Whether it's the bog, fen, swamp, or urban wetland, we love to get fluxy 😁
We're hosting a World Wetlands Day event at University of Waterloo tomorrow. But, as the official WWD2025 comes to an end, the Wetland Soils and Greenhouse Gas Exchange Lab wants to share this wetland ear worm. You'll be singing about wetlands all week long... youtu.be/X5bt_ZG1YBE

2017, 3rd yr undergrad, the summer that started it all w/ @kenzco4.bsky.social in AB & NWT.
2023, 3rd yr PhD, the swamp project that just keeps growing w/ @wetland-ghg.bsky.social in southern ON.
Thankful for these two amazing women for taking a chance and believing in me.

Wettest day yet after a big storm last night - 45 cm at the collar in the pool!
