Super impressed with the calibre of research posters and presentations at the @sfu.ca Undergraduate Research Symposium! It made judging very difficult 😅

How many times a day is it acceptable to check in on a manuscript to see if it has made it past the editor and gone to review? Asking for a friend. 👀

Awesome opportunity for postdocs to apply for funding to be the lead PI on a small research project grant! 🌱

Ryan (and me) are hiring a PhD student! Sweden is a great country to do a PhD, see the link or ask us for more details, or share with potential students!

We are hiring an Assistant or Associate Professor in Indigenous Environmental Governance and Management. Very excited for this position. Please circulate widely among your networks: www.sfu.ca/rem/about/em... #academia #HigherEd #AcademicSky

SFU folks, I’m giving a seminar on Wed Feb 25 about GHGs in human-impacted freshwaters. More details here: www.sfu.ca/evsc/news-ev...

Our new ditch GHG paper now online in final view. A great team effort led by @tksilver.bsky.social with contributions from an all-star cast of supporting authors. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

📣New PhD studentship 📣 We're advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the 'Cultural ecosystem services of dry riverbeds in rural landscapes'. To view the project, please see www.keele.ac.uk/surf/current... Deadline is the 23rd March 2026. Open to UK and international students.

Very excited that this paper has now been accepted! It was great to collaborate with this bunch of bright and thoughtful scientists. I think we managed to fit a lot of ideas about ditch GHG accounting and mitigation in a short perspective! 🤗 Stoked to share it soon!

Putting greenhouse gas emissions numbers into context can be hard. The numbers are large, unfamiliar, and not intuitive. That's why Project Drawdown and a team at the University of San Francisco collaborated to create a new web tool -- Carbon in Context. www.carbonincontext.com

Peaty people: we're hosting a special issue in the Taylor & Francis journal Sustainable Environment. Do consider submitting to it - the scope is broad and multidisciplinary. think.taylorandfrancis.com/article_coll...

I had the best time talking about stream ecology to a grade 4 class last week with @skypeascientist.bsky.social 👩‍🔬🐟💦 Their curiosity and enthusiasm was truly infectious 🥹

Interesting day of presentations and discussions between scientists and managers at Aquatic Research Cooperative #ARC Research Day!

Nostalgic visit to my MSc alma mater UBC this week @forestry.ubc.ca 🌲

Beautiful few days in the British Columbia Coast Mountains for some fieldwork. We were taking down a long-term warming experiment for the winter. Already looking forward to coming back in the spring/summer! 🏔️🛶🥾

Just submitted our collaborative perspective piece! 🎉 It‘s all about improving accounting and mitigation of GHG emissions from ditches—sparked by the great presentations and discussions at our ditch symposium! 📈🧪👩‍🔬🌍

First day at SFU today starting a new postdoc position—which was preceded by a weekend of kayaking in the Sechelt Inlet! It’s great to be back in British Columbia! 🥳

Ooh! Very excited to read this! 👏

COP15 of the Ramsar Convention starts today. Here in Canada we have the privilege of being home to a quarter of the world's remaining wetlands. Let's not forget what a treasure they are. theconversation.com/canadian-wet...

If you want to reminisce about some #EGU25 inland water GHG highlights, I wrote a little something for the BG division blog! ✍️

Our article about the local and longitudinal effects of small water impoundments on riverine carbon cycling is out now in River Research and Applications @tdatry.bsky.social @rsarremejane.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Visited some lowland peat ditches in East Anglia with @peatymike.bsky.social to collect CH4 ebullition measurements for the LowlandPeat3 project. Some of the ditches were dry, others covered in duckweed, and we even spotted a fish in one!

A big tour of fenland ditches with @tksilver.bsky.social today for the Defra-funded Lowland Peat 3 project. Samples collected for dissolved GHGs and dissolved organic carbon, and 24hr chambers deployed to capture total CH4 emissions.

No advert out yet, but I will recruiting a 2yr postdoc, start date autumn 2025, at @livunigeog.bsky.social soon. Lowland and upland peatlands, GHGs, DOM and water chemistry. Plenty of fieldwork. Feel free to drop me a DM or email if you might be interested, and please spread the word.

Lovely to be once again back in Uppsala. Visited five rewetted/restored peatlands today to measure aquatic GHG emissions with @laurabaugh94.bsky.social & @tksilver.bsky.social

An excellent few days in Aarhus, Denmark for the Beyond the Surface symposium on inland water greenhouse gas emissions! So many inspiring talks and discussions

Stoked to be kicking off a week of science at EGU in Vienna! #EGU25

The second recipient for the April round of #PeatNeeds is Laura Baugh (laurabaugh94.bsky.social). Laura is interested in GHG fluxes from waterbodies in rewetted peatlands, with a specific focus on methane. 1/2

We went to the #Gambia to evidence how rising salinity in the river is affecting both local communities and the ecosystem, and @milevafilms.bsky.social made a documentary about it. It will be shown for the first time to the public next week at @egu.eu #egu25. Don't miss it if you are there!

A week until EGU25. My group from @livunigeog.bsky.social will be there presenting our peatland research. First up, @tksilver.bsky.social, Monday 15:00, Room 2.23, will be talking about UK lowland peatland management and ditch GHGs. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-...

The Importance of Ditches and Canals in Global Inland Water CO2 and N2O Budgets 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #GHGs #freshwaterecosystems #biogeochemistry @tksilver.bsky.social

Exciting Postdoc opportunity to join this amazing team at TCD Geography working on cutting-edge peatland mapping! www.linkedin.com/posts/johnco...

Our new paper, led by colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, out now in early view. "Agricultural ditches and stream networks are overlooked hotspots of carbon emissions" academic.oup.com/nsr/advance-... @livunigeog.bsky.social

It's Ditchmas Eve! Tonight @tksilver.bsky.social and I will welcome the early arrivals for our symposium happening tomorrow: "Towards net zero: accounting for and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from ditches and canals". Looking forward to lots of ditchey talk. @livunigeog.bsky.social

The global length of ditches is unknown, but these unassuming bodies of water play a significant role in the global climate crisis.

And here's our article with @tksilver.bsky.social about our new paper.

📣 Our new study is out now! The importance of ditches and canals in global inland water CO2 and N2O budgets @globalchangebio.bsky.social @peatymike.bsky.social @jackiewebb.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

More Fenland ditch GHG sampling today with @tksilver.bsky.social for the Defra-funded Lowland Peat Project 3. Lots of mud today, and sadly no "nice" ditches; just bleak & dismal.

A long day in the East Anglian Fens with @tksilver.bsky.social taking samples of ditch greenhouse gases for the Defra-funded Lowland Peat Project 3.

Excited to be able to share this paper soon! Great collaborative effort with an awesome group of co-authors! 🤩
