I am so excited to announce that I have started a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University, working with Reed Maxwell and Jeff McDonnell! Together, we're tackling questions about how groundwater quality is changing, and how transit times and time lags shape these long-term trajectories.

For over 15 years the McMaster Ecohydro Lab has awarded the #NobelPeatPrize to the authors of the best peatland or peat paper of the year. It’s that time of year again where we review papers and finalize a list of nominees. Do you have a fave paper for 2025 you would like us to consider?
I picked the worst time to learn how to use em dashes effectively.
“Wait,” I said, before clicking the link. “What does Google have to do with earthquake emergency alerts in Turkey?” spoiler alert the answer is “giving us all a haunting glimpse into the privatization of science and emergency management”
Google failed to warn 10 million of Turkey earthquake severity
The tech giant said only 469 serious warnings were sent out ahead of the 7.8 magnitude quake.

“Amazon intends to build on the [10-acre wetland, in the middle of the complex], pointing out that it is a small, shallow wetland, not a major nature preserve.” Except it’s widely known now that small wetlands play a disproportionately large role in ecosystem services!
In Indiana: "To bury the fiber optic cables connecting the buildings and to install other underground infrastructure, Amazon had to pump water out of the wet ground. One permit application showed that the company requested permission to pump 2.2 million gallons an hour, for 730 days." [Gift]

Spent seven days on the West Coast Trail, hiking across incredible landscapes with amazing people. I feel lucky to be able to immerse myself in nature and witness all the earth's processes around me. To be an earth scientist and be able to see and hear the earth is such a gift.

Been quiet on here lately. I have been intentionally carving out time post-PhD to have fun, take a breath, and finish up some remaining papers. Started off the break with a cross Canada-US trip in my van to ski, hike, and camp, from Ontario through the Pacific Northwest down to Colorado. ⛷️🥾

Would anyone be interested in workshopping an open letter to AGU on this?
The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January
The AGU Catchment Hydrology TC is excited to welcome its new members. To stay connected with the hydro community, follow us on LinkedIn, X, and BlueSky. For more information, visit our webpage: hydrocatch.weebly.com 📸 Photo taken during #AGU24 with some of our members.
When asked why I studied the US instead of Canada, my answer was always the same: the US had more data and better data management. I am feeling devastated watching as agencies' websites go dark... I can't help but feel like the sheer loss of data will thwart the progress of our science.
This news item covers our preprint (version online not peer reviewed) where we looked at the difference between guaranteed minimum stipend values for graduate programs in physics and biology, and measures of local cost of living. Hope to have peer reviewed version out soon #PhDsky #academicSky
Despite a boost to federal scholarships last year, stipends for most graduate students in Canada fall below the poverty line. My story for @natureportfolio.bsky.social 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

please stop using chatgpt to write your conference talk submissions. we can tell.
We are looking for geoscientists who are or were in the workforce to take a participate in a survey about their experiences. There is almost no data on disabled geos beyond the student level and we aim to change that. Please share widely!

Friday! Final day of AGU! Please come say hi to us all! We would love to talk science 💫 @danykabyrnes.bsky.social @julieeemai.bsky.social #BasuLab #AGU24
In sessions outside my research area I find myself confused by jargon + speaker’s assumptions about the aud. background knowledge. As speakers at a large diverse conference, who should we be tailoring our talks for? Do we have a responsibility to make our talks more inclusive and accessible? #AGU23
I remember 20+ years ago Exxon funding the AGU student networking breakfast. It was all a little sus then. But now?! Get with the times. That industry is whatever the opposite of honest broker is when it comes to science. Regardless of anything else, a science org can't take their money. #AGU24
#AGU2024 - "Climate Science and Big Oil Need to Go Their Separate Ways" NASA Earth Scientist Dr. Peter Kalmus wrote an opinion piece this week on the importance of The American Geophysical Union (AGU) cutting ties with the fossil fuel industry. Read about it here: bit.ly/3VzOTQO
