My recent review “Glacial stream ecosystems and epilithic algal communities under a warming climate” was selected as Editor’s Choice in Environmental Reviews! Check it out for free here: cdnsciencepub.com/do/10.1139…

Proud of this on-the-fly analogy in an @CNN interview on snow algae and why it's red (or other colors): “I’m very light skinned, I have more struggles with the sun's UV than people with much more pigmented skin–same idea for algae,” Hotaling said.

How do melting glaciers affect algae in alpine streams? Find out tomorrow at 1PM MST when I defend my MSc thesis!!!! Send me an email at [email protected] if you’d like the zoom link for this can’t-miss event 🚨🚨🚨

.@KarsonSudlow reminding us that algae in the cryosphere are super important but understudied, particularly in cryo-influenced freshwaters. #aslo23
ASLO friends! If glaciers, streams, and/or algae interest you, come to my talk tomorrow at 3:15 in Sala Protixol 1. Hope to see you there
Wrote a short blog about algae in glacial streams for the Alpine Club of Canada. I was fortunate to receive research support from the ACC’S Environment Fund. If you’re passionate about mountain biodiversity, please considering donating!!! @alpineclubcan

🏞️ Glacially fed streams
🔬 Rock-attached algae or “epilithon”
🌡️ Effects of abiotic variables
Interested in learning more? @KarsonSudlow has got you covered via this NEW paper in @cdnsciencepub Environmental Reviews ➡️ buff.ly/3KvS06g
If you're curious about glaciers, mountain streams, or algae, wow do I have the review for you! Just published in Environmental Reviews, we discuss how disappearing glaciers affect algal communities in alpine streams. Enjoy! @cdnsciencepub

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. And a big shout out to @simonnetremblay for all her help putting this together.
Lastly, if you need even more convincing why algae are awesome, go read @ljevanso great story on glacial stream ecosystems. Check it! knowablemagazine.org/article…
Excited to have played a small role in this piece alongside some all-star alpine stream scientists. Shouts out to @ljevanso for the great story and for letting me drag her up a few mountains. Check it out, y'all!
Salmon go where stream conditions are right — and as the ideal rivers lie increasingly out of legally-protected areas, Indigenous communities look to keep the new habitats from harm. knowablemagazine.org/article…
Happy to have help out in this! Check it out. Better yet, take action to help protect glaciers and the biodiversity that relies on them!!!
🔥Hot Topic: Glacier Melt.
Read our latest blog featuring Ice-Core Scientist Dr. Alison Criscitiello, and Karson Sudlow, a Master’s of Science student studying glacier loss and alpine stream ecosystems.
There is hope, but we need to act fast.

New preprint from our Teton alpine stream work! Led by @AquaJorg (and advised by @eco_scollins), we take a deep-dive into who is eating who in high alpine streams. Turns out that in addition to hydrologic influence, trophic flexibility is a big deal!

SCAS attendees! Have you ever wondered how glacier loss impacts algae in mountain streams?? Find out at 1130 in Drummond east 🚨🚨🚨🚨

The Mountain Legacy Project was recently featured in a podcast episode by @futureecologies
Grateful for the opportunity to talk about mountains and what we can learn from repeat photography! 🏔️🌲🔥
Featuring great voices like @_sfrey_ @msanseve & others

My first paper! Very grateful to #ACME lab folks and my advisors Drs. @JasonTFisherLab & Chris Bone for helping me get this project from my undergrad out the door and into the world. @UVicENVI @UVicGeog
NEW PAPER by undergrad alumna @persiakhan_ and lab mates with our @JasonTFisherLab. Activity patterns change for mammal communities in the Rockies in response to human disturbance and the presence of white-tailed deer

Working on a story about supplemental feeding of wildlife as a conservation tool. Seeking experts & knowledge holders, particularly BIPOC, women, & LGBTQ+ sources working outside of North America and Europe. Any leads appreciated. Please RT #journorequest
IMC 2022 friends, come check out my talk on how algae are responding to glacier loss in Canadian alpine streams tomorrow at 1030am in the Theology building! Or, send me an email ([email protected]) if you'd like to meet up during the week to chat all things algae and glaciers!!
