Forecasting Tools and Mitigation Options for Diverse Bloom-Affected Lakes
Canada
Joined August 2017
Who eats who—or indeed, whom—in fresh water? Allow us to explain the difference between a food web, a food chain and trophic levels—and what that means in a lake… (It's definitely whom, by the way...) https://t.co/cqk4ilQ8nF

Please check out this MSc position with @fen_fatale and I! An amazing combination of Northwest Territories-base field research on caribou forage recovery and fun with lichens in the greenhouse 👇
The @forestecogrp is hiring a two-year based MSc position leading an exciting study linking caribou winter forage re-establishment trends, permafrost, and wildfire in the Northwest Territories Canada. It has got it all! If you love lichen this is the position for you.

Here's a new @GWF_pubs from our @GWFutures work on a cyano bloom affected reservoir. The reservoir was originally built to ensure summer river flows. It's used by many people. Increases in extreme rainfall now make toxin-producing blooms occur earlier in the summer.

Conditions that cause a toxin-producing cyanobacteria bloom came early because of a v large rain event - these events are expected to become more frequent. Thus "effectively elongating the bloom season period of potential toxicity" @GWFutures

Preprint is out for our study on phytoplankton blooms at @IISD_ELA! Long-term monitoring data + process-oriented modeling reveal interactions between higher temps and external fertilization, resulting in higher blooms. Collab w/ @JJVenky @couturerm & Twitterless others

Interested in iron cycling or #boreal lakes? We find evidence of photoferrotrophs (bizarre photosynthetic bacteria) in the bottom waters of lakes at @IISD_ELA via #metagenomics and cultivation. Pre-print at https://t.co/33ysJ309km

Laurier’s @JJVenky works at ELA as part of @formbloom . Today’s #SWCCan2019 talk about ELA shows importance of whole ecosystem studies in lakes.

Full circle: My MSc research was part of a 20 year long whole-ecosystem experiment to evaluate the impacts of freshwater fish farming. This news article covers the outcomes of that research https://t.co/aPrPX3GgRQ
