"Bond’s work leaves behind an inconvenient lesson for an era of climate urgency: that speed is not a substitute for understanding, and that good intentions, applied without care, can erase ancient worlds as efficiently as neglect." A beautiful tribute to William Bond. Forever missed by many.

NCAR’s Mesa Lab is literally a science castle dedicated to understanding our planet in an open and collaborative way, and leading the world in that effort. We cannot let this happen.

I have been successful on my first DECRA attempt. What a great surprise. #DECRA Safeguarding Australia's most threatened plants in a drier and hotter world.

My latest: The Trump administration is not waiting for the next fiscal year -- or Congress -- to cut climate science at NOAA. A new document details the money it won't spend *this* year on climate research.

Does anyone have suggestions for (moderately priced) phenocams with an NIR band that are still being manufactured? I get the sense that the standard StarDot cameras are no longer being sold, but haven't found an alternative apart from Campbell's CCFC which looks amazing but is def not cheap.

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨 We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely! airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵 On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE). The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases: "not subject to appeal"

This directly affects land-grant universities and their stakeholders as well. UF’s Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation be wrecked if we lost our Co-op Unit.

Here is an article and a list of NOAA datasets expected to end and be unavailable in the next few weeks. Please make sure you get in and download what you need!! eos.org/research-and...

INPA procura candidato(a) para pós-doutorado no Projeto “Integrando a hidrologia do solo e características hidráulicas para entender os riscos de mortalidade às secas das árvores gigantes” com o projeto “GIGANTE” (www.caryinstitute.org/science/rese...). @treeco-db.bsky.social @evangora.bsky.social

In our new paper in @science.org, we show that tropical forests are changing over time, but too slowly to track climate change. Our article, led by @jeaggu.bsky.social just out: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @oxfordgeography.bsky.social @naturerecovery.bsky.social @forestplots.bsky.social

Are tropical forests in the Americas changing as adaptation to ongoing climate change? Yes, they are! Are these changes enough to track their suitable climate? Not quite! Check out our paper in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... to see more of what our network has been working on!

Join us in sunny South Australia! Postdoc position in my group at the University of Adelaide to use UAV LiDAR and remote sensing to examine forest recovery and responses to weather extremes: careers.adelaide.edu.au/cw/en/job/51...

I'd love to connect with anyone working in satellite remote sensing/earth observation! 🛰️🌏 I've started a list of everyone I've found so far - please let me know if you're missing from the list, or if there's anyone else I should add! go.bsky.app/4PMRhNL

This rather fantastic recent piece is a great illustration of the value of code review, as well as sensitivity analyses. doi.org/10.1038/s414... But I think it is particularly instructive as commentary on our scientific process today. 🧵

Air temperature and vapor pressure deficit are highly correlated, yet they can have somewhat opposed effects on photosynthesis. (1/2) nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

1. Let's talk about an absolute disaster in the US science ecosystem. The NIH's BRAIN (Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) suffered catastrophic budget cuts—under Biden, no less—and now is unlikely to fund any new grants and will likely cut funding to existing grantees.

PACE data now available! Just in – data from our newest Earth-observing satellite, PACE! With PACE data, scientists can study microscopic life in the ocean and particles in the air, allowing us to monitor ocean health, air pollution, and impacts of climate change. More: go.nasa.gov/4aNNGe2 🧪
