Sharing on behalf of my ex-postdoc supervisor Prof Kerri Finlay - two advertisements for graduate student and postdoctoral fellowship positions available at the University of Regina. There are so many amazing research questions within this long-term dataset to work on.

Fantastic Friday news! Our new paper led by @tksilver.bsky.social accepted in Global Change Biology: "The importance of ditches and canals in global inland water CO2 and N2O budgets" An all-star cast of authors including @jackiewebb.bsky.social and many others not (yet) on Blue Sky.

Proud to be a part of the authorship team on this one! Groundwater discharge contributes large amounts of carbon dioxide to coastal ecosystems and warrants inclusion in their carbon budgets. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Teaching Justice in the Geosciences Matters - Eos search.app/ndSTiGbDt7rG... Some good examples here I might steal for my water science courses.

The IPCC should hire the BBC’s graphics team for AR7, at least for the SPM.

Cool opportunity for a biogeoscientist ECR. Please nominate your research students/ friends/ colleagues / heroes!

Lately I've been sketching out my scientific ideas and, just like hand writing, it's incredibly useful. Here, I'm revising an old figure for a new grant. I'm trying to conceptualise an example of time series data I'm proposing to collect to capture N2O source-sink shifts* *Obviously not to scale

Aquatic science folks: Would anyone mind sharing a conference poster that presents some kind of water quality time series data? I'm developing a water science course where students will make a poster on water quality data they collect during the trimester. I would love to provide some examples!

Curious about emissions from aerobic rice? We tracked soil fluxes of CH4, N2O, and CO2 in temperate irrigated aerobic rice. N2O was a big deal and CH4 wasn't The case study is a first for Australia & highlights the need to carefully manage N fertiliser to reduce those “trade-off” N2O emissions.

Warning to environmental scientists! 🧪🦑🌎🐟 The journal STOTEN has been placed on hold by Clarivate, meaning it is under investigation and may lose its indexing (including impact factor). Consider publishing elsewhere. mjl.clarivate.com/search-results

Fellow #water #science peeps: what are the most important topics in water science/resource management that students today need to learn for the future? To start, I'm thinking the increasing reliance on artificial aquatic ecosystems, pressure of climate change, & managing polluted waters. Thoughts?

Beautiful day to be in the thick of it. Taking sediment cores to understand the carbon footprint of this swamp/irrigation recycle storage. So many fish that I tripped over a big one. Autumn is my favourite time to be in the field now that it's not 40C anymore 😅

Interested in floating solar and how it impacts hosting freshwater ecosystems? If so, check out this call for submissions to an upcoming special issue! 🧪💦 www.kmae-journal.org/component/co...

My former postdoc supervisor, Kerri, is seeking graduate students to conduct research in aquatic ecology at the University of Regina, Canada. Projects will involve using Community Based Water Monitoring for recreational and agricultural water use. kerrifinlay.wixsite.com/kerri/contac...

Currently enjoying holiday time back home in NZ and made it a priority to visit Tāne Mahuta - the oldest living kauri tree. Estimated to be over 2000 yrs with a diameter of 4.4m. Being in the presence of such an ancient tree brings some people to tears. I was in absolute awe.

Love this article on fostering scientific thoughts into creative ideas. "Where can you start to boost your scientific creativity? Take a colleague you like out for a coffee and ask them: ‘What is your worst idea?’" Anyone want to be my scientific buddy and hear my bad ideas? 😅

Some more today - an urban canal and a "lake" which is more like a wetland than the wetland site...

Irrigation network sampling underway! Canals-ditches-dams-wetlands, I'm doing it all. Small scoping study to investigate C storage and emissions

After an exciting #PhD that will help contribute to meaningful change? Come work with us! We are seeking a PhD student (3.3 years fully funded) to investigate novel bark-dwelling microbial communities and greenhouse gas fluxes from Australian forests 🦠🍃| 🙏 share and apply here: tinyurl.com/mprmsaeh

New paper! "Semi‑arid irrigation farm dams are a small source of greenhouse gas emissions" is now out in Biogeochemistry For full online access, use this link: rdcu.be/dr1qs

Hats off to Knowsley Safari Park, bringing wetland biogeochemistry to the masses on their new nature trail.
