Just finished deploying the primary mooring for our "Lake Superior Ecological Observatory", a multi-model platform that will provide an unprecedented view of a deep lake in winter. Thanks to @RealGLOS for supporting this work! @UMNDuluth @UmdLLO

Thanks to @USATODAY for following up with me about my recent posts here. Professor's deep dive into sobering planetary changes goes viral. Here's what he found. https://t.co/jy4Myh2yZ2

I'm grateful to my friends @DrLimnology and @jbcotner for organizing a Tribute Session on my behalf at the upcoming @aslo_org meeting in June in Madison. What a way to go out. My advice to anyone is to find yourself some smart and generous colleagues. You won't be sorry!
