Long-term ice phenology records spanning up to 578 years for 78 lakes around the Northern Hemisphere nature.com/articles/s41597-0… Many of these time-series extend before the start of the Industrial Revolution.

Can patient data improve hospital care? The physician-researchers behind GEMINI, Dr. @AmolAVerma & @DrFahadRazak set out to find the answer over 7 years ago. Now the largest network of its kind in Canada, we caught up with them to see how far they've come: bit.ly/3suWFNr

Bees in the six: Determinants of bumblebee habitat quality in urban landscapes

Bees in the six: Determinants of bumblebee habitat quality in urban landscapes

Population genetic analysis of several hundred bumblebees in the city of Toronto indicated that urbanization and the availability of functional (i.e., not cosmetic) green space influenced habitat...

We (@riwoolway, @DRichardsonLab & I) discuss the rapid rates of lake ice loss and its impacts on warmer water temps, increased likelihood of blue-green algal blooms, less hockey & ice fishing, & higher chances of winter drowning in our latest article theconversation.com/our-lake…
Our lakes are losing their ice cover faster than ever — here’s what that means for us

Our lakes are losing their ice cover faster than ever — here’s what that means for us

Lakes in the northern hemisphere are rapidly losing their ice cover due to rising greenhouse gas emissions. The only way to preserve lake ice is to limit GHG emissions and slow down climate change.

“We found that lakes are losing on average 17 days of ice cover per century....may be approaching a tipping point to ice-free conditions which will have vast cultural & ecological implications,” says @YorkUScience Prof Sapna Sharma @Sharmalab. bit.ly/3pzgmTH via @CTVNews

Lakes are rapidly losing ice. In the last 107-204 yrs, ice duration was 17 days shorter per century. However, in the last 25 years, lakes are losing ice six times faster because of more ice-free years and extremely warm winters. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

1/ Impressive data from Ontario demonstrating how #COVID19 vaccines reduce infection & keep people out of hospital/ICU. But there are >750,000 Ontarians aged 50+ who remain unvaccinated. They are at greatest risk for severe illness in the 4th wave. bit.ly/3yLzSNM

Super excited for my first first author paper out of the @Sharmalab lab!!! We worked with lakes that have ice phenology data since the 1810s, for over 2 centuries!! We show breakpoints where the trend in ice loss becomes faster.

Congratulations to @arshad_imrit @YorkUScience on his latest pub where we showed that lakes are losing ice at an avg rate of 19 days/century as air temps warm. Bayfield Bay in Lake Superior lost the most ice - 61 days of ice cover over the last 164 years! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

The Half-Moon Pack had the largest litter of any pack this year with 8 pups. The largest litter we have ever documented was 9 pups so this was pretty close to the record! (1/4)
