I am very happy to have been selected to join the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on indicators for the Global Biodiversity Framework. I will try to support countries with the task of measuring and guiding progress to the goals and targets with GEO BON knowledge

1st week back to school & my thoughts are with the 300K grad students and postdocs struggling to make ends meet, to find housing, afford food, pay tuition, all while solving the greatest problems facing Canada. Chrystia Freeland Justin Trudeau we must do better #SupportOurScience

The biomass of every tree in Europe was mapped. That allows us to quantify the overlooked contribution of trees outside forests, such as in urban areas, to national carbon stocks. Maps and codes for download via the paper in Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #PlanetScope

Thanks again to the WHO WHO R&D Blueprint team for the invitation to be part of their session on Improving Vaccine Effectiveness. If anyone missed it and wants to check out any of the many great presentations, please find them all posted here: who.int/news-room/even…

While in the peer-review limbo, we have published the preprint version of the analysis we made looking into 97 urban and rural GPS collared coyotes for urban-driven changes in net displacement and potential cascading effects into seed dispersal distance researchsquare.com/article/rs-274…

📢Nominate someone to be an ESA Fellow by November 2 at 5:00 PM EST through the online awards submission site! esa.org/about/awards/

Great presentation by @ddfergus95 today representing @NrscResat the #GEOBONconf2023 talking about ecosystem

Thank you so much CSBQ-QCBS for organizing the Early Career & Student Trivia and Mixer night 🍻📝 And thank you Flavio Affinito for hosting and coming up with very interesting questions 🤓 #GEOBONconf2023

We’re thrilled to have Dr Emily Darling give the closing keynote on her remarkable work on monitoring of coral reefs from local (in situ) to global. Easy to say, but so hard to do. Emily is making this possible with project MERMAID - game changing and inspiring! #GEOBONconf2023

The mapmisc, diseasemapping and geostatsp packages have returned to CRAN using terra in place of rgdal/sp.

History shows that we consistently fail to meet our global environmental targets. We need to keep this in mind as we try to avert the worst of the current mass extinction. We have 7 years to halt and reverse biodiversity degradation. Can we beat the odds? #KMGBF #MakeNatureCount

Importante comentario editorial de @victor194572 en Nature. La ciencia pública es uno de los mayores orgullos de Argentina. Defendámosla

Hot of the press: Agricultural Water Survey 2022: Canadian farmers used 23% more water to irrigate their crops in 2022 compared with two years earlier, mostly due to drier conditions in Canada (2.2 billion cubic metres of water) www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

sad moments in the life of an ecologist... when the map calls forest but this is what you find when validating...

Happy for the middle class... How about the 300,000 graduate and postdoctoral researchers driving Canada's innovation economy that are living in poverty? Please don't forget to #SupportOurScience Support Our Science

When people ask what is my favorite thing about Canada, I always answer wetlands, specially peatlands. I'm so happy to have co-authored a wetland research paper for the first time. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
