The land is drying out according to @NASA satellites & other data as heavier, less frequent rainfall runs off rather than replenishing ground water & a thirstier atmosphere more effectively saps soil moisture. Blog: science.nasa.gov/earth/nasa-sat… Paper: doi.org/10.1007/s10712…

We are pleased to inform you, we are now launching RFA 24-3: Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award. The award supports early career investigators, at the Assistant Professor or equivalent level, who are interested in the health effects of air pollution. 1/3

Our latest report, "Something in the Air: Bridging the Air Quality Data Gap with Satellite Technology," shows how satellite data can give communities across the US better insight into air quality. Learn more: Lung.org/something-in-t…

The American Lung Association released a new report with HAQAST analysis, "Something in the Air: Bridging the Air Quality Data Gap with Satellite Technology", tracking unhealthy levels of PM2.5 in areas without ground-based monitors. Read it here: lung.org/getmedia/66d68…

The risk of an #AMOC shutdown - explained in 15 minutes at the Arctic Circle in Reykjavik on Saturday. I had the honor of presenting a letter by 44 experts warning of that underestimated risk to many countries. Watch the video: youtu.be/k0FUZKQhU6U?t=…

Interesting experiment. nytimes.com/2024/10/22/wor…

Biggest climate news in California this week: Phillips 66 says it will shutter its Los Angeles-area oil refinery next week. Nobody saw this coming, at least not so soon. Details from my @latimes colleague @ldarmiento: latimes.com/business/story…

Excited to share my latest work in ES&T Letters @EnvSciTech! We find that US air pollution monitoring network lacks adequate coverage, leaving millions of people unprotected under the stricter 2024 PM2.5 standard. With @joshapte and @MarshallJulian pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

New NASA-funded research reveals higher levels of particulate pollution in Southern California ZIP codes with more or larger warehouses. Diesel truck emissions from these e-commerce hubs contribute to poor air quality, affecting local communities. More: go.nasa.gov/3zLJBKF

Students: There is space for you at @NASA. 🤝 Hear from students sharing their stories of supporting @NASAJPL. Plus, experiences like these are a great way to prepare for future internships! Get involved: stem.nasa.gov
