Do you want Utah to improve #AirQuality? EPA is reconsidering the PM2.5 standard & accepting public comments until Mar 28. It's a once-in-a-generation opportunity & they need to hear from Utahns who are most affected. Comment here👉 https://t.co/P8KAHV8rVq Context below 🧵

Made it to Chicago for #AGU22! Come visit my poster Wednesday morning: H32S-1156:Consequences of Boreal Peatland Disturbance on DOM Quantity and Quality at the Catchment Scale (sexier name on poster but you gotta come visit!)

A little challenge to all who benefited from the scholarship at Scotty Creek - if you've cited a Scotty paper and are sipping on a coffee right now, why not donate tomorrow's coffee funds to the rebuilding effort's Go Fund Me?
The Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation has started a fundraising campaign to help rebuild Scotty Creek following the wildfire: https://t.co/QU1nzLV7W0

Working towards incremental athletic progress has helped immensely with the mental load of incremental academic progress. Cheers to patient consistency and another mountain marathon in the books! https://t.co/oWKqZeXcX8

I'm really proud of this episode. Please listen and share widely! TLDR/L: We need to transition to a green economy and part of that transition involves mining. But mining on peatlands could have deleterious effects on the saved carbon emissions from EVs.
New episode drop! I talked to @lorna_h1 about the Hudson Bay Lowland and the Ring of Fire mining proposal. Check it out on Spotify and Stitcher! https://t.co/rhdN3gaFzV

As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.

Unconscionable for #ABgov to greenlight peat extraction on the lands of Dene Tha' First Nation during the ongoing climate emergency, on intact permafrost peatlands and critical caribou habitat. #PeatTwitter More on the Bistcho Lake subregional plan: https://t.co/wIIEWVvBsc

Such an important op-ed by Aarushi Verma about the present and future of energy in Utah. I echo her non-rhetorical question: "How can Utahns achieve energy policy driven by facts rather than industry PR?" #utpol #utleg

Aarushi Verma writes that it is time to challenge Utah’s old-school energy plan

In last week's episode with @KristynMayner, we talked about her favorite peatland: the Wagner Fen just outside of Edmonton, AB. Check out this gorgeous Calypso Orchid that grows there!
