Peat swamps are an enigma. We (Mike Waddington Brian Branfireun and S. Kaufman) dust off ~20yr-old data to help unravel how temperate peat swamp hydrogeomorphic setting impacts water flow and carbon stocks. #PeatPaper doi.org/10.1002/eco.26…
New paper with Kristyn Mayner, Paul Moore, Mike Waddington, and Sophie Wilkinson is out! We explored post-wildfire vegetation recovery in peatland middles and margins, with implications for wildfire vulnerability and carbon storage. #PeatPaper #PeatTwitter doi.org/10.1007/s13157…
Thanks to all who came to our first #PeatMetal webinar & to Peter for kicking us off in style. You can find the recording here bit.ly/3VNwd15. Next up Richard Fewster with an overview of the PIPES: Pollutants In PEatlands from sink to Source 24/04/24. Sign up here peatmetal.com/workshops/ #PeatlandsMatter
A great day for fieldwork in the Georgian Bay Biosphere Mnidoo Gamii. Our NOBEL water observatory is part of the Global Water Futures Observatories. Amalie Kanne Jonas Mortelmans
We're excited to see Bill C-317 pass in the House of Commons! It calls for the establishment of a national flood and drought strategy - GWF researchers have proudly testified in full support of the bill. Francis Scarpaleggia U of Saskatchewan U Calgary the Water Institute parl.ca/LegisInfo/en/b…
We have a new preprint on Earth & Space Science Open Archive mapping peat depth and carbon storage of the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Peat depth increases with increasing distance from the coastline due to ongoing glacial isostatic adjustment since ice retreat began. essopenarchive.org/doi/full/10.22…
Very busy day getting ~35,000 kg of peatland restoration material into our metal contaminated peatland in the Laurentian University - Université Laurentienne Greenspace. We are testing 3 different treatments to figure out what works! #PeatTwitter cbc.ca/news/canada/su…
In the Georgian Bay Biosphere, at-risk turtles nest in shallow soil on #CanadianShield rock. BUT when #wildfire occurs, much of the soil burns off & erodes. Not only does this reduce the number of spots where #turtles can lay eggs, but also affects suitability of remaining nest habitat
I never thought my research would be featured on CBC News: The National but here we are. A huge thank you to my co-lead author Dr. Sutton and co-author Mike Waddington. I want to stress the need to develop strategies to prevent these systems from burning! youtu.be/cXKG2VQ-P08?si…
