Early 2024, my 2nd PhD Chapter was published about the key roles of species body sizes and trophic positions in determining the outcomes of #invasivespecies in communities subject to gradients of #temperature and nutrients levels. A pretty cool study with N. Pichon, A. Sentis and D. Boukal.

“As #GeographyAwarenessWeek approaches, it's the perfect time to highlight Canada’s permafrost - a crucial component of our northern ecosystems that plays a key role in shaping both our environment and infrastructure.
[You are] invite[d] to discover GEO.ca’s new Permafrost Community space, a go-to resource for anyone interested in learning more about permafrost thawing and its impacts across Canada…”

Long-term #ocean sampling in #NarragansettBay reveals plummeting# plankton levels: Impact uncertain for local #foodweb
Analyzing the full time series of the bay, the research team found that #phytoplankton biomass in Narragansett Bay declined by a stunning 49% from 1968 to 2019. The intensity of the winter-spring bloom, which starts the annual cycle of productivity in the Bay, decreased over time and is also occurring earlier each year.

This #EarthDay, here's a reminder that environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening*.

*Nothing against gardening, but we're currently facing global ecological collapse within our lifetimes.

Ocean spray emits more PFAS than industrial polluters

"Stockholm researchers several years ago found that PFAS from ocean waves crashing are released into the air around shorelines, then can travel thousands of kilometers through the atmosphere before the chemicals return to land."

“We thought PFAS were going to go into the ocean and would disappear, but they cycle around and come back to land, and this could continue for a long time into the future."
