Hiring a data/lab manager in my research group! Mostly data “wrangling”, data viz, coding for analysis, lots of learning on the job, coordinating our global data projects with many collaborators, oversight of lab operations. 23 June deadline. Job # 78844 jobs.universityofcalifornia.edu

I was a little surprised to see something less studied than winter limnology! But there it is! Great to work with this team led by Faith Ferrato and the @sapnasharma.bsky.social team

New Opinion article by Ferrato and colleagues: "Autumn as an overlooked opportunity for limnology" journals.plos.org/climate/arti... @sapnasharma.bsky.social @joshculpepper.bsky.social @cearatalbot.bsky.social @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social @sehampton.bsky.social

Today on #World Environment Day, we’re launching 3 FREE courses on water sustainability: i) Climate change impacts on ice; ii) Indigenous relationships to water, and iii) Big data analytics. Enrol here: www.yorku.ca/research/wat... Thank you to all of our contributors for sharing their expertise!

I'm very excited to share that Hacking Limno + DSOS are coming back for the FIFTH time 21-25 July! If you're interested in #machinelearning #remotesensing #modeling #limnology #oceanography, this is for YOU! Registration is FREE + open to ALL! #DSOS25 aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/registration/

New pub in @aguadvances.bsky.social: "A Soil Scientist Goes to Washington: Navigating the Path to National #ScienceLeadership" #STEM Sharing my journey as DOE Office of Science Director, the challenges faced, and why inclusive excellence in STEM matters now more than ever.

Really good to have contributed to this new study, which uses long-term lake data to detect the impacts of storm events on seasonal phytoplankton growth: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #freshwater #lake #algae #ExtremeEvents #Windermere @ukceh.bsky.social

Do you work on lakes globally? Check out what is, to my mind, the most complete global database of lakes (~6M) and associated attributes, newly published in WRR. Also the basis for SWOT lake data. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

What do largemouth bass do under ice in the winter? Read about it here in our latest paper in @cdnsciencepub.bsky.social journal CJFAS. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10....

A reminder that the abstract deadline for the 2025 Physical Processes in Natural waters meeting is next week on Wednesday 26th February! ppnw2025.smithengineering.queensu.ca/abstracts/ This promises to be a great meeting on processes in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and estuaries. ❄️💧🌊🐟🧪

Job: Come work with me! Please repost! We're seeking a faculty colleague whose research, teaching, and outreach focuses on water quality and freshwater ecosystems in the context of climate change. Review of applications will begin April 15, 2025. careers.msu.edu/jobs/assista...

Researchers from UTSC and York University took an ice safety and rescue course to prepare for winter limnology research on Lake Simcoe.

A new study led by @umaine.bsky.social Climate Change Institute Associate Director, Dr. Jasmine Saros, shows significant rapid changes to Greenland lakes 🧪https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2413855122?

Very excited to see some of my PhD work published after much (much) too long! Using mesocosms and controlled ponds, we manipulated ice cover conditions and looked at the corresponding DO, light, and chlorophyll-a regimes. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Registration for Michigan State University Extension's award-winning Introduction to Lakes Online course is open! This six-week online class is designed for anyone interested in gaining a greater appreciation for inland lakes. Come learn about lakes with us! www.canr.msu.edu/courses/intr...

I created a Winter #Limnology starter pack - please let me know if you'd like to be added (or removed)! go.bsky.app/UnKfRfA

Published today: our paper on the ~100 year ice record on Mohonk Lake, a mtn top lake in upstate NY. Ice is forming later, and variability in duration and ice clearance has increased substantially. Notably, recent years have seen intermittent ice cover. bit.ly/mohonkWinter

Reposting for weekend readers: 🧪 🧪 We are hiring a new limnology professor at UQAM! Come join us in the GRIL in Montreal. Posting is below / Nous embauchons un nouveau prof en limnologie à l'UQAM! Rejoignez-vous à nous dans le GRIL 🧪 🧪 --> bio.uqam.ca/wp-content/u... Please re-post.

Interesting new paper on winter limnology-“Shorter Ice Duration and Changing Phenology Influence Under‐Ice Lake Temperature Dynamics” agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Fantastic lecture by @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social today during our Big Data course hosted by the UNITAR Global Water Academy! You can check out Michael’s and all of the other lectures here: www.yorku.ca/research/wat...

As Ice Coverage of Lakes Decreases, Scientists Work to Understand What Happens Under Water in Winter insideclimatenews.org/news/0311202... Grateful to @lydialarsen.bsky.social for this well done article about our research
