You still have 5 days to apply for this awesome postdoc opportunity in the Environmental Data Science Innovation & Impact Lab at the University of Colorado-Boulder! This could be your backyard!
Image of five slanted rock formations (called the Flatirons) in the snow on a sunny day. There is a trail through the snow leading away towards the rock formations, which rise above some trees.

New paper from me + @lauradee.bsky.social on using causal inference methods and concepts in ecology! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (1/5)
Two directed acyclic graphs showing causal relationships. The first shows a simple relationship between the presence of rare plant species (x), illustrated with icons of individual plants, and grassland productivity (y), illustrated with icons of grasses. There is an arrow going from x to y. The second shows the same relationship, but this time with omitted variables (u). The omitted variables include observed omitted variables (like precipitation) and unobserved omitted variables (like legacies of agricultural activity). These are illustrated with an icon of a rain cloud, a fence, and a shovel. There are dashed arrows going from the omitted variables to both x and y.
