Just noticed that the entire OSPA program is on hiatus for #AGU25. Does anyone know the back story?

Very interesting paper. I have thought about running this experiment using a computer model. Really cool to see it demonstrated from field measurements. This should have important implications for photosynthesis and respiration rates. Increased leaf temperature could offset carbon gains from eCO2.

Attention Bluesky - @noupside.bsky.social & @rachelkleinfeld.bsky.social say, "To avoid irrelevance when they are needed most, experts & nonpartisan analysts must rethink not just their channels of communication but also their theory of influence." Do you agree? What change is most important? 🧵🧪

How guaranteed are the ESA page fee grants if I apply? I want to submit, but don't really have money for publication fees. @esajournals.bsky.social

"this product is good because it's like having a pocket full of PhDs" just suggests to me you've never actually been in a room with a bunch of experts on a topic. You think you're going to come away with a quick, simple, easy-to-digest summary of their expertise? Think again.

My take: Science gives us knowledge but not wisdom. Wisdom = knowledge + values. So science can tell you what's true, but not what's important. Your values tell you what's important, but those are far more subjective. Your wisdom is your combination of what is true and what you think is important.

Today I learned that Python alphabetizes based on Unicode values, where all capital letters are before all lowercase letters. So "Z" will be sorted before "e".

Only a couple more days to submit to our #AGU25 session on Conservation Ecohydrology! It's a very fun session with lots of interesting applied ecohydrology studies. 🌲💧🚜 agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr...

At some point, I wonder if it makes sense to have newspapers and other longform media outlets supported by endowments in the same way that foundations and universities are.

Please consider submitting to our #AGU25 session Conservation Ecohydrology (H053). There are always interesting presentations on fun and novel applications of ecohydrology methods. Past presentations have covered everything from beavers to gold mines to power plants. agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr...

I believe this is the "don't look up" approach to environmental policy.

Thermal infrared remote sensing, both from space and near Earth’s surface, is unlocking new ways to study ecosystems, from individual leaves to entire landscapes, write @mostafaj.bsky.social, @stephpau.bsky.social, and colleagues. eos.org/science-upda...

Sensing Potential, Scientists Refine Thermal Imaging of Ecosystems - Eos
At a recent “bake-off,” researchers judged thermal infrared cameras and developed guidelines for their consistent use in studying vegetation temperatures, which illuminate vital ecosystem processes.

It was great to be a part of this effort. I'm really excited for the new infrastructure and protocols that are going to help standardize and scale proximal remote sensing over the next few years.

During COVID times, I had charts like this for my asynchronous lectures. They looked similar, although the initial drop off wasn't as steep.

Each of us contributes incrementally to a future we may never see. If it is in our lifetime, if our science, or our contribution, is part of a practical solution, it will likely be one sentence in a vast tome with contributions from thousands of authors across dozens of (not just science) fields.

The scar of the 2020 Creek Fire is hard to miss when you're driving around Shaver Lake, CA. Lots of stand replacing burns as far as the eye can see. #FireScarFriday
A picture of a stand of dozens of burned trees where every tree is completely dead and torched black.

This is a great approach. I think more climate change communication needs to emphasize that it is caused by simple, observable processes that emerge from basic physical principles. Too often, we get caught up in the nuances of empirical methods that are not necessary to establish the basic facts.
