Excited that our work on nature-based climate solutions and #NLP is being shared on #TheAcademicMinute on @npr.org — thanks to everyone who made this opportunity possible. academicminute.org/charlotte-ch... Shout-out to my co-authors (on BSky): @jterbaugh.bsky.social @berobinson.bsky.social

The data on the positive impacts of visiting, appreciating, and being near natural areas keeps rolling in!

Understand science funding cuts and their consequences … Economists have warned that cutting federal funding for scientific research could, in the long run, damage the U.S. economy by an amount equivalent to a major recession. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Another useful and important piece on AI and NLP for conservation evidence led by @harpactes.bsky.social!

Excellent new paper maps potential future terrestrial ecosystems to 2050 based on projected climate, land cover change, and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs): www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... led by Roger Sayre (USGS) and colleagues Patrick Roehrdanz (CI) and Paul Elsen (WCS) among others

Exactly! Should we be worried about climate change? Heck, yes. (But let’s make sure we get the facts right, and skip the most extreme doomer yarns — which aren’t based in science…) Should that freeze us into inaction? Heck, no! It should lead to agency and action!

Getting carbon markets right requires understanding local impacts of global offset projects. #climatefinance #carbonmarkets #carbonoffsets with Yuta Masuda, @harpactes.bsky.social, and @jterbaugh.bsky.social communities.springernature.com/posts/gettin...

Was looking for this starter pack! So very glad that @markandrachuk.bsky.social put it together. Looking forward to getting those tailored #consocsci posts and (especially) publication updates. No longer feeling nostalgic for Old Twitter, just pleased with New Bluesky!

The impacts of natural climate solutions: we analyzed millions of scientific studies for a comprehensive analysis of *what* evidence exists for NCS and impacts to people and nature. New work out in @naturesustain.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s418... #ncs #naturebasedsolutions 🧪 #NLP #ConservationAI

#NaturalClimateSolutions try to address global climate problems, but how do they impact local communities? We review what we know from >250 K articles in work with @harpactes.bsky.social, @jterbaugh.bsky.social, and many others (not yet here!) is just out in @naturesustain.bsky.social rdcu.be/d10Nh

In our research (out today in @naturesustain.bsky.social), we provide a comprehensive evidence map for the co-impacts from #NaturalClimateSolutions using large language models (in addition to other interesting models!) to synthesize information from >250 K articles. rdcu.be/d10Nh

Despite 15+ years of #REDD+ readiness, progress toward recognition of community rights lags. Do countries recognize community rights to #carbon? Policy brief just out with RRI: ow.ly/wevj50U6vCV #COP29 #Article6

This week @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social, we began our last “Environment and Society” class with Wendell Berry. After, a student told me, ”I didn’t know I needed that.” Leaving this here in case you might need it, too.
