Working on a talk slide that may irritate every other scientist in the room... with apologies to @xkcd.com
A reworking of xkcd's "Fields arranged by purity" cartoon, with the scientists ranging from land surface modelers (least pure) to ecologists to soil chemists (most pure)

High school intern Betel presents her research on how the VPD-sap flow relationship in tulip trees is affected by saltwater inundation. She learned a lot of #rstats and plant physiology with me this summer! 💪

Today’s meeting with intern Pablo started by discussing LUC and other carbon fluxes and somehow segued into a calculation of the Chicxulub asteroid’s kinetic energy on impact 🦖

One wonderful thing about conferences like #EGU25 is the sheer serendipity — an unexpected lunch with someone you didn’t know, where the conversation starts on science but wanders to language, motorcycles, rock climbing, and the complicated history of Eiernockerl.

Three of us coring trees in the TEMPEST forest flooding experimental plots this morning
Three men in forest, each turning an increment borer into a tree to extract a core for sampling. The shadows are long and illuminate boardwalk on the forest floor. It's a cold spring morning and all the men have hats and gloves.
