Landslides, sediment deficits, climate and landuse change, & #salmon population declines. The #Fraser River needs a Science Monitoring Centre, now. @LandslideSalmon @SFU @SFUENV @VancouverSun vancouversun.com/opinion/op-…

Jeremy Venditti: The mighty Fraser is a river in peril, fragile in ways we might not expect

I’m excited to share a project that I’ve been working on since 2017! It started as a fun discussion with @EricDealFluvial, but has turned into something more insightful than we had originally imagined. A lattice model of bed load sediment transport: doi.org/pnn5 (1/5)

The #FraserRiver is unique among the world’s great rivers – a huge, relatively natural, undammed, mountain river running through a dense urban area. But a lack of monitoring and management could threaten what makes the Fraser special, particularly its natural biodiversity and ability to respond to sea-level rise, warn #SFU experts. sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2025/… @SFU_Science @VendittiLab @SDashtgard

Climate change and encroaching development continues to pressure biodiversity, but the West saw dozens of conservation success stories in 2024. buff.ly/3Px4EoB

Over the course of this week, the contents of these pallets should transform into the #BiG_lab (BioGeomorphology) research flume @MMU_NATSCI @MMUEngage @ManMetUni . Offload this morning with John Dalton keeping an eye on proceedings.

Excellent review on salmon swim capabilities. A must read for geomorphologists interested in salmon, landslides, and flow dynamics. @LandslideSalmon

In our latest issue 👉 A review of adult salmon maximum swim performance by Associate Editor Erika Eliason and colleagues ow.ly/UMIT50TnbEi @DFO @ucsantabarbara
Figure 1 shows a conceptual diagram of different aspects of a salmon's physiology during swimming (swim speed, muscle activation, recovery costs, and swim tests) across timescales.

This is an impressive landslide! Potential for a significant hazard if the landslide dam fails catastrophically and the lake behind it drains quickly. Note the river is completely dry downstream. Do NOT walk out into the channel! bc.ctvnews.ca/landslide-alon…

Call for AGU abstracts! EP019 - Fluvial Dynamics, Sediment Transport, and Landscape Evolution in Mountain Ranges Abstracts due July 31: agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/pre… #AGU24 #EPSPatAGU24
The image is an advertisement for a scientific session at AGU24, titled "EP019: Fluvial Dynamics, Sediment Transport, and Landscape Evolution in Mountain Ranges." The background features a scenic view of a river cutting through a mountainous landscape with dense forests and a cloudy sky. The session description highlights the importance of rivers in mountain landscapes for generating topographic relief and setting erosion rates. It invites research on river and valley morphology, sediment transport, channel networks, and landscape evolution, emphasizing multi-disciplinary approaches. The session is convened by Julia Carr, Brian Yanites, Sophie Rothman, Grace Guryan, and Laurent O. Roberge. The call to action states, "Submit by July 31." The event will take place in Washington, D.C., from December 9-13, 2024. The AGU24 logo is displayed at the bottom right corner.

"Teaching about subjects like climate change & other related environmental issues feels like a massive privilege & responsibility...I want them to leave my courses feeling inspired & empowered to act, rather than anxious & defeated." More on Holland's approach to teaching👇
