Shout out to Melanie Bird and Akshara Withanage who has also been working hard in Peace River, AB to set up studies on well-pad restoration and agricultural impacts to peatland carbon cycling.
Excited to catch up the Canadian geophysical community this week and then back to the field!
Took some time in between to visit one of our southern Ontario swamp sites. @smilingmegs.bsky.social has been monitoring C stocks and fluxes here for their PhD research
Started late April in Manitoba for work on fen restoration. With PhD student Noah Boss and incoming MSc student Hanna Gross, working with Ian Strachan to get the eddy covariance towers back up and running to monitor CO2 and CH4 exchange on restored and natural fen sites.
Last but not least I headed to Bois-des-Bel near Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec to help set up sampling for Yimeng Wang's PhD study. She aims to understand the balance between tree and moss productivity in a restored bog: baseline data for a tree removal study with @mercury-ecohydro.bsky.social
