At times it feels as though our world is dividing in two. Some say its between the haves and the have nots but I don’t feel its as much about money as its about consciousness. You can have money while being kind and you can have extreme wealth while being cruel. For me if differences prevail it’s more about having awareness. Experiencing water in natural settings helps me find the present moment in consciously living.

As dimensional frequencies rise causing chaos, the dysfunctional patriarchy will crumble. Many are experiencing their social circles changing because they no longer align. Counteracting isolation is possible by spending time in Nature while you form new social circles. Rebuilding a sense of Community through shared values and common goals is very important.

[anecdotally, I have experienced this scuba diving in a drysuit in WA and BC, especially in freshwater, so it is wonderful to see some background]

New Earth is manifesting with geographical and solar changes. As part of the Earth’s creative process, energetic frequencies are raising. What is not in tune or in harmony with these higher frequencies will not be supported. The shifts occurring are welcoming Divine Feminine energies as the old patriarchal beliefs and structures fall away. This alchemy of Creation is palpable. Allow the Light to flow through you and ride the waves of rebirth through the breath. It’s a process and requires time. “Creation” (C)2025 Karen Ollis https://www.ollisphoto.net #KarenOllisPhoto #FLOW #FINEARTPHOTOGRAPHY #NATURE #FRESHWATER  #CONSERVATION

📘 New #DynaTrait synthesis paper online, led by Ellen van Velzen: "Flexibility in Aquatic Food Web Interactions: Linking Scales and Approaches"

Read it here: link.springer.com/article/10.1

SpringerLinkFlexibility in Aquatic Food Web Interactions: Linking Scales and Approaches - EcosystemsTrophic interactions determine food web structure and influence biodiversity, community structure, ecosystem functioning, and food web responses to global change. These interactions are highly flexible, changing on temporal scales from diurnal to evolutionary times due to phenotypic plasticity, rapid evolution and species sorting. Small-scale experimental and theoretical studies of plankton interactions have demonstrated a high relevance of this flexibility for community dynamics and ecosystem processes in small, simplified communities. However, the extent to which this flexibility affects larger-scale systems, for example, global ocean dynamics and their responses to global change, is still poorly understood. Differences in methodology, focus and terminology between research disciplines limit our ability to project established effects of flexible trophic interactions onto larger spatial and temporal scales. We propose to bridge this gap with a general framework for upscaling knowledge from small-scale research to large-scale models. Building on examples from plankton communities, we use this framework to show how mechanisms demonstrated in small-scale studies can be linked to ecosystem functions relevant at large scales. We argue for incorporating flexibility in large-scale process-based models to improve their realism and predictive power, and discuss challenges and ways forward for achieving this. Finally, we suggest several concrete ways for upscaling small-scale studies to make their findings more relevant for large-scale research, to close existing knowledge gaps and to improve our understanding of how flexible trophic interactions affect dynamics and processes across scales.

Fresh Water is one of the most important resources that we have on Earth.

World Water Day was a day designated by the UN to remind us of the importance of caring for it.

Climate Change is creating havoc with our water. There is either too much, too little or both. Melting glaciers and icecaps are threatening the futures of billions of people.

Water is another of those key issues facing humanity.
