Suburban MD. Air quality in the very unhealthy zone from Canadian wildfires, w/ heat dome of high 36C & feels likes 42C. It is only early 2000s and climate change brings us this. Meanwhile our leaders vote on ending daylight savings, rant about elections they won, & give us arcs & patriot games.

Exploring a new patch of College Park’s urban forest - City Planning & Community Development just acquired this lot and we’ll work with them on community engagement, ecosystem services assessment, restoration/maintenance plan and get to bring in a few UMD capstone groups too!

After years of pondering it I’m finally offering a course on Science, fiction, and environmental futures! Novels on the top R, excerpts and chapters below, inspiration to the L. Can’t wait to see what the class thinks! #scifi #futures #climatechange #adaptation

Great morning connecting in person with the Baltimore Urban Waters Partnership, learning about t climate vulnerability, tree planting, soil mapping, including a panel on upcoming MD state climate legislation priorities

We leverage multiple spatial datasets from Baltimore, MD to see how stewardship affects the implementation of green infrastructure & changes in tree canopy over time and how this varies with socio-demographic patterns. Combined spatial-temporal analysis is a new direction for STEW-MAP research (2/4)

Excited to speak on a UMD researcher panel at today's AgriSolar Summit put on by Maryland Department of Agriculture. We'll be sharing some preliminary results from our focus groups on agrivoltaic perceptions and barriers with practitioners in Montgomery County, MD

Hi #AGU23 - stop by poster 2053 this afternoon and learn about how @QIANYAO352 is using new approaches to define catchments to better model the outcomes of our stormwater management and IoT monitoring project with @mdhDuBois & @sirjLab

Ghosh - Adoption of words “resilience” & “adaptation” meant to imply a sense of objectivity but is also #dystopian because it represents one specific view of climate futures unfolding

Mitchell Pavao-Zuckerman @mitchzuckerman.bsky.social · 11/12/2023

Ghosh @GhoshAmitav suggests to #AGU23 that deterministic and predictive modeling represents the views of a class of experts and also likely misses a lot of human behavior, social systems dynamics, etc.

Great workshop on Solar power & Ag yesterday hosted by @MdAgDept to get the conversation started on dual use and trade offs. Nice to see broad agency perspectives from MarylandDNR, MDEnergy Admin, Dept of Planning, UMD_AGNR & industry partners - lots of practitioners in the room too!

So proud of Elad Shdaimah- masterful (ha!) defense of his MS thesis “Invasive Liana Hedera helix (English Ivy) Impacts on Ecological Characteristics and Nutrient Cycling in Baltimore Forest Patches” yesterday!

First ‘skeet’ coincides with gearing up for fall semester for the profs (and middle schoolers too)
