In the @GBayBiosphere, 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

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

Our new research just published in @NatureClimate finds that the northern peatland carbon sink is being burned up by wildfire and degradation. Read along for some highlights and find the full paper here: go.nature.com/43Q7U3Z 1/n

McMaster’s NeuroFit lab is recruiting recreationally active young adults for a research study - check out the link below for more information and email [email protected] if interested! bit.ly/3JBKzts
A research recruitment poster that reads: “Recreationally active adults between 18-30 years old wanted for a research study! WHO? 18-30 year-olds currently engaging in 150 minutes - 4.5 hours of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week. Why? To help the NeuroFit lab learn more about how exercise and navigation training can improve brain function. What? One 20-minute online session, and one 2.5-hour session at McMaster University. The session includes cognitive testing, blood draws, and exercising outdoors at a selected intensity, with or without navigation. No experience necessary. How? For study info and eligibility, please click the link in the post or email: recruit.neurofit@gmail.com.” It mentions that, “You will be provided compensation in the form of a gift card for your participation in this research study,” and that “this study has been reviewed by the Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board under project #14560.”

In honour of #WorldPeatlandsDay, I would like to try my first #AMA #AskMeAnything, as long as your question is peat or peatland-related. We're talking about bogs, fens, mires, peatlands, quagmires, moors...all depend on a foundation of thick peat. Ask away!

Happy #WorldWaterDay ! So grateful I get to do fieldwork in cool wetlands like this one, where we spent the day looking for turtles #MacWaterResearch

In 2018 a wildfire burned >11,000 ha of eastern Georgian Bay rock barrens and peatlands landscape. In 2019 we initiated a study to examine the impacts and recovery of the fire. Here is a short film of our research. "Paddle To The Fire" #PeatTwitter youtube.com/watch?v=ve-gbni1…
