New recognition of the major contribution of healthy kelp forests to the global economy and as part of any climate solution. (Not to mention, they're gorgeous!) nature.com/articles/d41586-0… @NatureComms @UNSW @EgerAaron @KelpAlliance @gvconroy #EarthDay2023 #OceanClimateAction

A conversation on how we can predict the rate of glacier change, how ecosystems adapt to these changes and how coastal communities are mitigating and planning for resilience to change now, and into the future.

Always so rewarding to see our @HakaiInstitute habitat mapping time series data incorporated in research that will help inform monitoring and conservation of important coastal ecosystems like #seagrass!
Huge shout out to @StuMunsch for leading this work!
New paper! #Eelgrass #MarineConservation 📰✨
So excited 2 share this piece that quantifies dynamic changes in eelgrass habitat across 23 sites along the #NorthEastPacific
Led by @StuMunsch, co-authors include @HessingLewis @LubaReshitnyk & more!

What does the snow know about climate change? Turns out... quite a lot.
Episode 4 of #PlanetWonder is out!
Thanks to research hydrologist Bill Floyd @VIUniversity for being our amazing guide (and teaching me how to ski)

An article about a recent paper that I published with Schery Umanzor (@UAFcfos). We found distinct differences between sugar and ribbon kelps when thinking about the total carbon that might be directly removed from the system due to harvest.
