Come work on the amazing #MississippiRiver as a @USGS Mendenhall #postdoc! Fantastic project at the intersection of fluvial #geomorphology, #ecology, and #rivermanagement with a great group of folks. Details here: tinyurl.com/7n5pak86 @KathiJoH2O @Hydrology_AGU @AGU_EPSP

For years, I wished someone inside 3M could give me insight into the company’s decision to keep making and selling “forever chemicals” even though they were accumulating in people. Then I met Kris Hansen... propublica.org/article/3m-fo…
Excited to share that the work from my Master's thesis was published today in ERL, with @locallyabsent and Mike White! This was a fun project.

More to come from our research team on how dendrochronology can shed light on climate-driven changes to floodplain forests.

In September, researchers and partners on a project investigating climate-driven changes to flood events and floodplain forests in the Upper Mississippi River gathered in the Lake Pepin area.
Participants looked at floodplain forest development stages in the field.

Ten thousand feet up in the White Mountains of central California, in a harsh desert where little else survives, majestic Great Basin bristlecone pines endure. Generally considered the oldest trees on Earth, they seem to have escaped the laws of nature. nyti.ms/3T8M7yo

My office view on my first day back to teach during a global pandemic. A good omen? #IHope
Excited to see our paper on high-resolution imaging of tree rings led by @locallyabsent out now!

Super excited to share our new open access paper in Tree Ring Research, where we describe our use of a @giga_macro system to digitize core specimens. Check out the resolution on these rings!

Some climate change-themed tree ring chat for @BBCTimFranks tonight on @BBCNewshour.
@locallyabsent, a dendrochronologist at the @UMNews told us more about the hidden histories of tree rings and what they can tell us about our changing climate bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p09m4p…
Back from an awesome week of fieldwork @ItascaBio! Big thanks to the station staff for the great accommodations
