It’s #WorldWetlandsDay, which means it’s the perfect time to share this story from my time @SycLandTrust. Last fall, beavers moved into one of our properties. I made a comic about the big, beautiful ecological changes we witnessed over the following weeks. (1/2) #scicomm #wetland

Beyond thrilled to continue learning w/ trees, peatlands, climate, & fostering creative, transdisciplinary approaches to research w/ @dendrokurnology @UTKGeography this fall! Thanks to so many for their support & encouragement over the years, would not be here w/out y’all 💗🌲🎨

Thinking about these two bald cypress trees that lived around 70,000 years apart from each other. Funky temporalities, arboreal existentialism, and #paleowoodanatomy make for a fine #TreeRingTuesday.

This playshop stole my heart! What a joy to create and reflect and “blast that landscape!” with such incredible artists and thinkers. More on trans field note methods coming soon . . . 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌳📝💥💗

In a new study, researchers found that during the 2021 Brood X cicada emergence, many species of birds altered their diets to feed on this massive resource pulse, markedly altering the dynamics of forest food webs.

Another set of Hawley-Bell oak samples from western Kentucky is ready to go for #dendrochronology #treerings #climate #humanenvironment Excited to see these analyzed as part of an undergrad thesis in @UofLGeo and eventually become part of a growing southeastern tree-ring network.

Super stoked to be involved in this alongside so many fantastic thinkers in queer-trans ecologies! 💗🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌲

I'm not at #PeatConf23 this year - but my poster for 'Tracking the Colour of Peatlands' project is! We have sites confirmed in Finland, Sweden, Wales and Ireland (and hopefully Ecuador!) If you want to take part - please reach out #PeatTwitter

The implications of our study necessitate a re-assessment of seismic risk in the Puget Sound of Washington. The 🌲s give us a warning of potential earthquake scenarios for the heavily populated region.

Such a fun time with this crew and these beautiful trees! Bonus was introducing some ✨honorary #dendrats✨ from @UIgeodynamics to the field!

A few months in the making... & now finally ready: The Anti-Colonial Research Library hosts 400+ open-access articles and books, websites, YouTube videos on practical examples of Indigenous and anti-colonial research methodologies. Use and share widely! https://t.co/vepMw82q0a

This wee lil eastern larch from a peatland along Keweenaw Bay, MI takes us back to at least the 1770s (not including the inevitable missing rings hidden in there…)! 🥲 Happy #TreeRingTuesday, y’all 🌲💍🫶
