The Tumber-Dávila Lab and Michael Cox are looking for a postdoctoral Fellow to join the Environmental Studies Department at Dartmouth through the Society of Fellows Program 🌎🧪🌳🍁 apply.interfolio.com/176741

In 2018, 5 other grad students + I teamed up to combine our interdisciplinary backgrounds (landscape ecology, remote sensing, human-environment geography + more) to study deforestation dynamics in the Amazon’s protected areas. In 2025, we've all graduated but we’re still thinking about this question

25 years after the World Commission on Dams reckoned with the socio-environmental impacts of dams, we are in the midst of another dam boom, causing lots of conflict around the world. We just published an open-access review of dam conflicts post-2000 in World Development. Pdf and thread👇

Increases in wildfires are expected to cause a notable increase in premature deaths, according to two studies in Nature. go.nature.com/4mynauQ go.nature.com/4nJoxI5 #medsky ⚒️ 🧪

TODAY is the deadline to submit public comment on Trump’s proposal to rescind the Roadless Rule, which would expose 45 million acres of national forest to permanent roads and their attendant environmental ills. Register your disapproval here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... #roadecology

We have an awesome new colleague in @cires.colorado.edu + @cugeography.bsky.social, @emconsidine.bsky.social! She uses machine learning, causal inference, + biostatistics to study environmental health, including air quality + extreme heat. Learn more about her work here: ellenconsidine.github.io

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher.

You still have 5 days to apply for this awesome postdoc opportunity in the Environmental Data Science Innovation & Impact Lab at the University of Colorado-Boulder! This could be your backyard!

We're recruiting!! Myself along with Nathan Gill, Dylan Schwilk @schwilk.org, and Katharine Suding are recruiting people for Master's, PhD, and postdoc positions in GrassFire, an NSF funded project examining fuels and fire risk in grassland ecosystems across the Southern Great Plains! 🔥🌿🐮

Exciting postdoc opportunities at the Environmental Data Science Innovation & Impact Lab at University of Colorado-Boulder!

i'm a trans professor and this is our first week of classes for the fall- my big joy this week is that i'm back in the classroom teaching genetics to 35 students and a senior/grad course to another 10, and all of them are just wonderful and engaged ❤️

We're proud to celebrate excellence in #conservation science! Each year, @conbiology.bsky.social honors outstanding contributions with our Rising Star Award, most cited papers + highest Altmetric scores. Congratulations and thank you to all our authors for your vital work!

The Environmental Data Science Innovation + Impact Lab (@cu-esiil.bsky.social) is hiring postdocs! Exciting opportunity to join a vibrant community of scholars using environmental data science to answer urgent, interdisciplinary questions jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta...

ESIIL is now accepting applications for working groups. These groups play a pivotal role by pooling knowledge and expertise from various disciplines to tackle environmental issues with a data-driven perspective. Visit our website to learn more: esiil.org/working-groups

Really excited to share our new paper on #causalinference & #climatechange attribution out in #EcologyLetters today! Are you asking "how much" or "if" climate change has impacted your system, then this paper is for you! 🧪🌏🌐🍁🌺🌱🌿 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🚨Published today🚨We highlight 3 areas to support Indigenous-led fire: sustained funding, regulatory flexibility, & community partnerships 🔥🌿 #goodfire #wildfire #Indigenous

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

If you work on climate change and health, but are striking out in the current funding landscape, this might be the job for you. We're looking for someone who can do a lot of work in one year to launch something big. If you think that's you, take a look at our lab website, and then drop me an email:

Applications are open for SFI's 2026 Complexity Postdoctoral Fellowships If you’ve recently earned a Ph.D. in any scientific field and want to pursue independent, transdisciplinary research, consider applying. Deadline: October 1, 2025 Apply here: santafe.edu/sfifellowship

Judaism: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary.” To claim condemning wrongdoing is “anti-Semitic” is to claim Judaism would remain mute at & allow for horrific violence against others. I cannot imagine a more anti-Semitic idea than that.

This WaPo reporting on how Israel is starving Palestinian children and babies to death is almost too painful to read. We are funding this.

"Wasting Away" in Gaza: Oxfam, 100+ Groups Decry Israel's "Man-Made" Mass Starvation of Palestinians

This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about the Caleb Scholars program. We give students funds to return home to learn from elders as they go to school, and we find undergrads though professional/PhD programs bc I know how hard it was to return home during grad school. www.calebscholars.org

Building something new is possible. Never forget that.

The Dept of Commerce has forced the NOAA C&GC program (which supported my postdoc) to furlough their postdocs. Postdocs are at a precarious career stage - folks move across the country/world, often w/o much of a local support network

I cannot understate how appalling and helpless it feels as a Jew that this is being done under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

6/6 I'll end here with our conceptual model showing that a) fires were historically more prevalent yet served as a stabilizing feedback to ecosystems and humans by reducing fuel loads and risk of higher severity wildfires and b) contemporary fires are now destabilizing to forests and people.

Many, many people are reaching out with questions about the impact of the LA fires on their homes and environment. There are some things we can say based on the research that was done after the Marshall Fire in Colorado. Here is a short thread to summarize what was learned. @ciresnews.bsky.social

Wildlife contributes to human well-being and values in visible and invisible ways that are under-recognized or dominated by conflict narratives. We review these critical contributions and what research and policy is needed to protect them: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I would add: It never meant that 1.49 was safe, and 1.51 was all over. Rather, the conclusions of the IPCC 1.5C report were clear:

“1.5C was never the difference between safety + ruin, between hope + despair. It was negotiated by govts trying to answer a big q: What’s the highest global temp increase — and associated level of dangers — societies should strive to avoid?” Well said @zhonggg.bsky.social & @bradplumer.bsky.social

Hey all! 🦋 A really lovely group of co-authors and I wrote this recent piece for the special issue @society4conbio.bsky.social.

Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel. We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration. We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.

Re-sharing a thread before I delete it from x because I think it’s a useful one: In a work email, we had a fantastic thread about the use of "stakeholder" — many collaborators have stated they do not want this term used, and scholarship has supported this.
