Planning next fieldwork #IsleOfLewis as we finish #CAN23 trip @joshfdean.bsky.social, and then it shows up in Friday eve CD liner
A frozen East Channel of the Mackenzie delta
Fires south of yellowknife
Leaving the Arctic #CAN23 as the river channels freeze (photo thanks to Linn Speidel). The frozen landscape gives way to a too warm boreal forest and ongoing fires nr Great Slave Lake
Last samples of the trip #CAN23 from the East Channel at Inuvik, where again we find higher river CH4 concentrations than we expected @joshfdean.bsky.social
We hiked to this lovely tributary draining to the Peel, Nataiinlaii Creek, which was ridiculously full of methane and a big contrast to the mountain streams from a few days ago #CAN23 @joshfdean.bsky.social
Great day on the banks of the Peel River, where ice cover stopped us getting a boat out, but still we’re able to get some great samples and data #CAN23 @joshfdean.bsky.social
The elongated darker bits are pieces of Devonian wood!
Mackenzie river at Tsiigehtchic
Sedimentary structures and pieces of wood in Devonian sandstones and shales next to the #Mackenzie River #CAN23, all the while the river carries a modern version in its load
Outstanding day up in the mountains west of the Peel River #CAN23, with streams and rivers draining shales and transferring geological #carbon and lots of dissolved #CO2
Freeze up happening on the Arctic Red at Tsiigehtchic, with ice almost to the #Mackenzie main stem #CAN23 @joshfdean.bsky.social
It’s not long until the rivers freeze up here, and we’re treated to beautiful winter views on the #Dempster Highway #CAN23 @joshfdean.bsky.social
