One more unforgettable scene from this fall’s trip to the Taku watershed. One morning we flew to the source of the Sittikanay River, a headwater lake rapidly being revealed by a retreating glacier, yet still so frigid that massive icebergs bobbed in its waters. Although our minnow traps came up empty, the @salmonwatershedsscience has caught char in new lakes even colder than this one, and sockeye salmon are surely on their way (indeed, we caught plenty just a few miles downriver). While climate change’s grand thaw is cataclysmic for the planet at large, it may be a boon to the Taku’s sockeye, as the total extent of suitable spawning lakes is forecast to roughly double by century’s end. Privileged to be in such a sacred, spectacular, and fast-changing place.
Thanks to @britt.milner @see_jay_esse @trtfnofficial and everyone else who facilitated this adventure of a lifetime.

Recently, the Salmon Watersheds Lab travelled to Sorrento, BC for our annual lab retreat! ☀️
Sorrento is the home of the Adam’s River sockeye salmon run 🐟, where hundreds of thousands of sockeye gather to move up the Adam’s River and spawn! It was an absolutely unforgettable experience😊
We also spent time discussing important lab-wide topics and goals (while carving our own personalized salmon, of course) ⚒️
Most importantly, we relaxed, bonded, and enjoyed each other’s company!
A big thank you to @twouvula.nika, Mark Connor (trtfn.com) and Dr. Shannon Waters (www.drshannonwaters.com) for joining us!

Taku River sockeye salmon gearing up to spawn in their natal lake this September. By now all these animals have fulfilled their reproductive mission and transitioned into carcasses, leaching life-giving nitrogen and phosphorus into the lake where their offspring will rear. A salmon never dies; she is merely recycled.
Gratitude (again) to @salmonwatershedsscience, @britt.milner, and @see_jay_esse for introducing me to these peerless fish and extraordinary place.

In the course of reporting #FishBook, I recently had the immense privilege of spending three days traveling the Taku River watershed with the @salmonwatershedsscience team, who are studying how #salmon colonize rivers made suitable by glacial retreat. (Hooray, climate change?) Thanks in large measure to the wise stewardship of @trtfnofficial, the Taku watershed has no dams, no industrial logging, no levees, and virtually no roads. Rarely have I ever been in such an unaltered basin, or seen rivers so unbound, willful, and alive — rivers who so thoroughly express what @robgmacfarlane described as water’s “indwelling animacy.” I thought you might want to see them, too. Boundless gratitude to @see_jay_esse, @britt.milner, and Jon Moore for acquainting me with this special place.
More pics from our grand Taku adventure to come! Tomorrow: the fish…

Awesome to connect with @ben.a.goldfarb up in the Taku and get into proglacial ecosystems and wrangle some salmon and temperature loggers for collaborative science! @britt.milner @see_jay_esse @trtfnofficial

Collaborative field research in the Taku with awesome people in inspiring places. Gratitude @trtfnofficial @see_jay_esse @britt.milner

In late July, we celebrated Marta as she defended her PhD thesis! We are so proud of everything she has accomplished!🥹
Her thesis dove into the cumulative harm salmon face; caused by a myriad of stressors across their life cycle. She addressed key challenges this poses for understanding, predicting, and managing cumulative effects.
Congratulations Marta!🎉🎉

Earlier this summer, the Salmon Watersheds Lab spent some time in the Nicola Watershed 🌊☀️! It is always great to work with awesome partners on the lands and waters!
Working in partnership with local experts, we are tracking how the river landscape is changing over time, and in turn how it will impact salmon🐟.
Snorkel surveys 🤿 provide a snapshot of the diversity, abundance, and habitat usage of the fish community.
Habitat surveys with an RTK (real-time kinematic positioning) quantify the pool size, location, and depth into the future.
Swipe to the end to see some fuzzy friends we made along the way!🐶🐶

🏔️272 days of watching a proglacial lake in the Taku watershed! As the glacier has retreated over the past 20 years, it has formed a lake that is currently home to Dolly Varden. As retreat continues, it will likely be home to other fish such as sockeye salmon!🏔️
As part of the Salmon Resiliency Initiative led by @trtfnofficial, the team recently retrieved some camera traps that are monitoring glacial retreat within the Taku River. This work is part of a larger project studying how climate change may impact salmon in the Taku River Watershed.

Earlier this month, the FIFA World Cup was in full swing at the Salmon Watersheds Lab!⚽️⚽️🎉
World Cups only happen once a PhD, so we made sure to take full advantage of it with several viewing party / work sessions. 📝🎥
