Thank you! I'm very excited to be sharing this research publicly. Those are some crazy numbers and better than I expected. As Ben said, I will also be presenting a talk on some expansions to this research Nov. 8 at the CSTHA conference.

Just remembering that Dick Cheney secretly intervened in a dispute over the Klamath River in 2001--and caused the biggest fish die-off in US history, with ~77,000 fully grown adult salmon piled on the banks of the river.

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

We've added a new post to our blog, presenting the second-prize-winning poster from #eseh2025 in Uppsala – Johannes Ellingsen’s visually striking poster investigates the resurgence of heath-burning in Norway. Online here: whitehorsepress.blog/2025/09/30/e... #envhist

Young’s opinion, which rules that the Trump admin illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation, is absolutely scathing. “In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police…ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it.”

If you look back into the @nichecanada.bsky.social & @activehist.bsky.social archive 10-15 years there used to be a strong culture of comment and discussion on the posts, which no longer exists. Wish we would start that up again. #envhist #cdnhist
