How can we model temporal or spatial dependence to simulate complex environmental systems? @huong-le.bsky.social Copula-based Cosimulation as a tool for improving predictions. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... #EnvironmentalModeling @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social

🧪 Excited to share a new paper: “Vegetation type and climate determine temperature thresholds of soil respiration” in Soil Biology & Biochemistry. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Thanks to Maria Almargo and collaborators for this work! #soilrespiration #drylands #carboncyclescience

⭐️Nominate an Impactful Dataset @agu.org invites you to nominate an impactful dataset! 📊Submissions will be considered for inclusion in an upcoming featured commentary published in AGU Advances. Submit nominations by 20 October. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... @agubiogeosciences.bsky.social

☀️New research in Environmental Research Letters We show how climate limits the CO₂ fertilization effect on forest productivity. Warming may ease this in boreal zones, but tropical forests face a tougher tradeoff. Read here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... #ClimateScience #Forests #CarbonCycle

New paper with an incredible group of colleagues ✅ @cleanaircatf.bsky.social

@cleanaircatf.bsky.social convened a group of forest carbon experts and we reviewed carbon offset protocols for improved forest management projects in North America. The paper is out today in Earth's Future. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

New publication from PhD student Manan Sarupria in #RSE. A novel spectral unmixing method for high-accuracy land cover quantification. Read the full paper (free for 50 days!): authors.elsevier.com/a/1kZmn_o69J...

Great opportunity for early career scientists!!!! Nominate an ECS by February 7th 😎 @agubiogeosciences.bsky.social

Here's our annual alumni meal photo at #agu24 The group cleaned up nicely, eh? Great to see everyone @jdfuentes.bsky.social @drbenrunkle.bsky.social @youngryel.bsky.social @vargaslab.bsky.social @jbfisher.bsky.social @arman-ahmadi.bsky.social @pattyoikawa.bsky.social @etechlab.bsky.social

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster yesterday at #AGU24! Almost four straight hours of non-stop talking, and I loved every minute of it. Science is fun, especially when you get to share it with others #Biogeosciences #VargasLab @vargaslab.bsky.social @geolatinas.bsky.social

Hi, meet @huong-le.bsky.social postdoc at #VargasLab Fantastic work developing algorithms to optimize sampling designs 🤯 For example check out his work on an autocorrelated conditioned Latin hypercube method for temporal or spatial sampling and predictions www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hi, meet @cruz-rosmery.bsky.social graduate student in #VargasLab Also, it will be great to connect Rosmery with @geolatinas.bsky.social

I am deeply honored and thrilled to serve as the next President-Elect of the Biogeosciences section of the American Geophysical Union (#AGU). Excited to contribute to advancing our field and supporting this incredible community! www.agu.org/learn-about-...

Eddy Fluxes and micromet just formed go.bsky.app/QjA83fc And ecohydrology Nice to see these affinity groups forming. This may end up better than the blue bird with the momentum i see. Spread the word to those who have not migrated

Happy to see more people and activity in this app!

I am excited to be part of the DOE’s Biological and Environmental Research Advisory Committee. www.udel.edu/academics/co...

Today I listen to a sad story… A faculty member abused their power to undermine an excellent, hard working and honest staff member. What is disheartening is….

A friendly reminder that #Equity is not the same as equality

Finland group downgrades 60 journals 🧐 retractionwatch.com/2024/06/28/f...

I am very proud of working with Elizabeth Smith. She has worked on predicting soil nitrogen and soil respiration across North America and globally 😎 She is a #NSF GRF 🎉 She is an awesome science communicator and advocate for minorities in #STEM 💪

Today’s email message made my day…. “What I learned in your class has helped me a lot in my career” 😎

‘Devastating’ NSF funding cuts present a ‘national security issue,’ officials tell House panel. fedscoop.com/nsf-funding-...

Our annual earthleadership fellows meet.. so amazing to hang out and do vision planning with these amazing folks @hormiga.bsky.social @careylab.bsky.social

New open dataset of soil moisture across North America. Biweekly estimates at 250m resolution 👇 doi.org/10.3334/ORNL...

Publishit or perish Is this the new academic standard?

Salt marshes can produce large amounts of methane www.udel.edu/udaily/2024/...

When and where to measure is a fundamental methodological challenge. We introduce the “autocorrelated conditioned Latin hypercube” to aid in experimental design and model predictions Open access. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Researchers Develop Mexico’s First Comprehensive Greenhouse Gas Budget A new study delves into 2 decades of data to create a comprehensive quantification of carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide sources and sinks that could help guide climate policy.

A Greenhouse Gas Budget for Mexico During 2000–2019 There are large differences in the estimates of CO2 capture and limited information on aquatic ecosystems (eg., CH4 emission from wetlands) and lateral fluxes (eg., emissions from trade). agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Soils in salt marshes can have VERY HIGH methane concentrations. But where does this methane go? 🧐 Check out this new research👇 tinyurl.com/59um62zb
