Wow Ben, this is great. 👏 thanks for sharing!
I loved putting these thoughts into the world! Thanks @avnimalh0tra.bsky.social for the shout out!
We'll be hosting a session on #methane cycling & emissions across ecosystems again this year at #AGU2025! Submit your abstract by July 30 to join us in New Orleans for another year of great methane discussions! @drbenrunkle.bsky.social agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr...
I enjoyed finding my group's research in a 🍚🌾 newsletter from @michelledavis.bsky.social - stirthepot.substack.com/p/welcome-to... She gave our findings on more sustainable, climate-smart rice production a nice "Hell Yes"! 💪
New Tansley review paper from Zoe Pierrat & friends in @newphyt.bsky.social linking proximal remote sensing with ecosystem fluxes! Synergies and best practices for hyperspectral reflectance, SIF, thermal, microwave and lidar 🌈🌲🗼🛰️🧪 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Old Main at the University of Arkansas looked fantastic in this morning’s sunrise! 🌅
I've been loving the lack of email the last week or so! How to bring this energy into 2025?
Here's our annual alumni meal photo at #agu24 The group cleaned up nicely, eh? Great to see everyone @jdfuentes.bsky.social @drbenrunkle.bsky.social @youngryel.bsky.social @vargaslab.bsky.social @jbfisher.bsky.social @arman-ahmadi.bsky.social @pattyoikawa.bsky.social @etechlab.bsky.social

Nice to have a departmental running club! Today we were small, but mighty! With Terry and @retiranniku.bsky.social
Our campus’s most adored fall tree 🍁 is starting to get really lovely! (University of Arkansas)
Eddy Fluxes and micromet just formed go.bsky.app/QjA83fc And ecohydrology Nice to see these affinity groups forming. This may end up better than the blue bird with the momentum i see. Spread the word to those who have not migrated
I enjoyed visiting Austin this week! Hope my talk hooked ‘em. 😉 Fun to talk ag and sustainability to a broad engineering audience.
I'd be more productive this week if I didn't have FIVE HOURS of cyber/research security trainings to listen to! Truly SCARY
Wonderful visit to Portland OR that included good walking, views, Japanese gardens, and food with @happygeojill.bsky.social!
#AGU24 deadline is 3 weeks away! We are looking forward to another great session on #methane dynamics across ecosystems with invited speakers Sara Knox and Jonas Stage Sø! Submit to B023 by July 31 to join us! @drbenrunkle.bsky.social agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/pr...
Building a More Complete Representation of Methane Dynamics Across Earth's Ecosystems
Accurately measuring and predicting methane (CH4) fluxes is crucial for enhancing modeling capabilities to respond effectively to climate and land-use change. However, our incomplete understanding of ...
