Happy to share that the first chapter of my PhD was published earlier this week in Biogeosciences! 🎉
Using a DGVM, we looked at joint and separate effects of changes in climate vs. disturbance regimes on boreal forests 🌲🌳🌲❄️

This weeks' #TidyTuesday looked at the number of #munros (type of 🏔️) in Scotland over time. I utilized my PhD here, using an alpha-stable distribution to add texture to the mountain outline: The heavy tails create a more 'rugged' profile than the Gaussian noise I used for the snow- and tree line. ❄️🌲

Some scans from the #Mojave capturing typical scenes of post-fire recovery: Burnt juvenile #JoshuaTree that is resprouting from the base. Burnt, toppled Joshua Trees and lots of grass within the burn scar. Unburned Joshua Tree woodland in the background. #canon #kodakgold #NationalParks

As a physicist I can easily calculate time dilation from relativistic motion (time slows when you're moving fast) or proximity to a massive object (time slows in gravity) but I have yet to find a solution for emotional time dilation (the task takes five minutes to complete but six weeks to start) 🫠

Seems fair to me, they really should work on reimbursing people faster! Got reimbursed last week for travel I took in July of 2024 🙃 And there where times during my PhD when my university owed me four-digits amounts in reimbursement which is a lot of money to not have a a grad student.
The fact that European institutions take months to issue reimbursements, coupled with Trump's actions causing the US dollar to fall against the euro (and other currencies), means that I'm getting back more than I spent. 🫠
