Interested in the formation of river rapids by debris flows that occur during atmospheric rivers? Come see Kyra Baird’s poster tomorrow! She is an @sfu undergrad at @agu for the first time. agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/meet… @SFUResearch @SFUENV @LandslideSalmon @KyraBaird_ #AGU23

Interested how landslides create hydraulic barriers to salmon migration in rivers. Come see some of our talks and posters at #AGU23 @jcarrRockstar @kyraB18544 @chloerross @mor_wright @FishyBehaviour @Steelqat @brianmenounos @derekheathfield @HakaiGeospatial @LandslideSalmon

Rapid at the Big Bar Landslide. Not as terrifying as it once was. Still impressive. @LandslideSalmon

Good inspiration for submitting to the Ecogeomorphology session at #AGU23 this week! Session link: agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prel…

I’m not sure how the sand transport flume turned into a #salmon swim tank, but it’s been fun watching @NPleizier and Kyle Kusack to make this happen. @LandslideSalmon

If you have to run Hell's Gate in #FraserRiver studying landslides & salmon, you should have fun doing it. youtu.be/1e8moZQZUpc via @YouTube @brianmenounos @HakaiInstitute @SFUEVSC @SFUENV @SFU @Steelqat @SuperSaetta @danmurph97 @mor_wright @jcarrRockstar @LandslideSalmon

The Fraser is cranking! Flow's of ~9,800 m³/s based on the gauge in Hope, British Columbia. (Video: Hell's Gate)

In 2018, the Big Bar landslide blocked the Fraser River and put salmon at risk. @SFUEVSC researchers are part of a project looking at how landslides threaten salmon and what can be done to prevent future disasters. Read more at: ow.ly/wWVI50J6wRt

On November 15, 2021, an atmospheric river caused landslides throughout the Fraser Canyon, inducing transportation chaos. A new rapid has emerged in the river at the base the Lambsview Canyon slide, causing a new barrier to #Fraser #salmon's travel home to spawn. @DFO_Pacific

If anyone is interested feel free to check out my #AGU2021 (virutal) poster 'EP55A-1079: Spatial Variability of Bedforms in a Large Lowland River'. I will be hanging around virtually for a few hours this afternoon if anyone has any questions or would like to chat for a bit.

Black Canyon (one of the 42 bedrock canyons on the Fraser River in BC). Cheers to the start of a (socially distanced) field season! 🪨

The beautiful Alexandra Canyon (located on everyone’s favourite river: The Fraser!) Just a fun reminder that, despite how it may feel now, there is more in the world than our computer screens and zoom meetings 💻 Hoping to see this view again soon!

I wrote a thing! Have been thinking a lot about how the #forestfiresmoke we are breathing now brings us closer to understanding how #oceanacidification may feel for marine life. Thanks to the @thenarwhalca for supporting and publishing my work! thenarwhal.ca/wildfire-ocean…

Smoke and acid: where wildfires meet the ocean | The Narwhal

As wildfires burn uncontrollably south of the U.S. border, the smokey skies over B.C. hint at the suffocating life in an ocean growing increasingly acidic

A screen shot from the #PictureAScientist movie. This is what female scientists in academia experience (especially what’s under the tip of the iceberg). Such experiences have shaped too much of my scientific career, and if we don’t talk about it, we all feel that it’s just us.

Online classes have begun! Which means tutorial session that consist of people popping in to ask one question and then leaving me to sit alone on zoom for half an hour... yay

A study concludes that overly technical language in science articles doesn’t just muddy the waters for non-experts — it can alienate readers, potentially shutting them out from scientific discussion and knowledge. go.nature.com/2TmYud6
