Nothing quite like measuring snow in a snowstorm 😆 but we got the job done! ❄️
❄️ Last weekend, the @UTM GGR317 class braved the snow to collect data for their spatial variability lab and collected a great dataset! ❄️ Thanks to @CampKawartha for hosting us!

Sloppy slush this year out on our research lakes means walking to the main site rather than driving, but the group managed to get some measurements anyway! A shout out to the trusty snow tube borrowed from @RobinFThorne several years ago :D @UTM_GGE ❄️❄️

Big congrats to MSc student Lisa Marno @UTM_GGE @geo_uoft for a great job with her presentation at #CRRC2025 showing changing snow conditions in the Canadian High Arctic
The last oral session of Day 2 at #CRRC2025 with an exciting session on remote sensing! 🛰️❄️ From tracking snow phenology shifts to 3D modeling of Great Bear Lake and land cover change in Old Crow Flats—powerful tools for understanding our changing landscapes! 🌍🔬

With 40+ students registered, the #CRRC2025 fieldwork workshop got students thinking ahead about how to be ready for their field season! 🏕️🧭 Covering often-overlooked essentials—knots, ratchet straps, GPS use, survival gear, and logistics—it was a great refresher for field prep!

A wonderful keynote from Dr. John Smol at the #CRRC2025 Conference, where he explores how Arctic lakes and ponds have reached critical ecological thresholds due to climate warming. A very compelling paleoenvironmental assessment of the profound changes unfolding over time!🌍❄️

Excellent presentations by @ReSEC_WLU members at @ArcticNet! Fantastic to see our latest research on lake ice and climate change impacts in (sub)Arctic ecosystems being shared with researchers and local communities. Congrats to the team on their valuable contributions! #ReSECLab
Day 2 of #ArcticChange2024 is underway! Come checkout presentations from ReSEC members this afternoon. ❄️🧊💧 Room 314 & 315 from 3-4:30 and during the poster session! @ArcticNet

Our research equipment for lake ice monitoring is all set up and the MacDonald Lake weather station serviced (and finally back online to send data to us!). Thanks @HaliburtonFWLR for working with us on our lake ice projects! @UTM_GGE @UTM Now we just need some lake ice ❄️🧊
