It's that time of year again (i.e., when @geographers.bsky.social CFP start streaming in)!

For #AAG2026, @urbanparksgirl.bsky.social, @jkhawes.bsky.social, and I are organizing a session on the politics of green space in a polarized world.

To take part, send us your abstract by Oct 26th 📧

Frosty commute appreciation post #Chicago #cta

(taken yesterday headed north on the brown line)

If you’re interested in #EO & #SocialScience kick off your #AGU24 with us tomorrow! We’ll be doing a walk through of the “Innovative Applications of Social Sciences to Advance Earth Observations and Remote Sensing” poster session from 8:45 to 9:30am

Check out the article to learn more (free access for 50 days) & if you're going to be at #AGU24, I'll be presenting this research on Monday!

Another notable finding: multi-family areas had an average of 8.5% pts less tree canopy than single-family with gaps as large as 18.6% (ahem Houston). I say "notable" because renter households with low income, who are disproportionately POC, are most likely to live in multi-family buildings. 🧵 5/8

We find that single-family residential areas typically supply more of the small patches (>1ha) of connected tree canopy that provide localized cooling, while parks are home to the large patches (>12ha) that provide habitat to support urban biodiversity. 🧵 4/8

We looked at tree canopy area and connectivity in 10 U.S. cities and found that—despite different climates, tree policies, and development patterns in these cities—the land uses with the greatest tree coverage were parks & single family residential areas (industrial land uses had the least). 🧵 2/8

Lots of research shows that #trees aren't distributed equally across #urban landscapes, but what are the drivers of tree inequality? In our #newarticle, we look at how *land use* mediates the distribution of trees.
