We'll be watching the State of the Union and keeping an eye out for mentions of science, climate, and environmental policy. President Trump will start his speech at 9 p.m. EST. Follow along with us 👉 🧵

Not a red light on REDD+, but a new study suggests it's worth a re-evaluation, especially the discourse surrounding carbon credits. eos.org/articles/red... Read more in our February theme collection: eos.org/themes/carbo...

President Trump will deliver his State of the Union address tonight in front of Congress and the country. Ahead of the speech, take a look back at how the U.S. science enterprise was affected during the past year in our report, “The State of the Science 1 Year On.” 🧵 eos.org/report/the-s...

“We came to realize that with our expertise, we can generate innovative ideas that advance science at the intersections between disciplines.”

Right now, two seismometers are slowly freezing into the Antarctic Ice Sheet, housed in boreholes that extend a mile and a half below the surface.

Ecological forecasts are increasingly vital today as we face rapid environmental changes and catastrophic biodiversity losses, write @jzwart.bsky.social #USGS + colleagues from @neracoos.bsky.social, #NOAA, #NASA, and @bostonu.bsky.social. 🧪 eos.org/science-upda...

West Nile virus can lead to a potentially fatal neuroinvasive infection. Scientists are taking a regional approach to improve modeling and forecasting of the virus.

The solar energy trapped by greenhouse gases is increasing faster than predicted, according to an analysis published in @aguadvances.bsky.social eos.org/editor-highl...

Scientists at @noaa.gov, CIRES, the University of Minnesota, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed an innovative model that uses weather and climate data to forecast West Nile Virus in the U.S. Read the research spotlight from @eos.org ⬇️ eos.org/research-spo...

Experiences from @glp-earth.bsky.social offer lessons and steps—especially for early-career scholars—for finding or building supportive communities that span fields and sectors, foster belonging, and spark scientific innovation.

Just as astronomers seek dark skies, seismologists crave quiet spaces. Two new seismometers have found such a quiet deep within ice at the South Pole. eos.org/articles/the...

South Africa has a long record of publishing tornado research, but Malawi has limited capacity to track and document tornadoes. Sosten Chiotha is an environmental scientist who published the country’s first paper about local tornadoes in 2017. #BlackHistoryMonth

West Nile virus can lead to a potentially fatal neuroinvasive infection. Scientists are taking a regional approach to improve modeling and forecasting of the virus.

In Finland, rewetting forestry-drained peatlands could yield climate benefits within decades, a new study by @teemutahvanainen.bsky.social in @restorationecology.bsky.social suggests.

Dr. Navin Ramankutty explains that as more researchers connect across disciplinaries, science will be better able to pursue solutions that address complex, urgent problems to secure livelihoods, food security and to safeguard our planet’s environmental health. Learn more: eos.org/opinions/cre...

"High levels of mercury exposure cause human health harms, including impairment to the nervous system, brain damage and developmental delays in children. Coal plants are responsible for nearly half of the United States’ mercury emissions, according to the EPA."

Last week, the Olympic Winter Games saw its first enforcement of a ban on ski and snowboard waxes containing PFAS when multiple athletes were disqualified after their equipment was tested for the chemicals.

Matthew Henson was an explorer who spent a total of 18 years on expeditions to the Arctic—including a 1908-1909 expedition that may have been the first to reach the geographic North Pole. #BlackHistoryMonth

#PFAS have crashed the Olympic party. Why is this news? Our collection on “forever chemicals” helps put things in perspective: eos.org/tag/pfas

Why do streaks of bright material trickle down into Mercury’s craters? A new theory blames impacts that release trapped gas.

Kilauea erupting again right now. Fountains so big, it's erupting right off the screen. New reports say 375 m (1200 ft) high, but it might be higher now. Looks like it's raining, which can affect tephra density. #hawaii #volcano
