🧪Hello all! I'm here with a #sourcerequest for @nature.com. I'm writing up a piece on low-tech lab tools. We place a lot of importance on technological innovation, but what are the simple things (DIY maybe?) that you find yourself turning to again and again? Please RT and let me know!
Potential post-doc oppurtunity to come work in Canada to work on existing or new projects. Cold-climate wind erosion, mining related dust emissions, and climate-dust feedbacks from field to lab to modelling methods.
Please contact me for more information!
Hello old friend!
Portable wind tunnel (PI-SWERL) testing of mine tailings to understand freeze drying processes in northern Canada. Funding thanks to Fonds de recherche du Québec.
MSc student Sharon for scale!
Got to spend a lovely week in community this week discussing values and climate impacts but also managed to check in on some instruments. #yukon
Is dust helping peatlands accumulate carbon? It depends. Our new paper out in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social compares the impacts of intense dust input from a road and smaller atmospheric dust episodes on a peatland - led by former Ph.D. student Xiaoyu Li

The cost of dust is more than you may think! Our study of the economic impacts of wind erosion in the USA is now out, showing it's way beyond the level of a "billion dollar disaster", greater than all other natural hazards except maybe hurricanes. Read: rdcu.be/d79cF www.nature.com/articles/s41...
