@DrLimnology @umontana @GlacierNPS @FLBSUM Really interesting work, congrats! Makes me wonder how the conditions in glacial lakes and their biotic communities transition along a gradient of lake age, from newly formed to primarily snowfed. Time will tell!

My recent review “Glacial stream ecosystems and epilithic algal communities under a warming climate” was selected as Editor’s Choice in Environmental Reviews! Check it out for free here: https://t.co/2IejrQyVeM

Proud of this on-the-fly analogy in an @CNN interview on snow algae and why it's red (or other colors): “I’m very light skinned, I have more struggles with the sun's UV than people with much more pigmented skin–same idea for algae,” Hotaling said.

@JulieAFortin Thanks Julie!! Summer of 2017 feels like forever ago when I started my research journey with you. Can’t wait to read about your PhD work!

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

How do melting glaciers affect algae in alpine streams? Find out tomorrow at 1PM MST when I defend my MSc thesis!!!! Send me an email at [email protected] if you’d like the zoom link for this can’t-miss event 🚨🚨🚨

[Scott Hotaling @MtnScience]

.@KarsonSudlow reminding us that algae in the cryosphere are super important but understudied, particularly in cryo-influenced freshwaters. #aslo23

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

If you can’t make it, I’ll be giving a similar talk at my thesis defence next week!!!! Reach out if you’d like the zoom link

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

ASLO friends! If glaciers, streams, and/or algae interest you, come to my talk tomorrow at 3:15 in Sala Protixol 1. Hope to see you there

Wrote a short blog about algae in glacial streams for the Alpine Club of Canada. I was fortunate to receive research support from the ACC’S Environment Fund. If you’re passionate about mountain biodiversity, please considering donating!!! @alpineclubcan

Interested in learning more? @KarsonSudlow has got you covered via this NEW paper in @cdnsciencepub Environmental Reviews ➡️ https://t.co/hJfBLq2eB4

@Graham_McDowell Thanks, Graham!! We ♥️ Canadian mountains

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

If you're curious about glaciers, mountain streams, or algae, wow do I have the review for you! Just published in Environmental Reviews, we discuss how disappearing glaciers affect algal communities in alpine streams. Enjoy! @cdnsciencepub

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

@MtnScience @cdnsciencepub Thanks, Scott. And likewise! Definately got some inspo from all your great review articles!

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

Lastly, if you need even more convincing why algae are awesome, go read @ljevanso great story on glacial stream ecosystems. Check it! https://t.co/BXqnrVA5Yc

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. And a big shout out to @simonnetremblay for all her help putting this together.

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

Excited to have played a small role in this piece alongside some all-star alpine stream scientists. Shouts out to @ljevanso for the great story and for letting me drag her up a few mountains. Check it out, y'all!

[Knowable Magazine @KnowableMag]

Salmon go where stream conditions are right — and as the ideal rivers lie increasingly out of legally-protected areas, Indigenous communities look to keep the new habitats from harm. https://t.co/v5lo2vdJU3

[Karson Sudlow @KarsonSudlow]

Happy to have help out in this! Check it out. Better yet, take action to help protect glaciers and the biodiversity that relies on them!!!

[Protect Our Winters Canada @protectwintersc]

🔥Hot Topic: Glacier Melt.
Read our latest blog featuring Ice-Core Scientist Dr. Alison Criscitiello, and Karson Sudlow, a Master’s of Science student studying glacier loss and alpine stream ecosystems.

There is hope, but we need to act fast.

New preprint from our Teton alpine stream work! Led by @AquaJorg (and advised by @eco_scollins), we take a deep-dive into who is eating who in high alpine streams. Turns out that in addition to hydrologic influence, trophic flexibility is a big deal!

@MtnScience @AquaJorg @eco_scollins Always humbled by the resilience of benthic communities in alpine streams. Make the best of the limited resources you have. Inspiring! Thanks for the great work @AquaJorg and Co.!
