Counting tree cores isn’t easy when we burn them while sanding 😖 #EES152

Boring for tree rings at the Experimental Forest! #EES152

Dolphins, rain, and plotting, oh my! #ees152

Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata) perplexed us with its unique trunk. Also, Dom strikes a pose 😄 #ees152

@AvaScally: most important thing learned - the historical perspective of extinctions and everything else in the book #6thextinction #ees028

[Max Urban EES28 @MaxUrban_EES28]

Cody’s most important thing: the “madness” gene, the genetic variation that differs humans from Neanderthals #6thextinction #ees028

[Max Urban EES28 @MaxUrban_EES28]

My most important thing I learned: ocean acidification and the decline of coral reefs :( #6thextinction #ees028

A UN program is attempting to quantify ecosystems and biodiversity's economic worth to nations. This effort could help everyone! #ees028

#rewilding wants to use relative species currently in existence, while #deextinction attempts to revive extinct species of organisms #ees028

[Max Urban EES28 @MaxUrban_EES28]

A problem in restoring these species is that we can't determine a species' niche within their ecosystem from fossil records #ees028

[Max Urban EES28 @MaxUrban_EES28]

Soon after, 60+ megafauna species went extinct "in the blink of an eye" when humans first came to North America. #ees028

[Max Urban EES28 @MaxUrban_EES28]

13,000 years ago, North America had lions, cheetahs, camels, and elephants. It was more biodiverse than Africa #ees028

"Pleistocene Parks" are undergoing #rewilding in order to give visitors a glimpse of life before humans. #ees028 #iceage
