Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.
The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

Excellent summary of the work I contributed to in @esm2025.bsky.social, an EU-funded project that ends this year. Here are my key take-aways in a 🧵 , but I recommend reading this Research Highlight if you want to know more!
Several papers are in preparation from this work, so stay tuned.

Can we really count on land to deliver climate mitigation?
Our new highlight unpacks what AR/BECCS can do — and where uncertainties bite (carbon stocks, permanence, local climate effects).
