Collective place-based learning at the Johnson Creek Science Symposium (Portland, OR). I presented on ecosystem modeling for prioritizing restoration actions in this unique urban waterway. Hoping for great success for this creek! #urbanecology #streamrestoration #salmonhabitat

Thought provoking paper by colleagues in Nature on managing rivers under an uncertain future- "we call for a fresh global campaign to gather natural history data"... how to get this started, how to keep it going?

[Laura McMullen @LauraEMcM]

@jdtonkin @nature @UCNZ @UCNZscience @UCNZbiology Favorite sentence "we call for a fresh global campaign to gather natural history data..." how can we implement this?

[Laura McMullen @LauraEMcM]

Thoughts on this? I like his bold action statement. https://t.co/HVyY0IiYOE

@streambug So cool!

@streambug @CarriLeRoy Looks awesome, hope I can join y'all one day! Such cool research in a one-of-a-kind location on our planet!

Little coho salmon finding refuge in restored backwater, to eat and grow until it's time to head out to sea. We are supporting restoration prioritization for these and other salmonids utilizing spatially-explicit ecosystem modeling. Grow salmon, then go!

Even when large woody debris and log jams end up not quite where they were 'planned', they can have some great effects for river habitat and rearing fish. Give a river supplies and space, and she will begin to heal.

Guess what? I LOVE my job!!! There are many choices outside of academia for a PhD that can be very fulfilling, including in the private sector #consulting #science #phdjobs #careerfulfillment #ecology #environmentalscience

In addition to being #41, during his Presidency, President George H.W. Bush established 41 national wildlife refuges, conserving over 400,000 acres across the country. An avid outdoorsman he was well known for his love of fishing.

How does an uncertain future make you feel, and how can we make major long-acting management decisions with uncertainty? At the WUCA day 1 Climate Resiliency conference today, we all voiced our concerns... And then learned how to move forward. Take action now!!! #ClimateChange

Monarchs in crisis: The California overwintering population has been reduced to less than 0.5% of its historical size, and has declined by 86% compared to 2017. Learn more, including how to help combat this disturbing trend: https://t.co/RYbgTI8EDg (📸: Xerces / Candace Fallon)

Do you think if folks not yet convinced of climate change were presented information on basics (CO2 effects, water cycle, greenhouse gases), instead of just current effects and future predictions, they would be more likely to accept current climate science and implications?
