...Revisiting some imagery from the 2017 Tubbs Fire for work... I sure do miss the Round Barn and still struggle to understand how that historic structure got zero community effort to rebuild - it was SUCH a landmark.

Beach ridge complex and dunes at Pointe aux Chenes, Michigan. I've got it in my slides for a case study on post-glacial rebound and other causes of lake level change on the Great Lakes, and I had to post it here again.

📌So eight sailors we know of attempted suicide in the USS Lincoln Strike Group. This is beyond disgusting. It is a tragedy, and heads need to roll starting with Pete Hegseth, who is an unqualified bum. I can't even imagine how bad the morale must be on these ships. This is NOT the Navy I served in.

If you want 1.5C, 1.8C, 2C, overshoot, no-overshoot, etc, then they all require the same thing: rapid short-term emission reductions reaching net zero CO2 emissions as soon as possible. This has been clear from the IPCC Special Report on 1.5C, which depicts "overshoot" on its cover! 1/

Wow, these sequestration rates (even in medium scenario) are not just unrealistic, they are fantastical. Our work on geological limits to carbon sequestration shows that even achieving 1 Gt/y will be challenging without significant tech breakthrough. Relying on CCS today is not a realistic plan!

What comes next for grounded fishing boat on Point Reyes beach?
The Coast Guard’s decision to sacrifice the Lake Bay, rather than help its rescue, has stoked anger in some of the North Bay’s tight-knit commercial fishing community.

Excellent day at an excellent fault trench! Many thanks to @earthjay.bsky.social @miltonshaky.bsky.social and Jessie Vermeer for spending the day showing us your work. Why are we staring a dirt wall? I explain in the video in the next post.

View of the trench looking uphill. There are multiple benches cut into the hillside. People along the top look very small compared to the trench.

Lala, now a Category 1 hurricane, looks pretty healthy on radar imagery as it makes a close approach toward Hawaii's Big Island, where it may make landfall (if so, would be first HI landfall since 1992). Either way, widespread and potentially serious flash flooding is expected.
