Back from another volunteer trail work day at the Thunder Bay #Karst Preserve. Our work detail was pretty light today, much of it simply standing by while a couple others with chain saws chopped up more tree-fall from the recent ice storm.

Limestone pavement (Karst 🌍)

A limestone pavement is a natural karst landform consisting of a flat, incised surface of exposed limestone that resembles an artificial pavement. The term is mainly used in the UK and Ireland, where many of these landforms have developed distinctive surface patterning resembling paving blocks. Similar landforms in other parts of the world are known as alvars.

Historical holes: Beneath the surface, caves hold the key to Australia’s wildfire history

My colleague @michcampbell recently held a postdoctoral research grant from AINSE. They've just released this 2025 Research Spotlight for early career researcher awardees all about her fire research. I think this is nicely done. If you'd like to know how caves and cave stalagmites can be used to reconstruct records of past fires, here's the article

Podgora (hill) (Karst 🌍)

Podgora, also known in Italian as Monte Calvario and in Slovene as Kalvarija, is a hill on the Karst plateau west of Gorizia, on the right bank of the Isonzo, with an elevation of 241 meters above sea level. Due to its commanding position over the Isonzo valley and the Gorizia plain, it was the theatre of bitter fighting during the First World War, from June 1915 to Augus...

#Doubs #Rivière #Karst #sécheresse #DéficitHydrique #Écologie

Après deux mois de déficit hydrique en Franche-Comté, la sécheresse se fait déjà sentir par endroits. C'est le cas de la rivière le Doubs, en aval de Pontarlier, une portion connue depuis 2018 pour ses pertes importantes. En ce début avril, certains secteurs sont déjà à sec, menaçant faune et flore.

Fantastic cave trip of the Greater Houston Grotto on March 29, 2025: Hypogene Karst of Texas is well represented at the Deep and Punkin Caves Preserve of the Texas Caves Management Association!

Keep fighting for the Earth, it is our only home.

Caves are a space highly at risk, and many species in them can be "canaries in the coal mine". The water in them tells the tale of the surface above: pollution, fertilizer, pesticides, microplastics, and more. Too bad wealth doesn't trickle down like pollution into ecosystems. We should really swap those two...

Lake Palčje, Slovenia. The star of Pivka seasonal lakes nature park. Ephemeral and timeless.

And hard to get with a camera on a kite.

This is a story that concludes a seven year quest for a successful KAP session here. It was worth the wait.

Enjoy!

Estavelle (Karst 🌍)

In karst geology, estavelle or inversac is a ground orifice which, depending on weather conditions and season, can serve either as a sink or as a source of fresh water. It is a type of ponor or sinkhole. == References...

Der Schlänger Bach fällt gerade trocken. Wir haben dort als Kinder viel Zeit verbracht. An Fische in der Pastorenwiese kann ich mich nicht erinnern, wird es aber sicher gegeben haben. Ein gefundenes Fressen für die benachbarten Störche. #senneteutoegge #karst #karstbach

#MarshMadness day 21
Two little isopods, Lirceus sp. They are not technically from a marsh they are from a spring, but the spring was rather tiny marsh-like so I am counting it.

Right now I am trying to get people to step up for our environment as the public comment period draws to a close on removing the National Environmental Policy Act. This will effectively destroy almost all environment protections in the United States. If you were worried they will destroy the National Parks for profit, rest assured this is the first step. By removing NEPA, they *will be able to*. Easily.

Please, go leave your comment (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/02/25/2025-03014/removal-of-national-environmental-policy-act-implementing-regulations), call your senators and congress, and keep fighting for nature.
