Anyone know a student looking for a fully-funded ($25k/year + tuition waiver) master's degree focused on community-based environmental research? Tell them to apply to the CSAW program here at Georgia State! For more info on applying, see: geosciences.gsu.edu/csaw/applica... #geosky

I should say that I am also particularly interested in recruiting a student with experience and interest in critical/community-based GIS to help me get a community mapping lab up and running here in Atlanta! If you know someone who might be interested, have them get in touch! #geosky

Life advice from my hunter ed course.

Made a UW-Madison Archives request for the holy grail of Muskegon River 1857 engineering plans just before Christmas break, and now I’m refreshing my email every five minutes like I’m on this job market. JUST SEND ME THE SCAN ALREADY! This is killing me.

“GRADES ARE IN”

Early Christmas gift for the muskrat appreciation society! (The video is way better, but Bluesky won’t let me post that!)

"Project Report SUBMITTED for Award Number 2009353" Aaaaahhhhhhhhh. 🥰 Okay, now grades.

Sphagnum galore in Dartmoor yesterday

DR. CHASE PRAIRIE y’all!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Couldn’t be prouder of Dr. Liz Anna Kozik. Photo’s blurry cause we’re vibrating on a higher frequency. @chaseprairie.bsky.social

My parents and kids and I went to a rodeo in west Michigan a few years back, and when we were leaving my Dad looked me dead in the eye and said, “You know what this means?? For the rest of our lives we get to say, ‘This ain’t my first rodeo!’” I laugh about that moment at least once a week.

Giving Bluesky another shot! Anyone out there in #geosky have experience mapping PLSS notes? Would love to hear what you’re up to!

@thetreecorener.bsky.social are you good with PLSS notes? after a wonderful consult with Joe Mason today would love another gut check on something Michigan-related

Happy Beaver Moon to all who celebrate! 🦫🌕

Kentucky is gorgeous.

Just launched into a new set of oral histories on a restoration project in West Michigan. Someone today described the river as special because it’s “part dirtbag, part sacred,” and I really hope that’s written on my grave stone.

For the Science History Institute, I wrote about 97 yo poppy and how black folks in diaspora stay connected to the ocean and each other. I hope it brings some joy (and a whole range of emotions) to readers in these difficult days. www.sciencehistory.org/stories/maga...

Great work. Read it! 👇

Greetings from Michigan!

Nobody has more fun professoring than I do. Beaver field trip in the books! 🦫

No literally the dog just ate my homework.

Supposedly he’s a bird dog but definitely he’s a beaver dog.

Dams seminar is switching from concrete ⚒️ to beavers 🦫 today, so here I am dressed in my “middle-aged lady obsessed with beaver dams” costume! 🎃

Prepping for winter.

And… it’s snowing. ❄️

I was watching this documentary about black holes and it said that if you went into one you’d eventually “fall out of existence” and I’m sorry, but what the fuck,?!

Good morning Lake Superior! Calm now but November gales around the corner.

Good morning and happy beaverscape!

Today’s watery beaver scape. Manoomin extravaganza.

More beavery awesomeness on this dreary fall morning.

Saw so much spectacular beaver infrastructure last week. Going to share it here slowly to sustain me through the week ahead. 🦫🤎

First archival visit in the books! Drove 1000 miles to find three priceless photos and a hand drawn map. 🙌🏽 God bless folks who meticulously add captions to the back of their photos. You are the real heroes!

Hello good morning from the land of happy puppies, happy sphagnum, and happy beavers.
