Why we need a National Climate Assessment --

“For thousands of years, we humans have been making decisions based on the past: like driving down the road looking in the rear view mirror. But now, thanks entirely to human actions, we're facing a curve in the road greater than humans have ever seen.”

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨

We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely!

Does anyone know of attempts to mount eddy covariance systems directly to a tree canopy (extending 10-15m above) as an alternative to tower installation?

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

Happy to be at BlueSky, looking forward to leaving twitter behind :D. Sharing my SciFri interview to celebrate.
In some forests, canopy soil is formed way up above the ground. Jessica Murray, a Ph.D. at Utah State University, says that she’s seen an entirely unique world residing on the tops of trees in Costa Rica. 🧪
