Very excited to announce that my first PhD research paper is out! 🎉 We think shallow #peatlands represent #ClimateChange "sentinels" for deeper peats, but we don't know much about their #evapotranspiration (ET) dynamics 🧵 doi.org/10.1002/hyp.70558 @nobel-water.bsky.social #PeatPaper #OpenAccess

Persistent Evapotranspiration in a Shallow Boreal Shield Peatland Despite Summer Drought: Implications for Ecohydrological Resilience
We examine energy balance and evapotranspiration dynamics in a shallow peatland as an analogue for projected climate change impacts in deeper peatlands. Across nine growing seasons, we document simil...

Excited to share that our research group's latest "Survival of the Deepest" paper has been accepted! We outline how strengths of several ecohydrological feedbacks are likely different between #peatlands of different depths, leading to increased vulnerability of shallow systems.

In the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab, we've been studying how #moss transplants can help to kickstart vegetation recovery after a severe #wildfire. @nobel-water.bsky.social @peatofmind.bsky.social #drone

Really enjoying watching Slow Horses, but I hate how often Gary Oldman is shown throwing cigarettes on the ground.... multiple times per episode! 🚯🚭 We need to stop normalizing this #PlasticPollution in media. #SmokingLitter
