"Anoxia Begets Anoxia" — now published in Global Change Biology! We analyzed data from >600 lakes to quantify a positive feedback by which bottom-water anoxia begets increasingly severe occurrences of anoxia in following summers. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…

Code Yikes! April 20, 2024: 21.16°C March 1, 2024: 21.17°C

🌍🌡📈 Update: The thermometer now says +1.68 °C

Gaza City this time last year. Now almost completely destroyed. The scale of the loss is beyond comprehension. A crime against humanity in the truest meaning of the words

It's taken a while but we finally got our Pā Kōura (artificial reef) into Lake Ōkaro. We are reintroducing kōura (#crayfish) into the lake now that water quality has improved due to the efforts of BOPRC, iwi & local landowners. FMI fishfutures.co.nz #Cawthron #FishFutures

Why did the freshwater scientist introduce plastics into a lake in NW Ontario? Well, to discover the impact on freshwater lakes, of course... Global National breaks it all down in under three minutes... bit.ly/3yBjUfa

🌍🌡️📈 August 2024 will be the 15th month in a row with temperatures above anything pre-2023! For 2024 not to break 2023, the next 4 months all need to be 0.5°C cooler than last year. Gradual warming is a pipedream. We need to get real about rapid climate change!

The oceans are weirdly hot. Scientists are trying to figure out why "Suspect #1: Pollution from ships is probably part of the answer" I'm not surprised and don't think this is weird. It's what we expected from an aerosol termination shock. And there is more in the pipeline.

Nice to see this study published in NZJMFR. The authors show how a traditional fishing method has multiple applications for #biomonitoring - here the whakaweku (bracken fern bundles) was used to sample stream macroinvertebrate communities Ian Kusabs tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Fish farming at sea has always been an environmental disaster. Putting it on land addresses only some of the issues. We can do without it! (aquaculture for native shellfish and seaweed is the way to go for those looking to make a living) mayonews.ie/news/comment--…

There are summer internships with Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research for tauira Māori in tertiary education. The study with piirairaka (pīwakawaka/fantail) in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton looks cool!

Misinformation regarding species invasions persists, so I feel the need to repost this reminder on occasion.

Our new paper is online at Environmental DNA. We use national stream macroinvertebrate datasets collected using benthic sampling and #eDNA to compare how well each quantifies stream ecosystem health. eDNA works well with the right approach and/or index onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Excited to announce that the third chapter of my PhD thesis has been published 🥳 Paul Franklin Dr Eleanor Gee NIWA The University of Waikato 🎓

This piece is important as it contains a stack of home truths from experts: 1. Burning imported LNG for electricity generation is worse for the climate than coal, even tho Luxon claims the opposite 2. LNG will be more expensive than the long term average price of gas in NZ, on
