I'm excited to share this work led by Lynn Riley investigating albedo impacts from afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation projects. We hope the findings will guide future projects in the fight against climate change. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Accounting for albedo in carbon market protocols - Nature Communications
The paper analyzes the impact of omitting biophysical effects from carbon credits on climate mitigation. It shows that some Voluntary Carbon Market projects may result in net warming due to albedo while others enhance cooling.

Featured on the cover of @globalchangebio.bsky.social is a thermal image of Elaeocarpus Grandis taken at @jcuofficial.bsky.social Daintree Rainforest Observatory. In this species we find that populations originating from warmer climates have narrower leaves with higher rates of water loss.

Excited to be a co-author on this new paper led by Daphna Uni! We show how sap flow + thermal camera together reveal conifer drought responses.
Happy to share a new lab @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social paper: "Drought Response in Three Conifer Species Detected by Sap Flow and Proximal Thermal Remote Sensing" led by the amazing Daphna Uni w/ @mostafaj.bsky.social others @uarizona.bsky.social agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

This is a great opportunity for US based early career scientists to build international research collaborations. Please spread the word.
The 2026 FLUXNET Secondment Program is open for applications!

The program supports extended visits of 2 - 6 weeks for early career scientists based in U.S. institutions to an international host institution to conduct research with eddy covariance data.

📢 Attention PhenoCam Network users: My latest study in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology shows that even after the old camera was discontinued, phenology records stay consistent with new hardware, ensuring continuity in long-term phenology monitoring. 📷

Seasonal stabilization effects slowed the greening of the Northern Hemisphere over the last two decades - Nature Communications
Rising CO₂ and warming enhance vegetation greening, but drought, heat stress, and resource limits constrain this trend. Here, the authors show that within a year, increased early- and peak- season gre...
