Nature's overnight transformation! 🌧️🦫
Check out the dramatic before-and-after of our research site!
What happened?
Intense rainstorm hit overnight
Two #beaver dams failed simultaneously
Result: Widespread water drainage including drainage of 1.2 km of backed-up stream

What a kickoff to the 2024 field season. 75 cm of snow in the last few days and +10C led to a first for us today -- waders and snowshoes! Check out our field crew selfies 📸🦫🏔️
Experiment time 🌲
Grateful to @ABInnovates & @NSERC_CRSNG for funding @EmilyIreland9 project examining how this peatland and its associated beaver ponds mitigate anticipated increased upland runoff in the early post-harvest years. Thx also to @SprayLkSawmills for collaborating
As of 2000, an estimate for number of beavers in North America was likely somewhere between 9.6 million to 50 million, and is hard to estimate, but that's about to change, says Cherie Westbrook @ecohydro_gal@usask@CentreForHydro

Great job @HarrisonAmanda_ and @EmilyIreland9! These two up and coming researchers presented for the very first time this morning at #CGU23 on the project they’ve collaboratively advanced over the last year. So proud of these 🦫 kits!@CentreForHydro @usask_water@ConserveAlberta

we can disagree on shows, food, music, but as soon as you disagree with me on basic human rights for black people you’re not my friend
