It’s #WorldWetlandsDay, which means it’s the perfect time to share this story from my time @SycLandTrust. Last fall, beavers moved into one of our properties. I made a comic about the big, beautiful ecological changes we witnessed over the following weeks. (1/2) #scicomm #wetland

Thinking about these two bald cypress trees that lived around 70,000 years apart from each other. Funky temporalities, arboreal existentialism, and #paleowoodanatomy make for a fine #TreeRingTuesday.

Another set of Hawley-Bell oak samples from western Kentucky is ready to go for #dendrochronology #treerings #climate #humanenvironment Excited to see these analyzed as part of an undergrad thesis in @UofLGeo and eventually become part of a growing southeastern tree-ring network.

*New Paper Alert! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
The implications of our study necessitate a re-assessment of seismic risk in the Puget Sound of Washington. The 🌲s give us a warning of potential earthquake scenarios for the heavily populated region.

This wee lil eastern larch from a peatland along Keweenaw Bay, MI takes us back to at least the 1770s (not including the inevitable missing rings hidden in there…)! 🥲 Happy #TreeRingTuesday, y’all 🌲💍🫶
