Successful launch of the Mary Lou in Lake Ontario! Over the next 3 weeks, the Mary Lou will track tagged bloater and Lake trout (plus collect environmental variables) to help understand post-stocking movements. Thanks to @USFWS and @USGS for their efforts and support!
John Pomeroy provided a keynote at #COP29Baku on the issues we face as we move from the International Year for Glaciers' Preservation (2025) to the Decade of Action for the Cryospheric Sciences (2025-2034) @usask_water@CentreForHydro@usask

🌊🌟 Thanks to everyone who joined us to boost collaboration in community-based science! Your insights and energy are inspiring, & it's clear we’re all dedicated to impactful freshwater solutions. Together, we’re building a brighter future for #GreatLakes protection.💧
Successful retrieval! Despite the chilly winds on Lake Ontario, RAEON glider pilot @LydPaulic and @ONresources staff safely brought our glider, GOOT back onboard. We detected lots of fish using @Innovasea new mobile receiver! Excited to look closer at the data!
We're renaming our Slocum glider Daphnia to GOOT in honour of Dr. Chris Vandergoot, who we sadly lost last month. Chris was key in launching our glider program & advancing fish tracking. The SG GOOT is in Lake Ontario, searching for lost tags & testing new tech. We'll miss him 💙
Our slocum glider, Daphnia, is in Lake Ontario for a couple of weeks, conducting acoustic telemetry range testing and searching for lost tags 👀. There's nothing like working in the stunning fall scenery of the Great Lakes! #GreatLakes
Great to see our work on developing an early warning system for Union Water Supply on @CBCNews The National. We're using state-of-the-art equipment to address water quality challenges with @environmentca, and partner institutions. Check out the clip here: https://t.co/ZuleTQed1S
Clear water may look nice, but it's a sign of an unhealthy ecosystem losing species and nutrients. #TVOOriginal "All Too Clear" reveals how invasive quagga mussels devastate the Great Lakes.

Nice highlight of the great work being done lead @RAEON_ and the Union Water authority to keep drinking water safe. Stay tunes for more stories on Great Lakes water quality (hopefully 🤞)

Thrilled to be a part of the discussion on the future of freshwater data in Canada at the National Freshwater Data Strategy Workshop in Burlington this week. Great to see colleagues from @GWFutures and many others!
Our glider pilot, Lydia Paulic attended the Underwater Glider User Group (UG2) workshop in Ann Arbor this week. It was great to have this meeting in the #Greatlakes for the first time, representing GLUGG (Great lakes underwater glider group)!
Mary Lou’s mission in Lake Champlain was cut a little short (small leak 😬), but she still gathered valuable water quality and hydroacoustic data. Proud to be part of the first glider mission in this beautiful lake. Looking forward to the next!
The Lakebed 2030 initiative to map the Great Lakes is seeking to shed light on one of the most significant sources of freshwater in the world https://t.co/Fka9gyZuqK https://t.co/GrnVIehI21 @IJCsharedwaters
The first slocum glider in @lakechamp
is now exploring offshore reefs, collecting crucial water quality and hydroacoustic data. Huge thanks to the team @UVM_RSENR! Safe travels, MaryLou!
