For perspective: a recent study suggested that economic savings from just a *single* well-predicted hurricane, thanks to NOAA research advancements, are on order of *$5 billion.* That exceeds NOAA's *entire proposed annual operating budget.* So much for government efficiency.

Today I submitted the final report for my CAREER award granted after my start at @buearth.bsky.social. The project advanced our understanding of biosphere-atmosphere-chemistry interactions, funded so many trainees, and supported major expansions of the curriculum in our department. Thank you, NSF!

It's rather interesting, and immensely heart warming, to see how many Americans are posting congrats about the Canadian election. Haven't seen that before, but I understand why. And so many say "elbows up." It's nice when your friends get you.

I’m increasingly convinced that the love that powers long term climate action grows out of all the time we spend doing the things we love, in the places we love, with the people we love.
Without that, what are we fighting for?

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Another #AGU24 tease... I'm excited to share success we've had with ground-based remote sensing at four sites across the Boston area. Our Pandora network helps us carefully interpret unprecedented tropospheric pollution mapping from the TEMPO satellite instrument. Big effort with many collaborators.
