PhD student @UTKnoxville Tree Ring Lab ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ researching climate and peatlands, queering tree chronologies, and making art in between. they/them
Itโs #WorldWetlandsDay, which means itโs 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 yโall ๐๐ฒ๐จ

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 โblast that landscape!โ with such incredible artists and thinkers. More on trans field note methods coming soon . . . ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ ๐ณ๐๐ฅ๐
๐ข our counter/cartographies issue just dropped! ๐ข Read it for free (https://t.co/jROJVf9BJT) or buy a print copy (https://t.co/9JjFY8zyAj)! 250+ pages of dope creative work challenging dominant imaginaries, representations & practices of space w/ contributors from around the ๐
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.
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 ๐ฒs give us a warning of potential earthquake scenarios for the heavily populated region.
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 thereโฆ)! ๐ฅฒ Happy #TreeRingTuesday, yโall ๐ฒ๐๐ซถ
