Excited to learn this week that one of three pilot sites for our new @NationalParkFdn project to develop a wetland restoration carbon assessment tool for the @NatlParkService will be Werowocomoco, the 17th century headquarters of the Powhatan Algonquins https://t.co/99X6ZT4poH

To the folks at @harvest. I've been using your software to track hours for staff for over a year. Great product with one glaring exception: if you change the format of a new invoice all past invoices change also. Impossible to use for record keeping. How have you not fixed this?!

Good morning Edmonton!
Looking forward to our workshop today at #WFCC22 debuting the BurnP3 package for Syncrosim

Back from a week of field visits in KY/TN with folks from @USDA_NRCS , @nature_KY and @USGS for a new @ApexRMS project modeling carbon sequestration in restored wetlands. Surprised by how dry wetlands can be along Mississippi. Important lesson to go see what you are modeling!

Milestone! Syncrosim just surpassed the 1000 active users mark today.

Syncrosim has come a long way over the years and has more to go. An easy way to conduct spatial modelling and forecasting

First in-person conference since COVID. Great to see so many familiar (half) faces again in person. Congrats to @ESA_org for pulling off a mandatory masking policy throughout all sessions. Evening mixers... well that's another story!

[ApexRMS @ApexRms]

We had a great time at the joint meeting with @ESA_org & @CSEE_SCEE
Here are the highlights from our time there

That's a wrap! Little under 2 weeks in #kananaskis counting plants, catching butterflies, and hiking mountains for #fieldwork

[ApexRMS @ApexRms]

We're sending a great delegation to the joint @ESA @CSEE_SCEE conference in Montreal this August!

Forecasting landscape change w/ @nature_org, workshop on transitioning to #DataScience, and more!

@CharliePinkerto Do you know where I can find a copy of the slides from today's presentation?

@ishaberry2 @JPSoucy @_MeghanONeill @GBrankston @JWright159 @Kamalraj_ach @VinyasHarish @DrTanyaRossi Thanks again for your herculean efforts on this database! To clarify, you and the Ontario govt. report the same numbers in the end, but yours update a bit sooner so will always be a bit higher each day?

[Isha Berry @ishaberry2]

What does #COVID19 look like in #Canada?

@JPSoucy and I have built an Interactive Daily Dashboard and Case List to keep you up-to-date
