Missed the workshop? “Bridging the Gap: Flux Data Meets Land Surface Models” No worries ! Now, everything you need is available in one place — this blog: fluxnet.org/bridging-the... The workshop materials (tutorials and lecture videos) can be found at the end of the blog post. Enjoy :)

Wrapped up an awesome early career workshop this month 'bridging the gap' between the flux & land surface modeling communities! Organized by an amazing team from @fluxnetecn.bsky.social & supported by @fluxnet.bsky.social‬, materials publicly available, stay tuned for our blog post w/more info 👀

Hey Folks...You may start seeing social media sites and a website for Climate.us If you see it, follow and share. It is legit and has some amazing, credible people behind it trying to plug leaks in the climate science world. Trust me on this one. More is coming....

A sweaty but fun endeavor battling the odds 😅 (the odds: extreme lightning every two hours, emergency campus evacuation, missing cables, flash flood warnings, covid, wild hogs/alligators, and 97 degree temps)...but the best crew to wake up at 4:30am with and make it happen!

A great piece; re. the economic impacts of science funding cuts: "government-supported research from the NSF and other agencies has had a return on investment of 150% to 300% since 1950, meaning for every dollar U.S. taxpayers invested, they got back between $1.50 and $3"

Paul Bierman@paul-bierman.bsky.social · last yr.

These cuts will have dramatic implications on the next generation through the loss of climate change research and science education. @michaelemann.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @nsf-icedrilling.bsky.social

@cleanaircatf.bsky.social convened a group of forest carbon experts and we reviewed carbon offset protocols for improved forest management projects in North America. The paper is out today in Earth's Future. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
