Publication alert! New paper examines attitudes toward deep-sea mining, a proposed source of critical minerals with major environmental tradeoffs. While some U.S. policymakers see DSM as a path to critical minerals independence, many in the environmental community view it as an unacceptable risk.

Really enjoyed everything about this: power of the courts and collective action with parallels to today, similarities and contrasts to the civil rights movements of the 60s, and ability of academics to make meaningful impacts on policy

A great start at #ISA2025, Chicago presenting on #HumanRights, #ClimateLitigation, the #UNFCCC Negotiations. What a rich discussion chaired by Christina Hoicka, discussions by Farrah Brown, and co-panelists @kmo95.bsky.social, Keith Goldstein, and Yasushi Katsuma.

Left a sunny and beautiful PNW day for #ISA2025 in Chicago this weekend. My phone’s forecast summary immediately changed to just “windy”

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

There’s been a lot of “Biden needs to push through policies before Trump” from Dems in the last couple of weeks. A more sustainable Colorado River plan would be a big win for climate resilience in the West!

Federal water officials release outline for dealing with Colorado River shortages
The Biden administration won't be around to finish new guidelines for splitting up a depleted Colorado River, but is handing off a range of ideas.
