Still learning to navigate this space but I think I moved my profile to @SwampThingPaul ...
Remember as a kid when you played in the bathtub and you would make waves? Remember how the water moved from one end of the tub to the other? In big open lakes, extreme wind events and Hurricanes can do the same thing...except we call it seiche. During #HurricaneIan, the extreme winds moved water from north to south causing storm-surge-like conditions in Lake Okeechobee with a delta of 9.5 Ft (North minus South)!!
#Limno & #stats friends, I'm looking at changes in lake nutrient concentrations relative to climate metrics in a temperate lake. I've come across several papers that detrend the data before comparing it to other metrics. I've always felt weary about de-trending data, thoughts?

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of things.

So "Boost" is like "re-tweet" and "favorite" is like "like" on the bird app. Right?

Is anyone else having a hard time making a post with attached images? I get stuck on the "processing" step but am never able to "publish". Wonder if the server(s) are overwhelmed again due to the massive flux of people?

Hi all, I figure I should introduce myself. Professionally, I'm an aquatic biogeochemist that focuses on nutrient cycling in wetlands, lakes, and estuaries (no water is off limits I guess). I'm also a stats and #rstats expert. Personally, I love to garden, Florida natives, and usual fruit & veg. Most likely you will get a smattering of all things.

#introduction

Howdy all. My name is Jeff Hollister. I am an ecologist and wanna be data scientist. I work for the USEPA and my work focuses on lakes, Harmful Algal Blooms with a lot of #rstats and #geospatial thrown in.

I am enjoying getting to know Mastodon. Feels like my very early days with that other site!

Hi new world ... taking the leap and joining this space. I'll slowly develop my profile like in the bird app
