Our lab was recently featured on @tvo Kid's series Secrets of the Forest!
Dr. Arain, Nur Hussain, Lejla Latifovic, and Farbod Tabaei talked about our research towers and equipment at #TurkeyPoint, and how forests act as a #carbonsink.

On top of his PhD work, Noah Stegman is helping to restore #McMaster's West Campus. He led a project creating five vernal ponds for amphibians and insects. “I was surprised at how quickly the ponds had started working. They were way ahead of schedule.”

NEW PAPER: our colleague @SoKangyu from
@AlemuGonsamo's Remote Sensing lab has a new paper exploring biochemical and biophysical impacts of variable retention harvesting treatments. #McMaster #EddyCovariance #NaturalClimateSolution #RemoteSensing #Albedo

Variable Retention Harvesting (VRH) is a forest management that involves keeping certain trees or patches of trees during harvest to promote biodiversity & carbon (C) sequestration. It has been recognized as one of the Natural Climate Solutions in the forestry sector [1/6]

We have a new preprint on @ESSOpenArchive mapping peat depth and carbon storage of the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Peat depth increases with increasing distance from the coastline due to ongoing glacial isostatic adjustment since ice retreat began. essopenarchive.org/doi/full/…

NEW PAPER: In 2021, a spongy moth infestation severely defoliated a mature oak-dominated #temperateforest turning it from a #carbonsink to a carbon source of about 3.5 tons of carbon per hectare.

This interesting article speaks to the idea relating to the research I am a part of with the @Mac_HydroMet group. With a number of partners, we (@MAC_Climate) are currently planting a carbon sink forest in west Hamilton—exciting and rewarding work! inverse.com/science/darwin-f…
