Hydrology Paper of the Day @agu.org on understanding linkages between climate change, wetlands and coastal delta formation: precipitation and flooding in an age of climate change; examining sediment in the context of a novel experimental lab-based delta basin; and LiDAR scans to examine morphologies

oh my GOD????????

Tal has given us the most delicious short fiction about the present moment I’ve seen anywhere Included: an illustration with a fuchsia fake fur (I presume it’s fake) that I would very much like to own for those especially trashy nights at the club

'These findings underscore the challenge of training AI models exclusively on historical data and highlight the need to account for such biases when applying them to future climate prediction' agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Ok let's do it: "Can this be a solution?" A thread.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today. You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: [email protected]

“We are just losing a lot of these wetlands silently, invisibly,” says Rafael Oliveira about the Cerrado. “They remain invisible in policy in Brazil & even for the global scientific community. They really deserve urgent, stronger protection & recognition at the global level.”

This overlooked ecosystem holds as much carbon as 20% of the Amazon Rainforest, according to a new analysis of its dense, wet soils. eos.org/articles/the...

"Beyond Ice: NASA’s ICESat-2 spaceborne lidar mission for land and vegetation applications" now out in IEEE. Really proud to have contributed to this effort led by Carlos Silva & Amy Neuenschwander showing potential for ICESat2 for vegetation/land applications ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/114...

"You and everyone you have ever loved being cast into the Cave of Nightmares? It’s hard to hear, but this alone could add as much as $0.25 per gallon."

In a retaliatory move to protect their dairy farmers, the University of Wisconsin is making a butter so firm yet airy you don’t need to wrap it around popcorn to eat it as a delicious snack. [This is a joke. At least until US News adds snack innovation to their rating metric]

Corpus Christi may run out of water next year, and they are praying for a hurricane to hit and dump 20-30” of rain. The water loss “impacts are going to be felt tremendously through the state, if not internationally.” Drought is climate change’s biggest threat.

INVITED MINI REVIEW Knowledge‐Guided Machine Learning for Global Change Ecology Research 🔗 buff.ly/7F9Qsu6

Some exciting news to share: very soon, NOAA Research will be hiring new federal employees into science positions across the agency! A couple of notes: 1) They will only be open on USAJobs for seven days. 2) Multiple positions at different sites may be in one posting. (1/2)

I'd love to talk to prospective postdocs who are thinking about the role of land in the climate system about applying! If that's you please reach out!

we talk about carcinization, but never about the many, many times plants have invented the “tree.” Tree is not a kind of plant, it is a thing plats do, and they are by and large unrelated.

While applying eco-evolutionary optimization, Erik also found that positive feedbacks in microbial models can cause microbial extinction. You can check if your model fulfills mathematical criteria for stable behavior here: doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...

The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

Researchers celebrate early results of a drug that may become the first treatment for a serious complication of pregnancy called preeclampsia. It's got the potential to save many lives.

I am hiring a postdoc @ Univ of Iowa. Potential project focuses include flood-risk infrastructure planning, disaster recovery processes and outcomes, insurance program externalities, or uncertainty in climate damage attribution. Please consider applying/sharing! jobs.uiowa.edu/postdoc/view...

“We’re one part of a larger movement to resist this sort of ‘doomerism’ mindset, and to show that recovery is possible .... we know that likely we’ll never return to that pristine image of the past. But we can gain something back.” 🌎🧪🌿 apnews.com/article/loui...

Hey folks, if you like stories about your heroes turning out to be bad people, and uh, like wizards and shit, I have a book out now.

Soil microbes grow, respire, die. Because their biomass eventually becomes necromass, and necromass can be stabilized in soil, growth rate emerges as a powerful predictor of soil carbon: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A study in subarctic Iceland finds microbes hoard nitrogen under higher temperatures, with effects on the whole ecosystem.

As sea levels rise, droughts grow and storms become more intense, saltier water has increasingly made its way into coastal woodlands from surrounding water bodies. In some places, forests have given way to shrubland.

The kids are not okay. ICE OUT! Walkout and March in Knoxville. #AbolishICE #ICEoutforGood
