Happy #WorldPeatlandsDay!

That feeling when your nerdy ecohydrology knowledge of both Newtonian mechanics and peatland vegetation combine to solve the Saturday NYT connections puzzle in record time 🤓

I’m visiting the SLU Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment in Uppsala today and saw this on a bookshelf. The dept is home to our 2024 and 2025 #NobelPeatPrize laureates. #peatland

that’s better #NobelPeatPrize

Earlier this week I gave a seminar on #peatland #wildfire and led a workshop on peatland #ecohydrology at the SLU Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment in Uppsala. Six! #NobelPeatPrize laureates (incl the legendary Håkan Rydin) attended. We had great peaty discussions and I learned so much.

Hey #EGU26! Got Peat? The McMaster Ecohydrology Lab has a talk and poster in the HS10.3 Peatland hydrology session on Friday. #PeatSky #peatlands #ecohydrology #resilience #earlywarningsignals Join us for a discussion on early warning signals in peatland ecosystems at poster A.64

Official #NobelPeatPrize award winner display signs sent to Sweden.

and also check out Emma Wegener's (Guelph) poster A.63 on peatland hydrology, wildfire, and smoke that members of our lab contributed to. #peatland #wildfire #smoke #EGU26

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
