Stream ecology students @CNASatMSU surveyed the hell out of a bunch of gravel bars the past couple days. Ended today in the swimmin hole at Bull Creek and with Bob stories on the Kipfer deck. All in support of Alexis’s badass thesis work on gravel bar plant succession!

Couple shots of final Stream Ecology class presentations. Group leaf pack projects. A fun culmination of a lot of hard work this semester @CNASatMSU !

Great weekend field trip to collect data throughout the heavily urbanized but still quite diverse Wilsons Creek network, post-flood. BIO 509 @CNASatMSU Come take this class! Nobody ate the Peeps.

We got a great field day in today in @CNASatMSU Stream Ecology. Leaf pack experiments set up in Pierson Creek and lots of data collected in a restored reach of South Creek. 💙 🦖

New year new Stream Ecology class, braving the icy conditions to learn how to use the survey gear and map cross- and long sections of urban @CityofSgf Fassnight Creek. Gonna be a fun semester! @CNASatMSU

Triplectides proximus won my heart. They carve out twigs of various sizes and/or little pieces of burned wood to make cases #Trichoptera

Back from 3 weeks collecting caddisflies (for pop-gen_ from headwater streams near the S end of Australia's Great Dividing Range. Yabbies, tree ferns, leeches, kookaburras with great life lesson (just laugh), Vegemite on toast... Immersion in new-to-me system = spice of life!

Some Fall fieldwork down at Bull Creek.

HBD Jo! Water Willow in an Ozark stream!
