Last “hurrah” of the Arctic RIOS project. Bittersweet to be finishing a final field season @Toolik, but a lot of work still ahead to process all the data! 🚁💦🧊🫣

[Dr. Arial Shogren @DrArialShogren]

Interested in Arctic rivers? The RIOS project will be at #AGU22! 🐻🚁

@streamcheminist @Toolik @anna_eichert @streamcheminist A bit upstream of the imnaviat confluence of Kup! 😳

A day in the life of the #RIOS Kuparuk River synoptic sampling team: 1+2) A huge active thermokarst with Pleistocene-age exposed permafrost 😯, 3) the Kuparuk River Aufeis, 4) the lovely @Toolik from 1000ft!

Our #RIOS team has been hard at work this summer studying rivers on the North Slope of Alaska out of @Toolik! Almost 3 months down, one more to go!

[Anna Eichert @anna_eichert]

Hiked into @GatesArcticNPS with the best crew around!! Saw moose, bear, caribou, siksik, and wolf prints!

Brachiopod fossil, the beginning of a thunderegg, and the Atigun River at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

Experiencing an active and massive thermokarst on the north side of the Kuparuk River!!

Day 47 in the Arctic: The #RIOS team has syringe filtered ~400 liters of water, placed over 40 sensors throughout 5 watersheds, and 5/7 team members have already topped their waders. Data not available for number of field Snickers consumed, but can imagine it's embarrassing.

[Amelia Grose @amelia_grose]

all thumbs up for the first 3 weeks of field season!👍👍#RIOS

[Abigail Rec @abigail_rec]

@amelia_grose @anna_eichert @cam_rockland @abbottecology 2/2 thumbs for team #RIOS 👍👍

[Abigail Rec @abigail_rec]

@amelia_grose Aren't we all ultimately just ponded water 🤔

[Amelia Grose @amelia_grose]

Day 62 on the North Slope: forming an alliance with the wasps against the mosquitoes. #RIOS

[Abigail Rec @abigail_rec]

@amelia_grose Nature is ~metal~ 🐝

[Abigail Rec @abigail_rec]

@amelia_grose @cam_rockland Is that a mosquito or a bird??

[Abigail Rec @abigail_rec]

@DrArialShogren Muscle-bob Buffpants is on my vision board 🙏🏼

[Abigail Rec @abigail_rec]

Commemorating 1 month since the first sample of my PhD! About 300 liters of syringe-filtered water samples later, my thumbs now have biceps 💪🏼 #RIOS

@jzarnetskelab @Toolik @DrArialShogren @amelia_grose @portlandia ...We can also pickle some of that! #algaesamplescomingsoon

[Zarnetske Lab @jzarnetskelab]

The Arctic #RIOS crew created this video to immortalize their field season up at @Toolik. Featuring the talents of @DrArialShogren, @abigail_rec, @amelia_grose, and #NoTwitterTanner. (Inspired by @portlandia's "We can pickle that!")

@amelia_grose I raise your 10 mosquitoes to 15 smushed in our Rite in the Rain notebook
