I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

Applications will open up Jan 1 for this intense 2-week course in isotopes! Come to University of Utah, learn lots about geospatial modelling, do some fieldwork, and learn from instructors all over the world!
I'll also be there, if that's a bonus for anyone 🧪

Help us raise $4K in the next few days to let a DACA graduate student stay enrolled in our program. All levels of support welcome.
Fellow geographers, Atlantans & anybody else... 

Please consider chipping in to this fundraiser for one of our new grad students, who is being denied a tuition waiver by the university at the last minute b/c of his DACA status.

Notes from your friendly neighbourhood disaster person:

It stings professionally how difficult I’m finding it to stay on top of disaster news this summer, but it’s really fucking ominous how hard it is to get latest info or check specific details even when deliberately searching.

In a new essay, @jeffcorbin.bsky.social, Meg Duffy, @carlyziter.bsky.social and I talk about the urgent need to move beyond "it's real, it's bad, it's us" approaches to climate education, instead sharing pathways to climate action that engage and empower, while fighting the immobility of despair.
Climate Education That Builds Hope and Agency, Not Fear - Eos
Reframing climate change education around a message of “hopeful alarm” not only will underscore the threats we face but will also show students how they can act to shape the future.
