First paper from my postdoc is out in WRR with open access! We explored how contrasting watershed features influence NO3 and DOC transport and transformation in an agricultural watershed agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🧪 The NSF director is lying to you. Let’s fact check 7 claims from yesterday’s letter to the community, while pointing out 3 critical omissions. 🧵

If they are really cancelling NSF REUs, then we need to change graduate admissions to exclude or minimize the importance of past research experience. There's just no way to compete unless you are well connected or monied otherwise.

if you’re 25 years old with control of the entire treasury system and you don’t delete every student debt file, you are the biggest loser the world has ever seen

Absolutely fucked up beyond all recognition. NSF has an insanely low administrative overhead. Laying off staff saves nothing and the cost to our leadership in scientific advancement (with massive public and business implications) will be long-lived and dire.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

There's a postdoc in peatland biogeochemistry advertised on our project by Dolly Kothawala and Gustaf Granath at Uppsala University. I can highly recommend Uppsala as a place to live and work. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Watching in real time how the policy of complying in advance actually reduces scientific productivity

I'm very sad that "I have a paper on this" continues Funding delays of > 30 days lead to, after 5 years: - 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force (constrained among those born in the US) - 20% decrease in wages - Burden is born by postdocs, grad students, and staff

Really appreciate Jonathan Lambert pointing out that NSF grants are congressionally mandated to weigh how grants broaden participation in science, putting the administration's executive order against DEIA in conflict with, and potentially undermining, congressional legislation

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"

🚨PIs of Training Grants and Programs, ESPECIALLY training grants that support students from historically excluded groups (T32s and T34s, IMSD, MARC, PREP, MOSAIC, etc.)🚨 We need to push back on the loss of information and the disappearance of websites about these resources.

I'm hiring, two fully funded PhD positions! Come work in Umeå in Arctic Sweden, a leading place for high-latitude ecosystem ecology and carbon biogeochemistry

So excited to have this paper from my dissertation out! We explored shifts in the interactive effects of climate, deposition, and watershed properties in driving lake DOC over the past 40 years. Open access ⬇️ link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Rather than "dreaming of a white Christmas" 🎄 we at the GMC are "Dreaming of a wet peatland" (or many) That's why we ring the bells for new peatland job announcements - 21 in total. If they were gifts, they would pile up under the Christmas tree!

Caught helping @cheristyjones.bsky.social polish her first talk at #AGU24 - lab membership comes & goes but lab mates are forever 😌🤓 (or something like that!) 📸 @aquaticallison.bsky.social

If you have undergrads seeking an REU experience, I have 2 potential projects listed for the Stanford SURGE REU! Seeking students eager to gain more lab & data analysis/viz skills while thinking about GHGs, land use, & tropical wetlands! Apps due Jan 12. sustainability.stanford.edu/our-communit...

Happy to share this paper led by @carlalopezpr.bsky.social assessing drivers of #CO2 & #CH4 in headwater #wetlands! Recently published #OA in #Ecosystems: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #wetland #biogeochemistry #carbon #water #DelmarvaDisco 💧🧪🌎👩‍🔬

One of my big post-PhD goals was to read for fun again. 2024 was the second year in a row I read 30+ books! Mostly on public transit (thanks BART & Caltrain!) & a bit on flights. Consider this my call for your favorite books for my 2025 TBR! Some of my 2024 favorites (in no particular order) 🧵:

Excited to share work on CO2 controls and sources in some very cool hydrologically dynamic wetlands! Learn more at my poster (#1498) in tomorrow, Thursday's morning session! I will be there from 8:30am-12:30pm! #AGU24

I am soon recruiting two PhDs and a postdoc, to work on carbon, methane, metabolism in arctic stream networks. Glad to chat potential opportunities during #AGU24 @agu.org ! There is also soon another postdoc position on oxygen responses to peatland restoration with @ryansponseller.bsky.social ⬇️

"...fieldwork can be expensive, and its outputs are less likely to be published in high-impact journals and generally receive fewer citations compared with desk-based meta-analyses and syntheses." In search of a sustainable approach to academic fieldwork. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

PEAT are supporting Dr Cat Moody's NERC Fellowship Research 💧🌱🔍 Her work will compare pools created during restoration with natural pools and ponds. To make this a global study, Cat is asking #PeatECR to send her water samples. #PeatBsky 🧪📨 1/2

This is my "I'll be at #AGU24" post! Join us Thursday in sessions B41J and B44B for lots of great work on #methane cycling and emissions across ecosystems 🫧🦠 For the long-haulers, I'll be talking about this #peatland paper on Friday afternoon 💧🌴 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Ecosystem restoration is likely to become mainstream in the near future." Here is a report of well-replicated long-term before-after control-impact experiments on the restoration of forestry-drained boreal peatland ecosystems. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Interested in greenhouse gas emissions? Do you like mountains? Then come do an ACCE DTP PhD supervised by me, and colleagues at Liverpool and UKCEH. "Mountain lakes as sentinels of change: linking nitrogen deposition rates to GHG emissions." www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

I will match @peatofmind.bsky.social generous donation to the @peatlandecr.bsky.social with a comparable amount in € (350). I challenge other peatlanders with means to do the same. We all know how hard it can be as an ECR and we as a community can support the next generation.

Fen-tastic!!! 🎉 We are honored and grateful to receive the #NobelPeatPrize once again 🏆 It's been a pleasure to provide some support to #PeatECR for another year! 📣 We are looking for new faces to continue this work in the future. Thank you to all the peatfolks out there supporting us! 🙏 #PeatSky

🚨Reminder: we have a zoom webinar from @wetland-ghg.bsky.social next Wednesday 27th November at 3pm UK time on the @can-peat.bsky.social project - Canada’s #peatlands as nature-based climate solutions You can register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi... #PeatSky

Global mapping suggests that agriculture is the biggest source of peatland loss in Canada, but what do we really know about the area and potential GHG emissions? New review paper with Kelly Bona, Ph.D. and Chang Liang wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/EJN7C6...

ICYMI - our new paper reports a systematic review of the cultural ecosystem services provided by wetlands: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k0257szSJ... 🌍 🧪 🦤

Next week, I'll be giving a talk on The Specific Context of Peatland Restoration in Canada: Insights from Recent Research for the International Peatlands Society, along with 4 PhD students. Date: November 26 📆 Time: 8:00-9:00 EST (Canada) ⏲️ peatlands.org/event/ips-we... Contact me for a link!

I’m pleased to announce the winner of our first 2024 Nobel Peat Prize! @peatlandecr.bsky.social wins for top peatland outreach/network organization! I will donate $500 ($1/Gt C stored in northern peatlands) to their PEAT NEEDS fund. Another #NobelPeatPrize winner announced next Thursday.

Great PhD defense today by Alex Hedgepeth from UCLA! Many unique insights into peatland carbon cycling, especially in tropical peatlands! 🌴 Check out her pre-print using radiocarbon and NMR in neotropical peatlands to determine sources of carbon emissions: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Boosting a recent collaborative paper now that more of #peattwitter has migrated over here: Led by collaborators at Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara, we found that raising the water table by 10 cm in oil palm plantations reduced CO2 emissions from peat decomposition by >30%! 🌴🦠💧
