Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

Efforts to dissolve the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social, including closing the center’s headquarters in Boulder, will begin immediately, an official told @usatoday.com 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

NCAR’s Mesa Lab is literally a science castle dedicated to understanding our planet in an open and collaborative way, and leading the world in that effort. We cannot let this happen.

I’m here at #AGU25! Looking forward to connecting with the research community and talking science. Looking for the NSF booth? Out of necessity we’ve gone mobile! See you out there…

Be sure to talk to #AGU25 student poster presenters! See someone standing around at their poster, stop and ask them to give you a short overview, and ask a friendly question or two. It's a good -- and fun & easy -- way to support professional development and skill building in the geosciences. 🧑‍🎓

I'm recruiting a #PhDstudent ! Deadline Feb 10th! Explore how forest management shapes peatlands, riparian zones, streams and the #biodiversity that depends on them. www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

🌍 Geospatial data science in 2025 still comes down to two words: foundation models. And over the past months, we’ve had the chance to put that idea into practice for global flood mapping. Summary figures & discussion on Hugging Face: 👉 lnkd.in/euR9DXfX Full technical preprint: 👉 lnkd.in/eYMCZd9e

Bettina Schaefli and I warmly invite you to submit abstracts to a new EGU session HS2.2.5 New Developments in Hydrological Synthesis Abstract submission: www.egu26.eu/session/55911 1/6

No OSPA at this year's #AGU25, which is disappointing, because it made sure that students had at least 3 scientists come to their poster, ask questions, and provide anonymous (hopefully productive) feedback afterwards. Does anyone know why it was dropped? @hydrology-agu.bsky.social or @agu.org

✅ Final exams ✅ #AGU25 planning ⬛️ submit abstract to Biogeomon: bit.ly/biogeomon_ab...

🌱Happy International #Soil Day! We'd like to highlight an incredible #paper in the journal SOIL by Raza et al. (2025), titled “Missing the input: the underrepresentation of plant physiology in global soil carbon research.” 🧵Read more in this #GeoLog : egu.eu/4LE7VG 📸Antonio Jordán on #imaggeo

Back by popular demand: At #EGU26 we'll organize another BUGS session: Blunders, Unexpected Glitches, and Surprises! Submit abstracts on ideas that seemed great but didn't work, errors and bugs that led to new insights (or funny stories), or any other unexpected results. www.egu26.eu/session/56997

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

Our ability to figure out how old stream water is relies almost entirely on environmental tracers. But stable water isotopes rarely tell us anything about water parcels older than 1–2 years, and even tritium often doesn’t push that limit much further dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025....

Our department at UBC is hiring for a professor of forest ecophysiology, including "tree ecophysiology; plant abiotic or biotic stress physiology; forest mortality and climate change responses; forest carbon balance; tree water relations; or nutrient use." Learn more at: tinyurl.com/5da56f5c

Join the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona for our 2026 Dendrochronology Intensive Summer Course (DISC)! Spend 3 great weeks (May 18th to June 5, 2026) in the field, lab, and classroom learning first-hand how tree-ring research is done! ltrr.arizona.edu/summerschool

Time to get your public comments in on the proposed Waters of the U.S. rule that would strip protections for countless wetlands and streams. Trout unlimited has a tool on their page that will automatically send your message to the EPA as well as your representatives: www.tu.org/conservation...

I'm giving a chalk talk on Monday to Freshwater scientists in the Triangle Area that regularly come together in "Converge Meetings", initiated by @agdelv.bsky.social. I think of adding a Hydrology Bingo to go with concepts I'll be mentioning along the way. Distracting and silly? Or engaging and fun?

🚨Job opportunity🚨 We are hiring a 3yr research technician. If you love fieldwork, are passionate about forests & mountains, and want to up-skill in remote sensing, sensor networks and running field experiments this could be the dream job for you! 🧪🌳⛰️🛰️🌡️🍄 www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

I've been on the road so I'm behind the times—but if you wanted to destroy US science, I can think of no more expedient action. Blatant unconstitutionality aside, fuck this backwards forwards and sideways. www.science.org/content/article/u-s-congress-considers-sweeping-ban-chinese-collaborations

Today, 10 years ago I defended my PhD thesis at the Uni. of Freiburg! Look at this great doctoral hat my colleagues created that showed my field work activities back then. Markus Weiler as supervisor, 2nd supervisor @kjmcguire.bsky.social connected via video, & Christine Stumpp as external expert.

P.C.D. (“Chris”) Milly, Horton Medal Awardee 2024: "That prioritization of scientific career over private life stings even more as I’ve realized how our science is sometimes ignored anyway—or applied only selectively—to favor powerful, capitalist interests instead of a sustainable common good."

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

We are looking to hire a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor in the general areas of stable isotope biogeochemistry and/or geobiology! For more information and to apply see apply.interfolio.com/176517 -- review begins November 15!

Exciting scientific finding, confirming a tyrannosaurus species based on growth rings of dino bones. Happy for the research team at the Natural History Museum, who are always on site to answer questions about the Dueling Dinosaurs - except when it's in peer review, as it was at my last visit 😀
