En ce #JourdelaTerre, rappel que le AI slop c'est de la pollution atmosphérique, du gaspillage énergétique, de l'extractivisme matériel, du vol de la propriété intellectuelle ainsi que de la pollution mentale et culturelle. Quand même particulier qu'on n'ait même pas pensé à créer une IA sans slop.
I'm happy to see this new research published! In this paper led by wonderful Aude Flamand we show that anthropogenic influence has reshaped carbon storage in lakes. This is important because lakes store lot of carbon although they cover a relatively small area 🧪🏞

Is the scholarship still valid if the student is registered in a university outside of the US? I'm sure there would be opportunities in Canada!
Great article featuring results from my former PhD student Sophie Pouillé - she tracked the geochemical impacts of dust deposition around Ä'äy Chù using lichen and found the high arsenic concentrations reported in the story 🌲
I got to talk about the impact of wildfires on the carbon balance of permafrost peatlands on CBC yesterday - especially on the work done by Christopher Schulze in northern Alberta.

"Geochemical Evidence for Retention of Particulate Carbon and Mercury Across the Romaine Land-Ocean Aquatic Continuum"

A little bit of Saturday morning science - Former postdoc Anne Tamalavage led this study showing how organic matter and mercury gets retained along the land to ocean aquatic continuum. This was done in the La Romaine watershed in eastern Quebec 🌲💧

Hence why I tell my students to ignore anything published in a MDPI journal
“Spring in Canada is so beautiful” says woman about to experience months of grimy dirt snow on the side of roads
On this International Women's Day, a reminder that intimate-partner violence has tripled in Quebec over the past decade, and the CAQ refuses to allocate the funds needed for adequate shelter space.
This is a systemic failure.

21.1°C in Chamonix today! 🔥🥵
A monthly record for February since at least 1880! 🌡️
Words truly fail to describe such early heatwaves, which are so out of season and detrimental to ecosystems.

CBC / Radio-Canada is broadcasting the hockey semi-finals in Atikamekw, Innu, Inuktitut and Cree - that's what public broadcasters are for!
It keeps getting better and better
Excited to report that every answer to "I know the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into" is giving me an existential crisis
Are the astrophysicists all right
Are you guys all right out there
Is this normal for you
📢Feb 2 is #WorldWetlandsDay! A day to celebrate the world's wetlands, including bogs, fens, and swamps.
Many Ramsar sites are #peatlands but there are large gaps in global cover. For more on this issue, and on peatlands and @ramsar.org, see my new Peatpedia post: open.substack.com/pub/peatpedi...
L'utilisation des guillemets dans le texte 👌
"Imagine how they lie when there is no evidence to contradict them"
Yep. Very disappointing
I wish the NHL players would do the same (not gonna hold my breath)
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments.
I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite.
Would love to gather any and all other names.

Je fais partie des signataires de cet appel: "Nous exhortons (...) le gouvernement à prendre ses responsabilités et à maintenir, voire à revoir à la hausse, ses cibles de réduction de GES, dans l’intérêt des Québécois et des générations futures, qui porteront le fardeau de notre dette climatique. "
Je regarde tjs les discours avec l'oeil du métier. Le discours est super bien construit, le niveau de vocabulaire est celui des grands moments, il rattache plusieurs fois ses idées les unes aux autres. Il a un télprompteur qqpart à gauche? mais s'en sert bien. Il a une solide équipe de rédacteurs.
But he has the best peat, the most beautiful peat!
The US stands alone in dismissing the problem of climate change.
per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing
