Every June, a small army of volunteers and @nature.org staff walk the San Pedro River for “wet/dry” surface 💧mapping. This year’s effort started out wet (⛈️🌈✨🛻🫣) and ended with a dry reach. (Haven’t pushed a 🛻 out of mud in a while😅) @science.nature.org #WaterResources

You can bet your bottom dollar I know the closest 🍦stop at all my field sites (necessary health&safety precaution in the summer). Spent Monday in a gorgeous Sky Island canyon, and this is the only photo I took that day… #WarpedPriorities #ScienceRunOnIcecream #SkyIslands @science.nature.org

Card-carrying Arizonan day... spent Tuesday doing a fish survey on Sonoita Creek, hanging with all the cutie Longfin dace, Speckled dace, and Desert Suckers. Got visits from a band of curious horses and a gorgeous rattler to top it off. #Conservation @science.nature.org

Phoenix is full of frontline communities in the face of drastic heat waves. This year further underscores the importance of @nature.org work in AZ cities to mitigate heat 😖😩🥵

I’ve pumped in some epic and bizzaro places while doing field work (mountain tops? ✔️cenotes? ✔️ effluent outflow in mid June🥵?✔️) but my solo hike in the Huachucas last week to check on our water monitoring cameras was oddly peaceful and relaxing 🧘🏼‍♀️

Back in 2021, I was trying to make "SUP" dendro a thing for us wetland/coastal investigators. We hypothesize this pond was created by a fault scarp ~200 years ago, drowning the cedars, and changing the landscape of Bainbridge Island, WA! doi.org/10.1130/B383... #DendroDating #TreeHistory

Managing our dry ponderosa pine forests in AZ from high density (left pic) to a🔥safe and💧resources friendly state (right pic- across the road) takes time, creativity, $$$, and perseverance! Our TNC team is doing incredible work near flagstaff to help our 🌲thrive! @nature.org @science.nature.org

Yesterday I had the opportunity to tour the mega restoration project at AZ’s only “working” fen. Peat has been generated here for ~3000 years! The restoration strategy is “stage zero” - bringing the landscape to a level grade and letting the water do the work! #conservation @science.nature.org

Beautiful (and toxic) Copper Creek. This area has been a mining region for decades, and renewed interest in copper has led to continued exploratory drilling today. #conservation #engagement #impairedWaters

Spent a lovely February day hiking through @nature.org Aravaipa Canyon to collect water from warm springs (>26•C). In Arizona, warm water often means OLD water! I’m looking to better understand this incredible system and magical place #hydrology #conservation #desertCanyon

Frosty trees and bluebird skies today as we toured some of @nature.org projects and lands in the upper San Pedro River valley. These recharge projects are helping sustain flows in the river and reduce flood damage across the landscape

Another glorious day in southeastern AZ: at the @nature.org Canelo Hills preserve we are gathering baseline water and ecology data before a controlled 🔥this winter. We’re working on better subsurface moisture measurements to determine the water impacts of this management. #conservationScience

@nature.org ‘s Middle San Pedro River preserve is an active research site where we try to understand the value of conservation practices on a retired agriculture field through space for time approaches. This preserve contains perennial water, old growth bosques, and many critters!

Ah, the gold of San Pedro River Cienegas in autumn 😍. Explored today to ponder what restoration might look like & what is the desired state, and identify challenges to enhancing this wetland for ecosystem. 🍂🌟 @nature.org #restoration #riparian #connectivity #freshwaterResilience

A nice shout out to my PhD work in New England - we worked to find statistical ways to tease apart temperature and moisture signals in coastal wetland trees to improve our climate reconstructions.

Last week I attended @nature.org One Conservancy Science Gathering in CDMX. I left inspired by the breadth of work TNC scientists are pursuing across the Earth, and prompted by @katharinehayhoe.com to migrate to Bluesky! Looking forward to sharing more about conservation science making a difference!

To get a sense of some of the work I do, my most recent paper uses 'witness' and 'victim' trees of two large debris avalanches in Northern California to date the events to be coeval with San Andres and Cascadian Subduction earthquakes. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/art...
