The next #Embroidery will be salmon drying on wooden drying racks. It’s the fourth of four door prizes we’ll bring to the BARC Science Fair in a few weeks! 🫧
Maybe you're cheered by the perseverance of leaping salmon hurling themselves upstream, or perhaps you marvel at the patience of the bears that park themselves in the water to hunt the fish Either way, this live feed from Brooks Falls in Alaska's Katmai National Park will greatly improve your day

New paper out today co-led by former students Philippe Major and Julien Arsenault. This is the result of a huge field campaign to painstakingly map the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus storage in (usually) quite small peatlands in a diverse landscape. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
