Cheers to all that I met at the WI AWRA meeting over the past couple days! I had a nice time and enjoyed sharing my reconstruction of European settlement, agriculture, and aquatic productivity using Gass Lake sediment chemistry (near Manitowoc, WI).
A pint glass with WI AWRA 50th anniversary printed on it.

Just finished the last lecture of my first year at UW-W! Feeling excited for a short break before digging into some research over the summer.

1/2 I'm sad to say that I have joined the ranks of many US scientists who have been impacted by NSF grants being rescinded. A few faculty at UWW were a part of the C-Change cohort, which aimed to build collaborations across universities to improve student experiences in the geosciences.

The @ncse.bsky.social has a new climate podcast, Safeguarding Sound Science! The first two episodes are interviews with @michaelemann.bsky.social and @naomioreskes.bsky.social on climate denial. Check it out -- NCSE is also a fantastic organization. Their mission is more important than ever.

I’m thinking we should spread this news about the firings at NOAA as far and wide as possible. Like cancer research, weather forecasting seems likely to be broadly popular across the political spectrum. apnews.com/article/nati...

Sad to be missing out on AGU this year! To try and feel connected, I'm sharing the manuscript associated with my talk last year that was published recently. Aquatic moss δ18O as a proxy for seasonally resolved lake water δ18O, northwest Greenland (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...). /1

Our group has lots on tap for #AGU24! Past big shifts in temperature, lake level, anoxia. Close looks at several water isotope methods. News from Greenland, New England, & the Midwest. A rundown:

As the end of my first semester teaching wraps up, I'm wondering if anyone on here has advice for increasing course evaluation response rate? I'm at around a 50% response rate across my three courses after giving some time in class to complete them. #edusky #teachlearnsky
