A hectic semester thus far, but maybe the most fulfilling of my graduate program yet. Attended the SEV All-Hands Meeting, taught a phenology lesson to 5th graders, visited a new field site and met new PhenoCam collaborators, and started planning my 2025 field season. Spring break, where you at?

Intriguing new RainManSR paper out by Fangyue Zhang and others! It’s a bummer to hear that this beautifully designed and powerful experiment has been forced into dormancy.

Hi folks, this is just a quick rough cut of a Dryland Ecology starter pack. Help me build it by telling me you want to be on it, or suggesting someone else to list. go.bsky.app/BkjLRGY

Tomorrow afternoon, Jessica Guo will be giving an #AGU24 talk on work she led at #RainManSR that I was fortunate to be a part of. Stop by to hear about how precipitation temporal repackaging influences ecohydrologic processes in the Sonoran Desert.

How and when does moisture and temperature regulate the photosynthetic efficiency of a broadleaf evergreen (creosote) shrub? The chlorophyll fluorescence data I’m collecting at the Sevilleta LTER Mean-Variance Experiment will help us answer questions like this. Can’t beat the NM sunrises & sunsets!

I’ve been looking forward to getting out into the field for some time now, it’s my happy place! A productive yet peaceful SEV trip with Andrew this past weekend for some Mean-Variance Experiment PhenoCam work.

Over the holidays I spent time with the people I love in places I love, finally finished a draft of my RainManSR manuscript from my research at UArizona, and attended the SEV @uslter.bsky.social All-Hands Meeting at UNM. I’m looking forward to seeing what this semester has in store!

Quick trip to the Sevilleta LTER with Andrew last week to tend to some Mean-Variance Experiment PhenoCams. We will be using imagery from these cameras to test hypotheses about relationships between precipitation and soil moisture, phenology, and productivity.

Jacob J. Blais (he/him) @jacobjblais.bsky.social · 18/11/2023

Are you interested in learning more about how PhenoCams are being leveraged to better understand the influence of changing precipitation patterns on plant phenology in drylands? If yes, check out my Sevilleta LTER Brown Bag seminar talk: mediaspace.unm.edu/media/SEV+LT...

I had the pleasure of joining my colleague Oscar Zimmerman for some fieldwork at The Arboretum at Flagstaff today to lay a PhenoCam setup to rest. Such a gorgeous view from the meadow!

It was great to hear from Dr. Sophie Fauset, William Hagan Brown, and Dr. Martijn Slot last week about leaf temperature, thermal cameras, and abiotic controls of plant productivity in the tropics!

Still looking for phd students. If you know a student interested in drought mortality, dendroecology, tree phys, or particularly NSC +14c, please reach out. A growing dept with broad expertise. Outdoors access in Las Vegas is pretty great. Also, giant glowing orbs? shorturl.at/lwxSW
