Notice how black the smoke from this fire in a plastics recycling plant. The emissions from burning urban fuels definitely look different from #wildfires. #airquality #blackcarbon #urbanfire www.foxnews.com/us/shocking-...

I am excited to co-chair this exciting session at #HEIAC26 on Tuesday. This will be a great discussion about the use of satellite observations to help us examine air quality and public health impacts.

#SXSW has been so inspiring! I’ve met so many new and interesting people, and have so many great new ideas and connections! I’m really energized! Plus, I got to see a lot of weird stuff.

It’s been fabulous to be a part of this year’s #SXSW! We had a interesting and interactive panel this morning on Climate research, innovation, and industry. It was a great and engaging group, the panel and the audience!

Also, Brigitta Rongstad wrote a news release at cires.colorado.edu/news/house-fires-release-harmful-compounds-air.

this is a very cool - and important study! This type of information is needed to understand the emissions from fires in the WUI - to protect people and to understand their impacts.

Come join us at the CSU Little Shop of Physics Open House💫 This event is FREE and open to the public, welcoming curious minds of all ages! 🗓️ Sunday, March 1, 2026, from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm 📍CSU Lory Student Center, Fort Collins, CO

It is great to be a part of this team to address the air quality emissions from fires in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). news.ucar.edu/133058/wildf...

This is a shocking executive order that undermines the very idea of open inquiry. It turns federal grants into dispensations, subject to arbitrary and capricious withdrawal should the recipient say or believe the wrong things. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I am so sad to see this. This organization is essential for understanding pollution and its impacts. The people who work there are incredibly dedicated, experienced, and world leaders. This is incredible loss of national investment and capacity. www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

Thank you, @noaa.gov Many of the founding fathers kept weather records NOAA is more American than Apple pie, which started in England

Not a word of this is true. Literally not a word.

The computer pipeline carrying critical weather and climate data is set to go off line at midnight April 30. My @bloomberg.com colleague @laurenthal.bsky.social has the story here: www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #climate #weather #extremeweather #wx

This is a good read to learn about the importance of NOAA and it's Cooperative Institutes (including @cires.colorado.edu !) the US has invested so much!!

🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵 On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE). The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases: "not subject to appeal"

One aspect I feel isn't covered enough is that the idiotic budget cuts at NOAA would throw away literally BILLIONS of dollars in investments and infrastructure built up over decades. Stuff you can't just turn back on again.

Termination of these NSF grants has begun. Per agency director Sethuraman Panchanathan today: "Research projects with more narrow impact limited to subgroups of people based on protected class or characteristics do not effectuate NSF priorities." www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

NEW: DOGE is preparing to terminate over 200 NSF grants previously flagged for DEIA terms. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is a great statement about the importance of NOAA OAR and those affiliated with it! Like @cires.colorado.edu !! Amazing people dedicated to impactful work that protects and advances the nation.... www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

Thank you to The Colorado Sound for a great music meeting!

This was in the bathroom at NOAA yesterday. My amazing colleagues at NOAA are all HIGHLY QUALIFIED experts who have dedicated their careers to advancing science for the betterment of the United States and its citizens.

Emissions from fires at the wildland-urban interface are about 3x more likely to lead to annual premature deaths than emissions from wildfires in general, according to new research led by @ncar-ucar.bsky.social scientists & co-authored by CIRES' @cwiedinm.bsky.social.

Dust, fires, and smoke today in Oklahoma. An apocalyptic scene.

I’m excited to participate in the upcoming NASEM Climate Conversations panel on urban fires: www.nationalacademies.org/event/44524_...
