Chemosphere, now STOTEN. 👀😥
jutfelt.bsky.social Fredrik Jutfelt 🐠 @jutfelt.bsky.social · 3d
STOTEN is now dead. It has been completely removed from Web of Science mjl.clarivate.com/search-results
jutfelt.bsky.social Fredrik Jutfelt 🐠 @jutfelt.bsky.social · Oct 21
Warning to environmental scientists! 🧪🦑🌎🐟

The journal STOTEN has been placed on hold by Clarivate, meaning it is under investigation and may lose its indexing (including impact factor). Consider publishing elsewhere.

Since 2022, HRM’s LakeWatchers have been monitoring 70+ lakes across Halifax Regional Municipality, an area roughly the size of PEI.

Now, the LakeWatchers data is available on Atlantic DataStream thanks to the Municipality’s open data leadership: datastream.org/en-ca/articl...

Since 2022, HRM’s LakeWatchers have been monitoring as much of that fresh water as they can to track changes and inform municipal planning policies.

I did a comparable map for the Halifax peninsula out of curiosity
A map of the Halifax peninsula titled "Change in population density, Halifax peninsula, 1971 to 2021". The peninsula is broken down into 17 census tracts, geographic areas used by Statistics Canada in the collection of census data. The three census tracts around downtown Halifax increased in density between 1971 and 2021, with one recording an increase of 46 people per hectare. The other 14 census tracts were relatively stable in population density or declined.

on Alice's account over on twitter posted by Sandy Ho
This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Wetlands are rare and exceptional, even small ones.

Intrinsically valuable, they also:
🌱 Offer habitat for plants, insects, amphibians and birds
🌊 Absorb stormwater, buffering against floods
🌍 Filter and reduce pollutants, improving water quality

CUPE 3912 is still waiting to meet with the employer to negotiate a new and fair contract. The employer could swiftly put an end to this by meeting immediately with the PT faculty.

Next week is the Fall Convocation -- always a great time of noting milestones and celebrating achievements!

This year, it will be Enobong Udoh from our team who will be walking the stage for her @smuscience.bsky.social MSc degree. 🥳🎓
A woman wearing waders standing in a wetland full of pickerelweed with purple blooms. She is standing over a small black-mesh mesocosm, measuring plants inside the mesocosm. She is looking at the camera with a smile, although obviously still focused on her task. A woman with a big smile inside the study room next to the ENVS classroom. There is a whiteboard with a calendar and to-do lists behind her. On the table in front is a cake with "MASTER ENOBONG" decorated on the top which Enobong is about to cut. There are plates, forks and napkins arrayed around her, ready for a lab celebration. Enobong behind a podium, about to give a conference talk. Next to her is a giant projection showing her title slide "Using macrophytes to evaluate the efficacy of an in-situ risk management strategy for wetland sediments impacted by historical gold mines". This is at the @ecotoxcan.ca meeting in Victoria BC last October 2025.
