My latest story for @AGU_Eos, about a toxic metal in the Baltic Sea and why it matters in planning for clean-up of dead zones.

In my latest for @AGU_Eos, I wrote about a new tool in the kit for managers monitoring snowpack with an eye toward water availability. Love to see graduate students publishing their work and talking with me about it!

Many Western states rely on snowpack. A new metric from @mtnAragon @EngineeringOSU will help calculate how much water the snow is storing as climate change reduces precip and increases temperatures. Comments from Xubin Zeng @uarizona. Story by @AmyHMayer. eos.org/articles/chang…

Because witnessing a total #Eclipse isn’t enough science excitement for one week, I also wrote about #Antarctic for @AGU_Eos and it came out today!

I've already received some emails from groups throughout the country seeking to replicate what these Nebraska orgs have done to connect refugees to jobs and help address manufacturing labor shortages. Featured this on NPR's Morning Edition npr.org/2024/04/01/124…

During Roman disease outbreaks, the climate was cooler and dryer than usual. New #paleoclimate work from the Gulf of Taranto has a 3yr resolution model. I wrote about it for @AGU_Eos eos.org/articles/roman…

My latest piece for @CivilEats looks at a Farmworker-to-farm owner program’s success.

Civil Eats@CivilEats

California’s farmworkers face untold barriers accessing the land, capital, and training needed to strike out on their own. For 20 years, ALBA has been slowly changing the landscape for this important group of aspiring growers. @AmyHMayer reports ⬇️ buff.ly/3Ho5cJ9

@titonka Professional AND Iowan. Great combo.

@peggyllowe It’s awful and the big media are in denial about how much they rely on local outlets. I think a nonprofit model has to be figured out for hometown news but it can’t rely exclusively on national philanthropy.

A Lost Lake Farm cheese/farm announcement thread for those of you that have been following along and/or follow my husband @lostlakefarmer. After 7 years of commercial production, we are going to pause cheese-making until 2025. All livestock is leaving the farm while we reset.
