On our way to Renous and LSW watersheds to study #lake recovery from DDTs. Map data from Heartz et al. Ecology is hosted by Gov of NB here: https://t.co/7G72ALGQin Map helps us select lakes across DDT gradient which we will groundtruth with sediments @CB_Edge #PowerOfPaleo

The working group is only possible due to support from the excellent Living Data Project at the Canadian Institute of Ecology and Evolution. @CIEEICEE

Interested in legacy effects and ecosystem recovery after broad scale applications of pesticides? Come join our working group!

Great place to work and great colleagues.

Interested developing novel forest management planning tools and applying them to a unique management situation? Anthony Taylor and I are looking for a PhD Student.

On my recent trip to @GLFC_CFS, I had the pleasure of touring the Insect Production and Quarantine Laboratories. The scientists behind rearing these bugs deserve praise for their contributions to pest management and related research throughout Canada. A 🧵about 🐛🪲...

@jeffwhigdon Dave is very active, both leading research projects and publishing. Absolutely fantastic to work with too.

[Chris Edge @CB_Edge]

From 1952-1993 one of the worlds largest aerial pesticide application programs occurred in New Brunswick, Canada. During the program 97% of forested land (6.2 million ha) in New Brunswick was treated. The dataset is now online and open access.

@ottawavalleywx @ciee @CFS_Science_ATL You can find the insecticide application data for Spruce Budworm and a ton of additional information here. https://t.co/Zyau3zkPe4
Herbicide application data (Vegetation management) can be found here https://t.co/JgxNAlOoix

[Chris Edge @CB_Edge]

A fun project that involved fantastic collaborators across two levels of government and academia. The project would not have been possible without help from the @ciee living data project and @CFS_Science_ATL

[Chris Edge @CB_Edge]

The hope is making these data available will help future studies on environmental fate, ecosystem recovery, and legacy effects.

[Chris Edge @CB_Edge]

Amazing and so well deserved

@drtightline 35 is pretty short. The shortest rotation length is probably 40-50 years on crown. There will be a lot of variation though.
