Saw some groundhogs on the Île Sainte-Hélène in Montréal 🇨🇦. Cute little buggers. Ready for #ASLOSIL26 where I‘ll be presenting my project poster on Friday. Come say hi and chat about riparian restoration effects on carbon dynamics in streams!

I recently discovered this incredible creature while on a night walk in the NZ bush. Known as a 'Velvet Worms', this adorable predator immobilises prey with organic glue fired from turrets on its head! Oh... and they are basically unchanged in about 400 million years! #TheWorldBeneathOurFeet 🧪

squinting my eyes, blurring my vision, just looking at coarse silhouettes and values... comparing Synemosyna formica's 🕷️ first leg to Camponotus subbarbatus' 🐜antennae... both seen around 1PM 4/9/26 woods NE Oklahoma (unsure of plant ID - maybe young Verbesina?)

Over thousands of years, the swamps and peatlands in the Congo Basin have accumulated and stored huge amounts of carbon. A research team led by ETH Zurich has now shown that large lakes in this ecosystem are releasing long-buried carbon. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

We are excited to officially share GHG-Depths, a database of depth-resolved CO2 and CH4 concentrations in 522 lakes, ponds, and reservoirs worldwide. Congrats to Joe Rabaey and a huge team of collaborators! @gleonetwork.bsky.social
