While herring spawn and flowers signal the coming of spring at lower elevations, it's still wintery up on the mountains. @mountainmap from @HakaiGeospatial is part of a team with @VIUniversity measuring the snow pack on Mount Arrowsmith before it melts and flows to the coast.

On Nov 15, 2021 an #AtmosphericRiver hit the #Fraser Valley and Canyon. In support of a BC Salmon Restoration Innovation Fund #BCSRIF project and with support from @HakaiInstitute, we flew the Fraser Canyon to document the #floods and #landslides that occurred. 1/18 #BCStorm

Reflecting on #SIC2019, I am grateful for the amazing collaborative folks at @HakaiInstitute for their contributions. An expert field team that makes remote work smooth. Here I highlight the different angles mussels can be found on with a model made by the crack geospatial team
