A devastating set of decisions on the part of UC leadership to withdraw support from our nationally recognized postdoc program that prioritizes research excellence combined with addressing our university public service mission. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Dr. Julie Edwards (@julieedtree.bsky.social) leads a new paper showing that high-resolution cellular-scale measurements (Quantitative Wood Anatomy) yield better temperature signals in Alaskan tree rings than even conventional MXD across all frequencies agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Thrilled our #AREES review on #Disturbance #Interactions is out! #ClimateChange = MAJOR DISRUPTER, but not how you’d expect 👀 #NewFramework: #CC effects on interactions🧪🌐🍁🌱 HUGE🙏4 legendary efforts: @rupertseidl.bsky.social @brian-j-harvey.bsky.social @julieedtree.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3p97ztr5

Climate change increasingly alters the interactions between forest disturbances. Here we present a framework for quantifying dist. interactions and compile evidence for their impacts.

It's been a blast kicking off my first research project in Yosemite this summer. I am so thankful to continue learning about the Sierra Nevada and for our outstanding team!

If you have cool research about climate over the last 2000 years, consider submitting your abstract to our session Climate of the Common Era at the 2025 AGU Fall Meeting #AGU25 #paleoclimate. The abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, July 30 at 23:59 EDT. agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr...

Excited to (finally) share my new paper on Pacific SST and western North America hydroclimate during the Holocene! TL;DR They are connected, CO2 and precession both affect hydroclimate. Thanks @xiaojingdu.bsky.social @meredithparish.bsky.social @baylorfk.bsky.social+others dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024...

The first chapter of my PhD thesis is officially published. If you're into conifers, climate change or cold acclimation then this paper is for you 🌿❄️ academic.oup.com/plphys/artic... As I wrap up my PhD this year, I'm also beginning the search for postdoc opportunities so keep me in mind

Final fieldwork of the season at Big Rock Creek in SoCal was made much cooler by the monsoon rolling in! This site is part of my project using tree rings to reconstruct atmospheric rivers in SoCal, but maybe there’s a monsoon story hiding in the wood too 👀

Now published in @agu.org Geophysical Research Letters! What happens to marine archaea when they’re hungry? And what does that mean for the TEX₈₆ paleothermometer? Full paper here: doi.org/10.1029/2025... Thanks to my coauthors and mentors for their support — and stay tuned, more is coming!

2 PhD positions in dendroclimatology! cordis.europa.eu/project/id/1... The project is centered around working up millennium-long wood anatomical datasets to reconstruct temperature. web103.reachmee.com/ext/I005/103... Deadline 30th of June. For questions, contact: [email protected]

Epic (hot!!) day on #MtFig coring bigcone Douglas-fir for @julieedtree.bsky.social amazing #NSF postdoc research! These ladies are such badasses (and such good vibes!). W/ @michelledmohr.bsky.social @olross.bsky.social Stay tuned for updates on historical patterns of atmospheric rivers in #socal!

Quantitative wood anatomy measurements for the win! This time when using subfossil wood - 'Tree-Ring Anatomy Improves the Reliability of Temperature Reconstructions Using Relict Wood' agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Fieldwork this past weekend with the AMAZING @olross.bsky.social and Dervla Meegan-Kumar in the Cleveland National Forest. NSF-funded, I’m using tree-ring width to reconstruct atmospheric river variability in Southern California, which will help us better prepare for future storms in the region.

Can we use paleo for detection and attribution of drought without a climate model? Yes! New work led by @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, with me and some old guy. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

And in another new paper out today, lead author Cari Leland shows how tree-ring proxies and wood anatomy track a transient synoptic scale cold snap across northwestern North American in the late summer (late July to early August) of 1959 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Congratulations to @kiradharris.bsky.social who leads a new paper in Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology on last millennium SSTs in the Gulf of California and leaf wax evidence for North American Monsoon variability agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I got to write a 'Tools of the Trade’ article about quantitative wood anatomy a little bit ago. Check it out for an accessible summary of how measuring wood cells is improving our understanding of past climate!
