Congratulations @julieedtree.bsky.social on this cutting-edge research, out today #AGUpubs!

High-resolution tree-ring data are dramatically improving our ability to estimate past climate. We’re now much closer to accurately tracking temperature changes—both today and across history!

Dr. Julie Edwards (@julieedtree.bsky.social) leads a new paper showing that high-resolution cellular-scale measurements (Quantitative Wood Anatomy) yield better temperature signals in Alaskan tree rings than even conventional MXD across all frequencies agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Resolution and Frequency‐Dependent Climate Signals in an Arctic Tree‐Ring Temperature Reconstruction of the Last Millennium

That's a wrap on my first field season as a graduate student! Extremely proud of this all star crew for navigating tough shrubs + tricky terrain all summer, and already looking forward to next season. Grateful for all the support and field help this summer!

Really excited to share our new paper on #causalinference & #climatechange attribution out in #EcologyLetters today!

Are you asking "how much" or "if" climate change has impacted your system, then this paper is for you!

It's been a blast kicking off my first research project in Yosemite this summer. I am so thankful to continue learning about the Sierra Nevada and for our outstanding team!
Wading through #highseverityfire shrub patches all day has its perks when it's in #Yosemite!!! @olross.bsky.social is pushing boundaries in the field and in her research designs! #womeninwilderness #thisladyisbadass 🍁🌱🧪🌍

Epic (hot!!) day on #MtFig coring bigcone Douglas-fir for @julieedtree.bsky.social amazing #NSF postdoc research! These ladies are such badasses (and such good vibes!). W/ @michelledmohr.bsky.social @olross.bsky.social Stay tuned for updates on historical patterns of atmospheric rivers in #socal!

I had a wonderful time learning all about @julieedtree.bsky.social amazing project this past weekend!
Fieldwork this past weekend with the AMAZING @olross.bsky.social and Dervla Meegan-Kumar in the Cleveland National Forest. NSF-funded, I’m using tree-ring width to reconstruct atmospheric river variability in Southern California, which will help us better prepare for future storms in the region.
