AGU-B DEI will once again host the DEI Travel Grant to support in-person or virtual attendance for the 2025 AGU Annual meeting. Check back in mid-August for the application!

Proud of this one and grateful to my amazing collaborators! See my pinned post for a thread on this work!

A very fun workshop last week in NH about representing (sub)tropical soils in process-based soil carbon models using data from sub-Saharan Africa. Led by @sophievf.bsky.social with @ultracricket.bsky.social ! Don't we make calibrating models look fun?! Photos from Sophie

🦠 Interested in microbes & litter decomposition? Check out this paper & thread by Katie Rocci (postdoc, INSTAAR + IGCB U Mich) et al. Will Wieder (INSTAAR researcher & NCAR investigator) is a co-author too ⬇️

📣 New paper alert 📣 Out TODAY in GCB! We have a lot of evidence that microbial communities are important for litter decomposition but we haven't evaluated those microbial community effects in ecosystem-scale models using empirical data. Now this work has! doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... 1/n

New paper out in Global Change Biology 🤩 doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... We built the first soil carbon model that includes microbial eco-evolution using game theory — and found that adaptation could nearly double global soil carbon loss by 2100. Here is how👇(1/7)

🚨🌍Are you attending #AGU25? Are you working on soil stabilization and change? Than this session is for you: Soils in the Anthropocene: Cross-scale Mechanisms of Stabilization and Change (B081) With @avnimalh0tra.bsky.social @katie-rocci.bsky.social @katerinageorgiou.bsky.social Sam Weintraub-Leff

Please consider donating to our DEI travel grant fund (www.agu.org/give-to-agu/...). For those who donate $20 or more, please email [email protected] for your DEI Committee stickers. We are providing Fall Meeting Travel Grants to help increase diversity among attendees.

Really interesting paper from some great folks! Love to see us learning more about root effects on soil C!

Dear Soil Science friends! There are so many brilliant geoscientists out there who deserve a recognition for their excellent research (e.g. the Alina Kabata-Pendias Medal of the @egu-sss.bsky.social). If you know somebody who you think should get one of the awards, please nominate them 👇

🚨New paper alert🚨 We show that maintaining crop yields lowers the global climate benefits of natural climate solutions on croplands. But, we highlight where win-win opportunities exist for these practices to contribute to climate and production goals. 1/N www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢The Global Soil Biodiversity Conference 2026 abstract submission portal is NOW OPEN 🐛🐜🕷️🦠🪱 Abstracts are due July 15th 23:59 PDT ‼️ Submit an abstract 👇 globalsoilbiodiversity2026.org/abstract/

So fun to be part of this work led by the brilliant @katerinageorgiou.bsky.social - hope folks find it helpful!

Registration for the Early Career Seminar is still open! Hope to see you there! agu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Come work with us @AmazonFACE! We have 4 postdoc positions open: 1) Wood Traits and Growth Relationships 2) Impacts on Biogeochemical Cycling 3) Vegetation Modelling – hydrological/hydraulic processes 4) Functional Traits related to Photosynthesis More info: amazonface.unicamp.br/oportunidade...

Reminder that this is happening Wednesday. Register here : agu.zoom.us/meeting/regi... @agubiogeosciences.bsky.social

🌎 From tracking extreme weather to protecting fisheries and coastlines, #NOAA’s work saves lives and supports economies. AGU opposes the dismantling of NOAA and calls on Congress to defend this critical agency. The future of climate science, public safety, and industry depends on it.

We know that many of you have been directly affected by the Administration’s actions. AGU is offering free 2025 membership to those who suffer a job loss. We want to ensure that you have access to important career and community support during this time.

@agubiogeosciences.bsky.social DEI committee is holding another listening session in two weeks! Join your fellow biogeoscientists to share information and concerns related to the current times. Hope to see you there! #AGU #AGUBiogeosciences

So glad all these folks stood up for science here in Boulder (and sorry I missed it somehow)!

I might have to change careers - this is one prize I would love to win! What a trophy. However, I think I might need to practice for 20+ years first. NZ has some pretty fab science reporters!

We will be holding virtual listening sessions in the coming weeks (‘Community empowerment: Thriving together despite the unknowns’) to continue building and strengthening our community. The first session will be Wednesday February 19 from 2-3:30pm Eastern. Register here: tinyurl.com/biogeothriving

The @agu.org Biogeosciences newsletter is out w/ DEI committee statement! go.agu.org/index.php/em...

AGU stands with federal scientists. Read more on fromtheprow.agu.org/standing-tog...

Professional societies stand together in defense of science & scientists. “science has led to humanity’s greatest advances, improving people’s lives & the health of our planet … (we’re) committed to supporting, elevating, & fighting for science & those who further it.“ www.unitedsciencealliance.org

The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy International Day of Girls and Women in Science! I am so grateful to be surrounded by so many amazing women scientists who have trained me, mentored me, and supported me. Women belong in science 👩‍🔬

📣GSBI Speaks is back this February! Join us to learn about remote sensing and sensing to measure soil biodiversity 📸🎥🐛🐜🦠🪱 Feb. 21, 2025, 9:00 MST, 11:00 EST, 16:00 GMT, 17:00 CET Register 👇 zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Looking for the 2024 TRENDY paper and am instead getting fashionable carbon frame bikes 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey there Blue Sky! We are WOCinEEB, an organization for women of color & non-binary people of color in ecology, evolutionary biology, & allied fields. We offer formal & informal mentorship programs for all career stages & a space for community positivity. Join us & find your people! wocineeb.org

Such an interesting paper! I've always wondered about the soil C part of C sequestration w/afforestation and they find converting from grasslands to coniferous forests reduces soil C, particularly in MAOM (!) More reasons to protect grasslands and measure whole ecosystem C, not just the vegetation!

Hello Bluesky community! #ESWN is a non-profit providing opportunities for peer mentoring, community building, and career development for scientists, educators, and professionals who contribute to and support the earth, space, and environmental sciences. Give us a follow and say hi!

A lovely #AGU2024 full of exciting science and new and old connections! Ending my bluesky coverage how I started it, with another food picture 😊

So glad Francesca Cotrufo is an AGU fellow this year! She is an outstanding scientist and truly caring mentor. She is so deserving of this and I am so grateful to have been trained by her #AGU2024

Join us for orals this morning (Thursday!) and posters this afternoon!

This afternoon!!
