The Aerosol-Climate Interactions group @UCLA is looking for a #Postdoc or #Researcher to work on an exciting project to determine whether seeding wintertime polar mixed-phase clouds could be a viable climate intervention technique, as part of a great team. tinyurl.com/SRMMCT

Not just dust in the wind. A new #NSFfunded study shows global microscopic airborne particles from desert dust storms have a slight overall cooling effect that has hidden the full amount of warming caused by greenhouse gases. bit.ly/3EGuFwi @UCLA

@DrYemiAdebiyi Ugh, that really really sucks.... :( I'm sorry, Yemi. The fact that you got so close is hopeful for the next submission though.

Back-to-back: Two proposals were declined funding. This one hurts because they almost got there, and the PMs held on for likelihood of funding.

"Staub ist wirklich kompliziert", sagt Atmosphärenphysiker Jasper Kok (@DustyClimate) im Interview. Staub in der Atmosphäre habe uns bislang vor den schwerwiegenderen Auswirkungen der Erderwärmung geschützt, doch die Konzentration sinkt. #Klimawandel heise.de/hintergrund/Er…

@peakaustria @NatRevEarthEnv @dannymleung @UCLA @Cornell @NCAR_Science @Scripps_Ocean Thanks for pointing this out! Do you have a paper you can recommend for this? Thanks!

@NatRevEarthEnv @DustyClimate @dannymleung @UCLA @Cornell @NCAR_Science @Scripps_Ocean Super paper, i miss the Role of Dust in the atmospheric Chemistry of Methane oxidation? still we need urgent 🚨 research on how we can biomimicry more dust and where and how!

Dust influences the global energy budget through various Earth system interactions 🌬️ This Review by @DustyClimate, @dannymleung, et al. outlines the mineral dust aerosol impacts on global climate and climate change Free to read for two weeks! nature.com/articles/s4301…

And that's why CO2 emissions drop like a stone if you follow a vegetarian or a vegan diet. We need a massive shift towards more plant-based diets, especially in rich meat-eating countries. bit.ly/3RaEVlu 🎨: Bon Appétit (Poore and Nemecek, 2018) via @GreenpeaceCA

Mineral dust aerosols interact with radiation, clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere & biogeochemistry 🌬️🏜️ This Review assesses mineral dust aerosol impacts on global climate and climate change nature.com/articles/s4301… Free: rdcu.be/c3851

Exciting start to the week!! My 1st first-author paper was just published in ACP!! 💖 We used several aircraft campaigns to investigate cirrus cloud formation/evolution and then compared our findings to collocated CAM6 simulations. Read further here: acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/11…

Thanks @maanvissingh& @guardian for this great write up of @DustyClimate's new excellent dust review @NatRevEarthEnv and for including my views! Also, I want to be where this photo was taken. Atmospheric dust may have hidden true extent of global heating theguardian.com/environment/20…

We show that dust probably net cools the climate, that dust has increased by ~50% since the 1850s. This dust increase and the resulting cooling is not included in climate models.

Our latest #research on #dust effects on #climate and #climatechange was just published in @NatRevEarthEnv and is free to read here: rdcu.be/c3Bms. @trudesto1, @DrYemiAdebiyi, @AmatoEvan_, @dannymleung, @UCLA

We have an opening for an assistant professor in Atmospheric Sciences at UCLA. Feel free to pass on to anyone who might be interested! recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF07908

.@RepTedLieu @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein, please vote YES to pass the bipartisan innovation package. This package helps solidify American investments in research, clean energy & climate change solutions, to support early career researchers, & create STEM opportunities for all.

My Aerosol-Climate Interactions research group @UCLA has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar or research scientist for a project to quantify the radiative forcing of desert dust. More details can be found here: jasperfkok.com/home-3/opening….

.@RepTedLieu @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein please urge your colleagues to swiftly pass a bipartisan Innovation Package. This bill helps solidify American investments in research, clean energy & climate change solutions, & create STEM opportunities for all.

@Nissee_Dee @AviancaNAM I totally agree Denisse! I still haven't heard *anything*! Not even a courtesy call saying they lost my luggage. Yes, don't fly Avianca!

¡Viaja como debe ser! 😎 Ten estos tips en cuenta: bit.ly/3AvSylq, y vuela mucho más fácil. 😄

@AviancaEscucha Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. It's been two weeks and I have not heard anything about my lost bag. That's really not okay so I'll be filing a complaint with DOT unless I hear something by this weekend.

@DustyClimate Hello Jasper. You case it's being handle by our team, as soon as the analyst has some news they'll contact you. It's Cata.
