Woodwell Climate is proud to announce the appointment of three endowed chairs, an exciting milestone in our 40-year history that will sustain groundbreaking climate research for generations to come. www.woodwellclimate.org/endowed-chai...

Spent a rainy but productive day on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. with our Government Relations and @permafrostpathways.bsky.social teams. The importance of using maps to communicate our science was a key topic of discussion. The map tie also received several compliments :)

🔥 Arctic Indigenous Peoples face deepening health crises, displacement, and cultural disruption due to wildfire. Indigenous expertise offers solutions. www.woodwellclimate.org/northern-com...

This study uses data from almost 200 studies going back to the 1970s, with data from almost 2000 unique sites. Knowing what it takes to collect this data and publish these individual studies, it is humbling to be able to use their findings in a joint analysis – standing on the shoulder of giants.

Our modelling of future methane emissions account for both climate warming (through a space-for-time framework) and permafrost thaw (through landscape transitions caused by thaw), and we find that these effects have important interactions – although the direct effect of warming dominates.

“We have no need for air-conditioning, and so we don’t have filtration in the homes for smoke.” Project Lead Sue Natali and Sr. Arctic Lead Edward Alexander spoke to the New York Times about how the presence of smoke in northern communities is a growing cause for concern. #Canada #Arctic 🎁 link:

This is a great opportunity for US based early career scientists to build international research collaborations. Please spread the word.

As a lead author of Chapter Four, Natali, project lead of @permafrostpathways.bsky.social joins 20 other experts from 16 nations to gather the best available science on land surface processes, interactions between the cryosphere, ocean, and atmosphere, and changes in carbon sinks and sources.

📣 We’re excited to share that Senior Scientist and Arctic ecologist Dr. Sue Natali has been named a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (#IPCC) Seventh Assessment Report!

A group panelists — three whom live in Alaska’s Interior — discussed methods to address wildfires in the Arctic, as well as strategies to implement fire mitigation.

A 17km horseback trek brought us to the Dukha reindeer herders' autumn camp in the West Taiga this week. We're here to co-create maps, sharing the story of their nomadic life and how they're navigating climate change and land use changes. Drone 📸: IG @l.s_ragchaa @permafrostpathways.bsky.social

Canada wildfire season already second worst on record as experts warn of ‘new reality’ - More than 470 Canadian fires classified as ‘out of control’ as scientists say climate change exacerbating the burning #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

And we’re already hard at work discussing map information.

After many days of travel: inc four flights, 8 hours of 4x4 off roading, and a half day (and into the night) on horseback, we’ve reached the Dukha reindeer camp on the east taiga of Mongolia, just 10 miles from the Russian border. And they have starlink! 🙂

#FriendsOfPublicRadio www.kyuk.org/politics/202...

The growth of Indigenous language through radio is at risk, along with the rest of public media, but cultural reclamation at large will persevere.

📖 In partnership with the Alaska Native Village of Cev’aq (Chevak), Permafrost Pathways at @woodwellclimate.bsky.social has produced a case study that details the climate impacts that the Cev’aq community is living through with limited institutional support.

“It's our job to learn, then empower and allow [communities] to create things important to them, prioritize projects important to them, and provide tools and resources.” Great conversation with our collaborator Jackie Qataliña Schaeffer about adaptation planning and Indigenous infrastructure.

This map from @cmshintani.bsky.social shows the permafrost extant across the boreal forest ecoregion. Read more about the connection between boreal wildfires and permafrost at www.woodwellclimate.org/connection-b...

🚩Potential for another fire weather/fire episode in Canada Starting next Tue-Wed (Jul 29-30) in AB then shifting to SK – MB – NWRN ON (Wed – Sat Aug 2). This is concerning as 2025 is very active fire season with 280 Out of Control fires - many in the regions mentioned. 500mb anomaly forecast below.

still considering which session to choose? #AGU25 #eddy_flux #sessions B084 - Flux Measurements for Real-World Impact (tinyurl.com/msvye75p) B085 - From Single Flux Measurements to Integrated Synthesis (tinyurl.com/yvb3fy4b) B086 - Scaling Fluxes with Remote Sensing (tinyurl.com/7ra9afns)

For Woodwell’s Dr. Kayla Mathes, community perspectives have driven home the need for fire suppression as a tool to protect people and climate. Read her essay at www.woodwellclimate.org/fire-suppres... @permafrostpathways.bsky.social

With help from our Sámi partners and @permafrostpathways.bsky.social, Christina Shintani (@cmshintani.bsky.social) explores how climate change is affecting reindeer migration in her map debuting at the Esri User Conference.

🗺 This week, our team is raising awareness about Arctic change at #EsriUC2025 in San Diego. Today, @cmshintani.bsky.social's “Navigating the new Arctic"—co-produced with Sámi partners at the International Centre for Reindeer Husbandry —is featured in the Map Gallery.

Congratulations @gfiske.bsky.social for another great @woodwellclimate.bsky.social map that made the #EsriUC2025 plenary!

New 🔥 pod from Arctic Council on decolonizing wildland fire management, revitalizing Indigenous fire practices, and how the global community can respond to an Arctic on fire. Grateful our @woodwellclimate.bsky.social team could join the conversation 🧵 #CanadaWildfires #ArcticFire #ClimateSolutions

ICOS stations in Europe have detected the presence of smoke plumes from the North American wildfires, indicated by a sharp increase in carbon monoxide (CO). Photosynthesis appears to have helped reduce some negative impacts of fires. Learn more 👉 icos-cp.eu/news-and-eve...
