With my teaching job at Concordia finished at the end of April, my supervisor at McGill told me that she had some money left to employ me during May, which I find extremely kind of her. I currently finish a manuscript on a field campaign that I have conducted in South-Western Quebec; one in a National park in in the Laurentians, a 2-hour drive north of Montreal, and one in a nature reserve 1 hour east of Montreal, 2 quite different environments with regard to closeness to the city, altitude and vegetation.
I have been working on this manuscript for a while and rewritten large parts of it in order to make is less descriptive and more focused concerning the results and their interpretation; I was able to add a few aspects that came up during discussions at EGU last April as well, so in the end I hope for a good quality manuscript.
I have also started writing up the results from the Alert field campaign. After several talks, posters and discussions on an international level, I am very confident about my data and the results that I have obtained. With all the suggestions and ideas that I have received I have a very clear idea, where this manuscript will go.
