MS student in the Crump lab @OSUCEOAS working with the @ArcticLagoons LTER. Excited about tiny creatures🦠 and big ecosystems 🌊.

@c_bonsell @alinaCO2spera @ArcticLagoons @USLTER We haven't! I will try to find them next time we head out. Sounds much more dignified. Craig will be pleased.

@ErinFJones There should be a category called "busy hanging out with my tiny cute baby and teaching him about stream chemistry".

[Natasha Griffin @natakisgriffin]

It was a pleasure talking with some very thoughtful and resilient @HJA_Live scientists for this story. Thanks to them and best wishes moving forward!

PhD student @natakisgriffin visits Andrews Forest in Oregon (@HJA_Live) after the #HolidayFire ripped through its watersheds, and learns from scientists how fire will effect future research and the forest.

@mysticalnerdjes Looks like that status is from a while ago and everyone has been safely moved by now. https://t.co/kH2Q2BSNaM

@Time2EatTheRich If you aren't on there already, join the PNW animal natural disaster/fire evacuation resource group on Facebook. Many people offering to help transport and shelter animals from evacuated/threatened areas.

Although exposed to the atmosphere for a _very_ long time (~millions of years), some Antarctic soils are uninhabited by microbes. I know, right? Check out our preprint: https://t.co/mAu5HKaSNA @NoahFierer

Whether it's as a scientist, engineer, doctor, estates manager (the list is endless!), If you're Black & have been involved in polar research, please say hi! We want to update the sepia toned image of Polar Explorers!

I wrote about doing science in Antarctica with the @MCM_LTER's Wormherders for the @USLTER road trip blog! Featuring the awesome @frostyworms and @alyssaurousrex. Read it here: https://t.co/fmkqqXgrv0

[Natasha Griffin @natakisgriffin]

Calendar notified me that I was supposed to be out collecting samples on the Beaufort Sea coast today. Happy to be #FlatteningTheCurve and analyzing old data at home, but I sure miss the awesome @ArcticLagoons scientists. Throwback to a midnight trip near Prudhoe Bay last August.

@alyssaurousrex look, it's us being hygienic!

[Ariel Waldman @arielwaldman]

With hand washing being a hot topic I wanted to share this (social) tech from Antarctica.

At McMurdo galley entry, there’s a large communal hand washing station. Faucets operated by foot pedals. Everyone sees everyone washing before entering.

Would be cool to see elsewhere.

It's the perfect morning for a permafrost twitter-tour!

So what is permafrost? Permafrost is frozen ground that remains in a frozen state for multiple years. But it's way more complicated than that. You can be walking on permafrost & not even know it. Image: C.Buddle, McGill

[Ben Abbott @thermokarst]

Our paper about my Twitter namesake just came out! The story is twofold: 1. thermokarst could increase the permafrost climate feedback (PCF) by 50%, and 2. the PCF is relatively small compared to human emissions. Conclusion: reduce human emissions now. https://t.co/eDFDhI0sZH

@biogeoghazi Was this conversation with a certain biogeochemistry professor

[Natasha Griffin @natakisgriffin]

My @OSUCEOAS classmates and I spent #AntarcticaDay working on the Wikipedia page for subglacial lakes. Our edits (featuring many cool microbes) will be published soon!

LIVE in 30 minutes: tune in to hear the otherworldly vocalizations of Weddell seals, broadcast from under the sea ice in McMurdo Sound, #Antarctica. https://t.co/m5RGgpCgqg

[Yale Environment 360 @YaleE360]

Models predict that large parts of the Arctic will cross the acidification threshold as early as 2030. As the corrosive water spreads, it will spill into neighboring regions, where it could impact the ocean food web and threaten important fisheries. https://t.co/Zh6zS1rsI8

[Natasha Griffin @natakisgriffin]

I saved a @newscientist article about the Proterozoic ocean to my citation manager and it was... a bit confused.

[Ben Abbott @thermokarst]

Pleasure working with @ArcticPermafrst and ~70 others on this synthesis. Punchline: permafrost ecosystems lose 630 Tg/yr more carbon in winter than they gain all summer. Winter losses increase 40% for business-as-usual, but 17% if emissions are reduced. https://t.co/qHQTfdGkPS
