On our way to Renous and LSW watersheds to study #lake recovery from DDTs. Map data from Heartz et al. Ecology is hosted by Gov of NB here: snb.ca/e/2000/data-E.html Map helps us select lakes across DDT gradient which we will groundtruth with sediments @CB_Edge #PowerOfPaleo
Interested in legacy effects and ecosystem recovery after broad scale applications of pesticides? Come join our working group!

ALT (a) Location of New Brunswick, Canada. Cumulative application rate of the 4 most commonly used insecticides in New Brunswick from 1952-1993: (b) DDT 1952-1968, (c) Phosphamidon 1963-1977, (d) Fenitrothion 1966-1993, and (e) Aminocarb 1970-1987, and one currently in use (f) Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki 1975-1993

On my recent trip to @GLFC_CFS, I had the pleasure of touring the Insect Production and Quarantine Laboratories. The scientists behind rearing these bugs deserve praise for their contributions to pest management and related research throughout Canada. A 🧵about 🐛🪲...
From 1952-1993 one of the worlds largest aerial pesticide application programs occurred in New Brunswick, Canada. During the program 97% of forested land (6.2 million ha) in New Brunswick was treated. The dataset is now online and open access.

The hope is making these data available will help future studies on environmental fate, ecosystem recovery, and legacy effects.
A fun project that involved fantastic collaborators across two levels of government and academia. The project would not have been possible without help from the @ciee living data project and @CFS_Science_ATL
Amazing and so well deserved
Marie-Josee Fortin @FortinMJ is honored as Canada “National Champion" of the first #FrontiersPlanetPrize on today's #EarthDay. She receives the honour on the behalf of her collaborators @ArielGreiner, @emilysdarling, @MarcoAndrello, @MartinKrkosek.👏frontiersplanetprize.org

Is glyphosate is entering New Brunswick rivers from applications in forestry? We collected 296 water samples from 8 watersheds and detected glyphosate once.
