Breaking my twitter hiatus to announce that I’ll be joining the University of North Florida as an Assistant Professor!
I’m so grateful for the support and collaborations that made this possible.
In my lab, we’ll work at the nexus of freshwater and estuarine ecology and study on how communities respond to environmental change.
We will explore questions related to how systems resist, recover from, or transform under stress.
II’ll be recruiting graduate students to start Fall 2027 to work on projects spanning big data, community ecology, and applied problems. Lab website to come--but for now: robertjfournier.com
Given the the political climate and the disgusting actions of the owner of this platform, I think it's best if I never open this app again. If you want to reach me my email is pretty findable. Take care of yourselves.

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

New review by me @r_sarremejane @Judy_E12 et al. is out in WIRES Water. We explore effects of past & future drought on biodiversity in UK rivers. Could increasingly extreme droughts push systems to persistent, species-poor, functionally simplified states?

I’m really excited to share our new synthesis of 2,396 (!) multiple-stressor experiments conducted in freshwater ecosystems that’s just been published in @Ecology_Letters: doi.org/10.1111/ele.14463

so happy to share a chapter from my dissertation is out today in @PNASNews showing that historical redlining, a policy that codified segregation & disinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, shapes contemporary wildlife biodiversity in California (1/2)

New research from Professor @watershedted and PhD candidate Lucy Andrews finds that California's stream monitoring network could be reconfigured or expanded to make it more efficient, cost-effective, and relevant.

Please check out our new paper about novel climate-induced stream drying! @fishteph and I started work on this paper when I was a @SmithFellows postdoc way back in 2014, so I'm thrilled to see it in print: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Led by @watershedted and @kbdobbin, a $9.1 million research project is exploring ways to distribute California surface water more equitably among agriculture, cities and unincorporated communities, and the environment.
UC researchers are working to ensure water distribution priorities meet the needs of communities, imperiled species and the environment #EarthMonth bit.ly/3x5dfIU

Experimentally manipulating stream flows to simulate future conditions in the US Eastern Sierras allowed researchers to chronicle ecosystem changes under extended low-flow scenarios. One finding of note: expect more midges. In PNAS: ow.ly/z7Sh50R25R5

So happy to share the first chapter of my PhD!! 👏🎉🎉. Here we present two different approaches, LCBD and Marxan, to assess the dynamism of temporary streams from a conservation perspective. ¡Check it out!
