🌍How do global change and land uses affect the capacity of headwater catchments to retain greenhouse gases? #SERVICO2 project, coordinated from CEAB-CSIC, is studying this. This week, its entire team, is at the Centre to coordinate the actions that will be carried out ▶️ https://servico2.org/

Hi bubble, Can anyone recommend a US customs broker for handling samples shipped on dry ice (non-commercial)? We're sending RNA to JGI for sequencing and they recommend working with with a brokers so the shipment does not get held up in customs. Any experiences?

Exploring microscale heterogeneity as a driver of biogeochemical transformations and gas transport in peat
Abstract. Peat pore network architecture is a key determinant of water retention and gas transport properties and has therefore been hypothesized to control redox conditions in and greenhouse gas emis...

Tearing down federal funding in so many areas of science in the USA will have long-lasting effects. Read a great article linked below🧪
For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...
⚒️ An extremely important thread from @holdingupthesky.bsky.social. To her questions I’d add: - What does the leadership at AGU see as its primary mission? - How, if at all, does leaping into precompliance; and, at best, burying references to diversity and equity work, support that mission?
I want to see the American Geophysical Union (AGU) continue its awesome work on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. This thread is a call to AGU and AGU members. 1/
Extremely important thread on the @agu.org leaderships' failure to be transparent in its sudden removal of Diversity related content from its website. I personally have lost confidence in executive leadership, in the week following this "comply in advance". They sold us out. They need to resign IMO

We are alarmed by the Administration’s actions to freeze science funding and eliminate DEI efforts and climate change initiatives, which go against AGU’s mission and harms our members. We must unite to address these changes, beginning by hearing from you. Read more: https://buff.ly/4hm8r4e
Two cool post-doc positions available at Umeå Uni to work on David Wardle's unique long-term experiments on lake islands in N-Sweden! One position focuses on microbial communities, the other on above-belowground linkages. Please, share! 🧬🦠🌲🍂 www.umu.se/en/work-with... www.umu.se/en/work-with...

After the Marshall Fire in 2021, there were many questions from residents about the environmental impacts: did the smoke from the fire leave a lasting impact on air quality and health? And how could people protect themselves? Yesterday our groups published 2 papers on this topic. #MarshallFire

I'm putting together a starter pack of international researchers working in Finland. It's still growing, please let me know if you want to be added or removed.
Now that this place suddenly got a lot livelier, a quick promotion skeet for Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry our new diamond open access journal (free to authors and readers, possible due to volunteer work and support by Upsala University press). Open for submissions starting January 1st
Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry
Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry is a community-led diamond open access journal that aims to publish innovative and globally relevant articles in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry. Regional studies put in the context of a wider research question will also be considered.

I recently organized a field campaign with some of my MSc and PhD students. One student took her young child along. We rented a minibus with a children's seat. University & funding agency tell me that my grant cannot pay the fee for the kids seat. God I wonder why this pipeline is leaky.
