Kudos to @ChristineKmann for a strong defense and important thesis! Happy to be part of this committee with CFS colleague @EllWhitman and looking forward to seeing this work published.

We are hiring! BAM Project based University of Alberta is looking for a full-time Program Leader to facilitate project management and research delivery. Please RT. More info 👉 bit.ly/ProgramLeaderB…

New research: boreal peatlands help buffer the effects of wildfire in Northern Alberta. This work underscores the importance of conserving #peatlands, which have many other benefits including carbon storage.
