We are recruiting a postdoc in water quality forecasting
@VirginiaTech! Come join our collaborative team to develop forecasts for managers as part of multiple projects involving #MachineLearning, catchment modeling, #HABs & more! Learn more & apply here: careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us...
Haven’t come across a water people list so I made my first starter pack! A broadly defined set of #water experts go.bsky.app/V1LydbV

This sounds so interesting! Do you have anything that you can share to learn more??
This NOAA map shows all 28 of the billion dollar weather and climate disasters that occurred in the US in 2023
2023 was the hottest year on record. Around the world, it was marked by record wildfires, hot-tub temperature ocean waters, torrential downpours, and non-stop heatwaves. The US had one billion+ dollar weather extreme every 1.8 weeks.

Crap. This isn’t good although consistent with what’s happening in lakes.
If you can't fit things into your schedule, then you don't have control over your own priorities. How to reclaim your purpose in being a scientist if you can't find time to do what you want to do?🧪

Fun new paper: 'Anoxia begets anoxia' that examines the feedback loop between anoxia, internal nutrient loading, and algal production in temperate lakes. A fundamental concept in limnology examined at a very broad spatial scale.
Congrats @aslewis.bsky.social and team!

Agree completely! It'd be fun to chat/share ideas on approaching limno/freshwater classes from this perspective.
Yes, please! There is a small "Water Science" bsky.app/profile/did:... feed (looks like @paigeinabook.bsky.social created it?) - shall we grow that single feed together? Are there others we should know about? How can we help, Paige?
Welcome! Can we start a freshwater/limnology feed?
I agree with others for 4 to 8 hours but I need to space out that time. Read entirely one day, let it sit for a day or two minimum, then go through line by line, let it sit for a day or two minimum, then finalize review.
Happy turnover day! Mohonk Lake has turned over for the season and is now isothermal. We are starting a new tradition and celebrating with… turnovers!
Castle Lake, California
Chasing down the mystery of nearshore benthic algal blooms in "blue water" lakes, our new paper explores the potential for warming water to fuel blooms via nutrient release from sediment. Led by S. Hampton with @hydrobert.bsky.social M. Meyer, J.S. Baron, and A. Champlain doi.org/10.1002/lol2...
New Substack!

Lake Baikal is amazing! Definitely oldest and deepest freshwater lake but the clearest? Maybe not... Baikal had 6 to 8m Secchi depths (Izmest-eva et al. 2016 J Great Lakes Research) while Crater Lake's had a mean Secchi of 28m (Larson et al. 2007 Hydrobiologia).
It's been a year since Tom Meixner was killed by a former student. I appreciate this lovely tribute to such a wonderful colleague news.azpm.org/p/newsfeatur...
This is amazing!! @isabellaoleksy.bsky.social
Fall has started to hit northeast USA! Here is our study lake Mohonk on this beautiful autumn day- lots of allochthonous inputs.
Whatever our choices and options, though, it’s essential to recognize that the biggest way to cut your carbon footprint is NOT the most important thing you can do to fight climate change. We need societal change; and for that, our voice is the most powerful force we have.
Interesting post... my role, at a PUI, is defined at 60/20/20 (teaching/research/service). However, service outside of the campus is neither expected nor valued when promotion/tenure decisions are made. So peer-review is 'unpaid' work that the publishers profit from (and volunteer on my part).
I made it over too!
Twitter has been a bit of a bummer recently so I am hoping Bluesky will be a nice place for science, ecology, and limnology communities to share content.
