Goddard Space Flight Center’s science center is slated to close due to the government cuts. Thank you Space.com for covering this. www.space.com/space-explor...

There are more than 100 marine research institutions in the United States and they’re under threat from Trump’s attack on science funding. 🌊

it’s essential that scientists, decisionmakers, & end users codevelop forecast tools & information. Close integration ...would focus scientific innovation on user-defined needs of what is useful and actionable, allowing scientists to build tools that meet those needs. eos.org/opinions/sci...

New in the Climate Data Store (CDS): the ERA5-Drought dataset, with monthly meteorological drought indicators across accumulation windows from 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 & 48 months from 1940 to today. Supports both deterministic & ensemble products on a 0.25° grid. More info ⬇️​

Future changes in irrigation will reduce dry-heat stress (without reversing GHG trend) and will substantially amplify moist-heat stress (strengthening GHG trend). New study @natcomms.nature.com led by Yi Yao @hydr-vub.bsky.social and @usyseth.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Attribution of vegetation change to climate change: here we compared vegetation time series to simulations from a process model forced with observed and counterfactual (detrended) climate data.

Speaking of, cool to see NASA listed as one of the Webby Awards most iconic companies in internet history today!

I'm happy to share a paper in Science Advances that makes the case for a weak land carbon sink, drawing upon JPL and Chloris biomass time series. To close the budget with a net land sink of 0.8 Pg C/y from 2000-2019, we propose increases in the ocean sink and decreases in fossil fuel emissions.

🦋🌱 Most people care about #biodiversity, yet we often underestimate how concerned others are about its loss. This “pluralistic ignorance” can silence people, weaken action, and make ambitious policies seem less popular. In a new paper, we outline a research agenda to study and reduce this gap (1/2)

Deforestation is responsible for nearly 75% of dry season rainfall reduction in the Amazon rainforest since 1985, according to a study in Nature Communications. go.nature.com/3I2xPzr ⚒️ 🧪

Interested in a small home solar install but my god it’s like a feeding frenzy out there as soon as you show any interest and the DOE resources put a target on your back, resulting in constant phone calls and texts. There must be an easier way to connect with local reputable companies. #solar

Because destroying the US is not enough, Trump is using tariffs, visa restrictions, and trade deals to pressure other countries to abandon climate goals and increase fossil fuel use, further destroying the world and the future.

Trump issued an EO trying to take away collective bargaining rights from orgs like NASA And NOAA by claiming their primary function is "intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work." It's bullshit and another attempt at hurting workers and consolidating power.

The @ametsoc.org responds to the the regime's Department of Energy #climate report: "We identify five foundational flaws in the [...] report. Each of these flaws, alone, places the report at odds with scientific principles and practices." www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

Another rough Friday saying goodbye to more folks in my group who are leaving NASA. It’s hard enough to see these incredibly talented and dedicated folks leave the agency they love, but also know it didn’t have to be this way and we are setting our country back decades as we gut federal science.
