Has anyone seen a resource that compares SRES emissions scenarios (A2, B2) etc to RCP emissions scenarios (RCP4.5, RCP 8.5 etc)? It's tricky comparing older papers to newer papers that use these two different frameworks

@gmitch_ecology Do you know if song sparrows eat dandelion seeds? Or put the fluff in their nests? I was watching them this morning and wondering what they were up to.

Any tips on where to find day of snow melt data for northern Canada 1994-2019? This ORNL dataset using MODIS is good, but it only reaches back to 2001. https://t.co/VZIfwcqli1

@Rhiannon_Kirton I had the same thought and then decided I just wasn't willing to do it. I'm planning to keep working in the wildlife field, but I've essentially written off academia 'cuz I'm not willing to move all over the place. I'm going to make it work somehow. We'll see what happens!

@ottawahealth @InspectionCan Where do I sign up for 2020 bingo?

I think one super inspiring side effect of the pandemic is since southern scientists can't go north to do research, more $$ is being devoted to building capacity of northerners to take charge of northern research. I've heard about plans in the works from both ECCC and ArcticNet.

Calling Inuit interested in research – apply for funding through the new Inuit Nunangat Research Program to make your research idea a reality.

@giholmes91 @AChangingArctic I see the resemblance!

@aande763 Yes, which is why I feel weird that my half-baked mess of a preliminary analysis is buried in there 😅 I figure the archeologists of 2894 will misinterpret it anyways so it's ok

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

What?? I backup the code for my thesis on github. Got a notification this AM that I contributed to the "Arctic Code Vault". Apparently this means my publicly available code was stored in an abandoned coal mine on Svalbard on a roll of film, down the way from the Global Seed Vault

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

I'm trying to figure out how older SRES Climate scenarios A2 and B2 compare to newer SSP Climate scenarios 126, 245, 370, 585. Specifically, which 2 are most similar to A2 and B2. Anyone have any leads on where to find this information?

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

@rolandasteenweg Thanks! I'm planning to use this in a presentation where I'm discussing species distribution modelling. I want to add some historical context about how representations have changed over time

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

I'm trying to find the oldest bird distribution map I can. In my old books, I found one from the 70s. Got any old garage-sale bird guides you'd be willing to check out for me?

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

@RebekahPersad Congrats on finding a masters program! You were still searching the last time I saw you, glad things worked out. So where would I see a flying squirrel?? Are they in Ontario?

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

How can you tell if a paper has had a response paper written about it or a correction has been published? I only ever stumble on them by accident

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

@aande763 @birdingtoronto Amazing, thanks for checking!

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

@lawyer4Earth @ParvatiOfficial @parvati I can't speak for the circumpolar arctic, but in the Canadian Arctic, I'd suggest that you could consult with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami @ITK_CanadaInuit

[Christine Anderson @canderson156]

I stumbled onto the website of @Parvati Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary, and it makes me super uncomfortable that they don't show any indication of interacting with any of the local or indigenous groups who's territory they propose restricting #signMAPS #maybenot?
