A new study in Nature Climate Change shows contrasting biological production trends over land and ocean. Led by Yulong Zhang at Duke. I am glad to be part of the team. The last study that looked at production over both land and ocean was published in 1998.

Came across aspen oyster mushrooms while walking in the woods on Sunday.

As 2024 comes to a close in the blink of an eye, I hope that everyone has enjoyed a year filled with accomplishments and joy. Wishing you all good health, happiness with your loved ones, and even greater success in the year ahead.

I visited a Google office in DC during the AGU week. Glad to see Google is supporting climate change related research with its technical and financial resources. (btw, we had lunch at Google, and the food is good.)

So, time flies. I started working at UNH in December 2009. It’s been 15 years—hard to believe! I’ve truly enjoyed my time here. That being said, after so many years, I’m not sure if it’s time to move on. Maybe it is?
