This is really a stunning paper. Cyanobacteria exposed to shorter days (in the lab) "rewire" their membrane lipids to anticipate cold weather. When those cells are plunged into cold water, they have "two or three-times higher survival" than cells exposed to longer days.

New paper published in @NatureComms The 2023 fire season in Canada is a wake-up call: severe climate impacts on fire activity are arriving decades earlier than predicted. Building fire-resilient environments is now more critical than ever! @NRCan @CEF_CFR nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Pour l’🩵 des lacs, nous souhaitons vous rappeler d’adopter de bonnes pratiques de nettoyage 🚿 des embarcations ⛵️🚤🚣⛴️et ainsi limiter 🛑 la propagation des espèces aquatiques envahissantes (EAE).

There is a ton of misinformation in my replies so here is a primer on permafrost carbon. Permafrost stores a HUGE amount of carbon because ancient life took up CO2, built biomass, then died. That organic matter (~50% C) slowly accrued in Earth's best freezer for 1000s of yrs. 1/

🐟Traditional Inuit fishing sites are linked to Arctic char habitat use. A fantastic collaboration with fishers allowed to characterize winter habitats.

@NatureClimate widespread oxygen loss in warming rivers in US + Central Europe, at rates higher than oceans but lower than coastal & lakes. Urban rivers warm up fastest; agricultural rivers lose oxygen fastest nature.com/articles/s41558-0… @LiReactiveWater @JiangtaoLiud @BOKU_HyWa

#FactFriday Did you know that graduate students holding a Tricouncil award like #NSERC and #SSHRC can't afford to live in a 1-bedroom apartment in the city they study in. How can we expect researchers to make advances in Science when they can't make rent? 😱 #SupportOurScience

In our paper in @NatureGeosci, we find increasing concentrations of soluble phosphorus across the Great lakes Basin. Greater increases at higher latitudes suggest warming winters to be a potential driver #ClimateChange #waterquality #machinelearning @GWFpubs @LakeFutures

I just want to say, @kevpluck's site seaice.visuals.earth/ is amazing. Please check it out. I use JAXA data and a 1991-2020 baseline for my charts. The anomalies and standard deviations @kevpluck shows are based on NSIDC data with an earlier baseline of 1981-2010.
