Dr. Sarah Goslee, PhD

I am pretty much not here. I mean, even more than usual. I am on masto (some) and bsky (mostly), but currently with a single account under username phiala and not with a secondary numberwright account as I am on twitter. Hope to see you there!

We figured out how much water is in all of Earth’s plants and how long it takes water to flow through them. Answer: 786 km3 and 5-18 days. @NatureWaterJnl @koen_hufkens @sciencebyAJ

Today is the kind of Monday where my nifty time-saving #rstats function gives bizarre results… because I used rbind instead of cbind, it turns out.

@MaryHenryGEO Oooh. Sleeping all weekend! If only… I also left OKC with more work to do, but projects will be better for it. I think.

#postdoc position @TheJornada to improve rangeland remote sensing NPP #models. Apply to Sarah McCord with a statement outlining experience and interests, CV, contact information of three references. jornada.nmsu.edu/people/sarah-m…

@MaryHenryGEO It’s RAINING *cries*

@MaryHenryGEO @iale_na It was great to see you! Also glad to be home, but IALENA is my favorite conference for so many reasons and especially the people.

@usda_nass Hi! Is there any way to get machine-readable #agcensus files, rather than the hard-to-parse downloadable txt files. (Those are a huge improvement over the old ones with spaces as thousands separators!)

Welcome to today’s #StatChat! I am Bryan Combs and look forward to answering questions about the 2022 #agcensus. If you have a question, please use #agcensus. I will end my responses with – BC.

My recent talk "Analysis of Spatial Patterns: Current State and Future Challenges" presented at @iiasavienna explores methods for quantification and exploration of spatial patterns. You can find the slides at buff.ly/3QBRGHv. #rstats #rspatial #spatialpatterns

Happy 25th birthday to GDAL ! From the first commit on 1998-10-17 from a small rural town outside of Ottawa Canada, to almost every geospatial software installation on the planet (and satellites and other planets!) in 25 years. The ultimate example of sharing & community. #foss4g

@FakeAndyBunn I’m just starting a new NA project, expanding from CONUS, so I’m be putting together better sets of normals from NARR data, but that doesn’t help you *now*. But if you’re still stuck in a couple months, email me!

@numberwright Yeah. That was what I was worried about. I do want NA. And was hoping not to download each year. Thx!

I dunno if this thing works anymore, but if it does can somebody point me to spatial data (like daymet) of monthly tmin and tmax climate normals for N America?

@FakeAndyBunn Well, worldclim does have normals. Sort of, and only 1970-2000, and also only the BIOCLIM indices, but that does include mean annual temperature and total annual precipitation. worldclim.org/data/worldclim…

It's me. I am the ARS scientist. It is great working with the @PSUPollinators team!

This is huge!

Absolutely incredible authors' note:

@catgyoung Research ecologist for the US Department of Agriculture, working on climate change adaptation, biodiversity, ecosystem services.

You have a STEM PhD but you don’t work in academia. Tell us what you do!

@mjandersen Clearly the answer is neither, only pet the cat(s). Except keeping my job is essential for being able to buy treats. Such a dilemma!

@numberwright Which one is easier to do while petting a cat. Asking for a cat in need of petting.

Hooray I finished the project expected to be done last December. Should I work backwards in time to even more overdue things, or try to make progress on the one due at the end of the month?
