Defended! ✓ Kyle Kittelberger studies bird populations to uncover how their biology may change in response to environmental pressures, such as wildfire. Congrats, Kyle! PI/Mentor: @sekercioglu #PhDLife25 #EEOB #birds #conservation  @k_kittelberger @uofuscience @UUtah

"The weak land carbon sink hypothesis" published in @ScienceAdvances today. Drawing upon satellite biomass, we propose increases in the ocean sink and decreases in fossil fuel emissions to close the budget with a net land sink of 0.8 Pg C/y from 2000-2019 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@ultracricket @UMaine Incredible, congratulations!!

@postleop my plot requires a log scale 😬

had some coding frustration, spent all afternoon plotting my revenge

More CA state forests are vulnerable to wildfire due to climate change, with recent fires so big and intense that forests can’t keep up. - @uciess Prof. Jim Randerson @randersonjt & University of Utah Prof. Jon Wang @wangathan @DYCE_Lab ps.uci.edu/news/3215

Many thanks to collaborators at @uciess who helped guide this study (@randersonjt @VedBhoot and not-on-Twitter Carl Norlen, Mike Goulden, and Shane Coffield) and @UofUBiology for the support! 7/7

Categorical indices of fire severity (e.g. high vs low) are hard to interpret, and might not capture climate trends. Remote sensing advances are revealing this nuance across ecoregions. Hope this can improve wildfires observation, forest management, and ecosystem models! 6/7

Hello there! I'm proud to share a new wildfire paper in ERL - California had recent huge fires but tree loss rose much faster, relatively, than burned area. How much is the per-burned-area impact on tree cover losses rising, and why? Paper: doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… 1/7

attheu.utah.edu/research/as-cl… Assistant Prof Jon Wang found fire severity increased by 30% between the 1980s and 2010s and total tree cover in #California has decreased by 7% since 1985 due to #wildfires and #drought . @wangathan @uofu_science @UUtah

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. ’Blah,’ said Toad. ‘I feel down in the dumps.’

Just a reminder to all #dryland scientists, managers, and enthusiasts - please comment on the @NASAEarth #ARID white paper by November 5th so we can make sure all your awesome dryland research ideas, needs, and perspectives are covered! YAY!! 🏜️ 🌵 ☀️ 👇 cce.nasa.gov/terrestrial_ec…

Congrats to Dr. John F. Pearson, with the help of @UofUBiology Assistant Professor Jonathan Wang, on securing a $50k 1U4U Innovation Funding Seed Grant! Their project will explore the effects of urban heat islands on postoperative outcomes, bridging climate science and medicine. 🌡️🌍🩺 Learn more: uofuanesthesia.link/24-pearson-1u4u #UofUAnesthesiology #ClimateHealth #ResearchInnovation #AnesthesiologyElevated
