Happy #WorldWaterDay! In less than 1 hour, the GWF Young Professionals’s are hosting the FIRST joint (and international) event with GW4 Water Security Alliance! It’s not too late to register for this great networking event💧🇨🇦🇬🇧

To celebrate Earth Day next month we will have a public lecture on COVID's policy lessons for climate change with Dr. Robert O'Brien. Make sure to register for the event here: bit.ly/2Q8eYYr. #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #McMaster #BrighterWorld

Do you enjoy working within nature and want to be part of a community activity? Join us in planting the McMaster Carbon Sink Forest on November 6!🌳 eventbrite.ca/e/join-us-in-p…

A big thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday to plant 250 native trees in McMaster University new carbon sink forest! And don't worry if you missed the event, we will have another one next Spring! #ClimateAction #HamOnt #brighterworld

If you were unable to attend Dr. Adam Fenech's great talk on climate change, "Climate Change: We're Screwed, It's Our Fault, It's Going to Get Worse & There's Nothing We Can Do?", you can now find it online! youtube.com/watch?v=ycAkzp… #ClimateCrisis McMaster Alumni

This interesting article speaks to the idea relating to the research I am a part of with the Mac HydroMet group. With a number of partners, we (McMaster Centre for Climate Change) are currently planting a carbon sink forest in west Hamilton—exciting and rewarding work! inverse.com/science/darwin…

Congratulations to our lab mate Alanna Bodo for the successful defence of her thesis "Integrating Sap Flow and Eddy Covariance Techniques to Understand the Effects of Forest Management on Water Fluxes in a Temperate Red Pine Plantation Forest"!

Congratulations to Mac HydroMet lab and McMaster Centre for Climate Change director Dr. Altaf Arain for (again!) being named in Clarivate's Highly Cited Researchers list!

We have a new paper from our Turkey Point research site which looks at the impact of heat and #drought on #carbon exchange in an age-sequence of temperate pine forests -> rdcu.be/cF16N. #carbonflux #temperateforests #eddycovariance #ecologicalprocesses #mcmaster

Join us on March 29th for a public lecture on Canada’s 2030 GHG emissions target by Department of Geography and Planning's Dr. Danny Harvey! Register for in-person or online attendance at alumni.mcmaster.ca/Climate2023, free parking for in-person attendees. #climatechange #GHGs #HamOnt #mcmaster

New paper out today in Dendrochronologia with colleagues McMaster Centre for Climate Change Mac HydroMet and OMNFR. Tree-ring growth varies with climate and stand density in a red pine plantation forest in the Great Lakes region of North America. authors.elsevier.com/c/1h16K3-~MPoz…

Alexis Polidoro (AlexisMelaPolidoro PhD student McMaster SEES) and Jade Owen (Nunavut Arctic College) led the first demo of the Isirvik research portal ArcticNet on Monday. They’re running another workshop with Peter Pulsifer (DGES) this afternoon in Iqaluit.

NEW PAPER: impacts of spongy moth on forest productivity and carbon in Great Lakes deciduous forests. Results showed a significant reduction in leaf area index (LAI) and gross primary productivity (GPP). link.springer.com/article/10.118… #mcmaster #remotesensing #Sentinel2 #Eddycovariance

I’ll be presenting my CGU Woo Water Lecture titled “The Ecohydrology of Fire Swamps, Wil O’ the Wisp, and Zombie Fires” on Zoom to Leeds Geog. Wed June 12, 1230 BST, 0730 EDT DM me for link! #PeatTwitter #peatlands #wildfire

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…

NEW PAPER: In 2021, a spongy moth infestation severely defoliated a mature oak-dominated #temperateforest turning it from a #carbonsink to a carbon source of about 3.5 tons of carbon per hectare. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #McMaster #Forestry #EddyCovariance #SpongyMoth #LakeErie

NEW PAPER: our colleague Kangyu So from Alemu Gonsamo's Remote Sensing lab has a new paper exploring biochemical and biophysical impacts of variable retention harvesting treatments. #McMaster #EddyCovariance #NaturalClimateSolution #RemoteSensing #Albedo sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

On top of his PhD work, Noah Stegman is helping to restore #McMaster's West Campus. He led a project creating five vernal ponds for amphibians and insects. “I was surprised at how quickly the ponds had started working. They were way ahead of schedule.” dailynews.mcmaster.ca/articles/scien…
