We’ve got a new publication out in Environmental Communication. We analyzed media coverage during the LA fires to find the dominant frames used to talk about California’s long-term water challenges. The case was a collision of both emergent threat and chronic crisis

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

Happy new year to all, but especially to the un- (and under-) employed. We’ve got the creativity and resilience we need to make this world better in 2026, whether or not capitalism acknowledges it!

Tonight I’m sharing this painted stone of the Seven Whistlers. Years ago, when people heard the Whistlers flying at night, they thought of it as a bad omen. Sailers would refuse to sail the next day, and miners would avoid the mines.

Testing a new tune of two tone granulating color I just got! I love the tone so much. Already thinking about purchasing a bigger tube. On a side note: My paintings should really be more diverse. I paint too much snow lol

Can't wait for the conversation!!!
Here's a science book I'm very excited about for 2026: @berondam.bsky.social's When Trees Testify, which promises a truly #BLACKandSTEM book experience.
Also for Boston area folks, stay tuned for details about the two of us in conversation about it . . .

RIP Claude 😢
It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

Oh, seeing now that Kai Erikson passed away last month. “Everything in its Path” was really formative to me early on in grad school, and when I decided to study Paradise after the Camp Fire. It’s probably become more relevant than even he could have imagined…an important legacy to leave behind.
