“there is no better time in history to be doing science, even when working against the headwinds of funding cuts and the rampant spread of misinformation” by Jeanna Bryner, Scientific American, Sep 2026

NOAA’s HRRR-Smoke model shows near-surface smoke concentrations (fire-emitted fine particulate matter concentrations at ~8 meters above the ground) at 1 pm EDT on 15 July 2026. Values over 35 (🔸 in map) exceed 24-hr AQ standards & are considered unhealthy for all populations. #wildfire #smoke

Built #viewtif during the government shutdown from daily frustration. Why is it so hard to just look at a GeoTIFF from the terminal? 😅 Inspired by Jake Longecker's GeoViewer for ECOSTRESS imagery. Just chatted with Alastair on the #geomob podcast. Hope you enjoy it! 🎙️ thegeomob.com/podcast/epis...

Doing science feels deeply meaningful to me, but the moment I spot a possible mistake, I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack. Decades in, it never goes away. I wonder about the long-term effects on scientists’ lives…

Don’t you sometimes just want to see a .tif file? I’ve released viewtif v0.2.7. This version adds support for remote files (HTTP, S3), exporting to QGIS, and reading multi-variable NetCDF files, among other updates. Link in the comments.

Brilliant choice of bivariate color palette in this map of water stress from @wriclimate.bsky.social & ESRI. I love how it draws attention to areas with high demand for water with saturated colors, & distinguishes low & high availability with a striking change in hue. via @dantoearth.bsky.social
Map of water availability and water stress in South America. The map uses a bivariate color palette with dark blue indicating high water availability and demand, light blue/cyan indicating high water availability and low demand, gray showing low water availability and demand, and orange indicating low water availability with high water demand. Most of the Amazon is low water stress. Atlantic Brazil, the west coast bordering the Andes, and the pampas region have the most water stress.Map of water availability and water demand in North America. The map uses a bivariate color palette with dark blue indicating high water availability and demand, light blue/cyan indicating high water availability and low demand, gray showing low water availability and demand, and orange indicating low water availability with high water demand. Most of the Amazon is low water stress. Mexico and the U.S. northern plains and southwest have the most water stress. The Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes region, and northeast/Atlantic regions have high demand and availability. Alaska and northern Canada have high availability and low demand, except for the Alaskan North slope with lower availability and higher demand.

A bonus was seeing this note on our building door. I’m not sure if it was there before the shutdown. What are the chances that we share the same name and are still being socialised?

And here it is, still standing. First day back after the shutdown, and it is actually raining. We do not get much rain in the South Bay, and when we do it can be intense, like this storm driven by an atmospheric river.

Last year Brazil saw its biggest drop in emissions in 15 years, new data show. Analysts credit the decline to a crackdown on the illegal clearing of forest.
