Michelle Stirling is also with "Friends of Science" (lol), and I hadn't heard about Billboard Chris (yikes) until today. Not a big surprise, but it seems like the Venn diagram of climate change deniers, residential school deniers, and anti-trans activists is a single circle.

Final presentations from students in GEOG 450/650 (and an independent study) are happening next Tuesday (Dec 02) at 12:30 in the GIS lab at UNBC. We are opening this up to everyone, so come on out and see the possibilities of #geospatial analysis with #python! @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social

The Kiskatinaw River discharge this year (green line) is incredibly low; dashed lines here show the median and 75th and 25th percentiles of daily flows. Data from Water Survey of Canada.

You might see me on CBC's The National tonight (!), talking about the storm that trapped hundreds of trekkers on the north/east side of Everest and its connections to #climatechange. Here is a collection of satellite loops from 01 - 05 October showing the development and progression of the storm.

It’s September 3, we are 10+ days into record breaking temperatures with zero precipitation, and would probably hit the forecast record high of 31C except we are smothered in #wildfire smoke. #climatechange

Floated/paddled down a river yesterday. Highly recommended!
