Deniers are going to say that the extreme heat of the coming El Niño is just "natural variability," but: "Analysis of hundreds of years of climate records reveals that El Niño events are getting stronger due to human-caused climate change." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

When I first learned the names of the Great Lakes it was using the acronym H-O-M-E-S. Now, it’s SHAME, and I think that’s appropriate #LakeOntario

A new chapter begins! I just started work for the USGS to research the distribution of epizootic hemorrhagic disease in our ungulate populations across the western US. The virus is spread by biting midges & I’m excited to learn more and help state and regional wildlife agencies tackle this problem!

“As a result of these changes, engine and vehicle manufacturers no longer have any future obligations for the measurement, control, and reporting of GHG emissions for any highway engine and vehicle” It surely is Friday the 13th.

ChatGPT has a year in review, and it somehow made the chaos of my coding and modeling questions look lovely. In 2019, I was “The Tick Chick”. In 2026, “the Wetland Whisperer”. I’ll take it!

Today I learned that if you type -AI alongside your Google search, it will give you your search without the automatic AI generated answer 👌 I can only imagine how much energy/water this saves, esp when I never even wanted the AI response in the first place

Absolutely moved by the #AGU25 plenary speaker, Dr. John Francis. Following a massive oil spill, Dr. Francis gave up driving in cars, opting to walk everywhere, including crossing the country multiple times to get to and from University. He gave up speaking, choosing to listen instead…

#AGU25 started with so many wonderful oral talks about Arctic permafrost/ carbon cycling and ended with a side quest into the swamp 👌
