This #SundayFishSketch is a little different. Last summer I illustrated a children's book about fish and fly fishing, and it was just published a few days ago! Now I'll be able to share the illustrations that I've had to keep hidden for so long 😄🐡

On this #EarthDay, let us also remember the species that are no longer with us 🐡 #ChinesePaddlefish

And that’s a wrap! Every painting I created in 2025. Happy New Year everyone!!!

It's always good for ecologists to play with a different ecosystem for a weekend!

One of my favorite stops at the Minnesota state fair is the fish pond at the dnr building.

As a hobby artist who devotes waaay too many hours to an economically-unviable past-time, I have to take my victories where I can. So seeing my drawings in an exhibition and genuinely feeling that they belonged there (quality-wise) was a fantastic experience that I'll treasure for a long time.

Hi #river #ecologists and #geomorphologists, is there an R or python package that can take in DEM or topo data to extract possible historic islands, side channels, and backwaters? Thanks!

Found another cool surface water map for the Upper Mississippi River! This one is from the 1960's!

I've been camping almost every weekend as of late so haven't been able to post #SundayFishSketch, but here is an edited version of my Rainbow Trout illustration with altered coloring in honor of #PrideMonth.

Recently, all the AAAS Science & Tech Policy Fellows at EPA were terminated from our positions with little notice and for no clear reason. This effectively ended a partnership that had been going since 1980 and which had brought hundreds of scientists to the EPA as fellows, many of whom stayed. 1/7

They don't make river plots like this anymore. 🤩

Have been working on an illustration of Chiasmodon niger and decided to modify it a bit to fit today's #SundayFishSketch theme.

NOAA just announced a long list of datasets that are going away🧪⚒️🌊: www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume... Download what you need asap and send comments to: ncei.info@noaa.gov

I don't go fishing, but I would love to see an American Paddlefish for today's #SundayFishSketch #SciArt

This weekend’s #SundayFishSketch #Fishytheme is for all of us that are very much looking forward to spring and summer angling. Sitting in the boat or on the dock, enjoying nice weather and nature sounds. Let’s see some sketches of fishes you’d like to catch this year (wherever you are)! #sciart 🦑

There's now a package to make your own river elevation models in python! github.com/OpenTopograp... As a river restoration scientist this is super helpful in identifying the underlying behavior of a river. Below is an example of Pool 1 in the Mississippi River.

1/2) An apology to my #SundayFishSketch community for dropping the ball on #Fishytheme posts and participation. My time has been focused on my first semester teaching as a professor. We also purchased and moved into a new home. To top it off, I have a little fry incoming at the end of September.

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

Please share around to support our federal workers!💪

It feels strange to draw fish right now when the country I live in is seemingly plummeting into authoritarianism. So I drew something else, and today it’s finally done. Federal workers deserve to be treated better, and we need the federal agencies that this administration is so intent on destroying.

This is how I feel when I start up a new programming language to learn. 🤣

More progress on my Lookdown illustration for today's #SundayFishSketch 🐡

I finally finished my Spotted Gar illustration for today's #SundayFishSketch 🐡

Absolutely terrible. @lizrenner.bsky.social is an amazing scientist, colleague, and friend. SMFH. The attacks on our science, public lands, and PEOPLE of this country are real. We will ALL be affected. www.keloland.com/keloland-com...

Definitely check out the atlas feature in QGIS to mass produce data driven maps. In my river restoration work I created a template map that compares modern aerial imagery to a historic 1890 ground survey of the Mississippi River but QGIS spits out the comparison at every river mile, all 855! #rivers

An old illustration of a Paddlefish for today's #SundayFishSketch in honor of the MN AFS 2025 meeting next week. I will have a table there. If anyone is going, feel free to stop by and say hi!

This is an excellent program, definitely worth checking out! 🐟🐠🌎🧪 units.fisheries.org/ifs/activiti...

Just finished up a review for @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social International Fisheries Section English Editing Service. Love these opportunities to assist international scientists in getting their manuscript one step closer to getting published…plus I get to read things way out of my topic zone!
