Passed my doc exam last week 🎉 Officially a PhD candidate!

Very grateful for the support of my advisors in reaching this first step. Ready to take on another few years of research adventures & continue to dig into #saltmarsh #ecogeomorphic #evolution in Canada!

Capturing seasonal change at our saltmarsh site: July ➡️ October

Great indication that we need to be considering #seasonalvariation in #saltmarsh properties when modeling these systems!

[Acacia Markov @AcaciaMarkov]

Lots of #sedimentation measured at our #saltmarsh site over the last month! It almost claimed one of our #minibuoy instruments…

Are coastal vacations ever just a vacation when you work in #CoastalResearch ? 😅

[Acacia Markov @AcaciaMarkov]

Recently spent a week in les Îles de la Madeleine (Magdalen Islands) - perfect vacation for a coastal nerd like myself 🌊

Endless #dunesystems, #saltmarshes, bluffs & pocket beaches… and problematically, erosion. Many opportunities for #coastaladaptation research I’m sure!

Presented some findings from our vegetated dyke model this morning at the #iahrWorldCongress in Vienna!

Sparked great discussion on the importance of #ecological considerations in #coastal #NbS design & the complexities of modeling living systems.

Made it to Vienna! Who else will be attending the #IAHRworldcongress this week?

Looking forward to a great program!

Another trip to the marsh this week! It seems the geese like the site as much as we do 🤔

When you cross #filmphotography with #coastalfieldwork , it will probably end with your camera in the water…
And some very *creative* shots of the field crew 🥲

In the field this week! First time at my Phd field site - not a bad place to spend some time over the next few years 🤩

At this site we’ll be monitoring #Saltmarsh #EcoGeomorphic evolution 🌱💧 stay tuned for more photos from the field!

[Acacia Markov @AcaciaMarkov]

@BeutelBecca That’s a nice looking marsh! Next time I visit we’ll take a field trip

Team work in the large wave flume today @inrsciences! Planting ~7,000 saltmarsh plants in preparation for wave testing later this summer - the project of a fellow PhD student in my lab 🌱 #NatureBasedSolutions #WaveVegetationInteractions #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Bringing back my academic twitter account! Updates:
MASc done @uOttawa ✅
PhD started at @inrsciences in Québec City 📚

[Acacia Markov @AcaciaMarkov]

First oral presentation at an international conference
✅ What a great experience!! Looking forward to the next #IAHRWorldCongress !
