🔥🌲 Climate-driven wildfires pose a large and growing threat to people and planet. #Stanford research is studying the impact of frequent & intense wildfire, considering how we can adapt, and exploring solutions.

While it's surreal to see a chapter of my dissertation in NYT, I'm grateful for the opportunity to bring the conversation about impending ecological transitions and their implications to a broad audience.
Thanks to coauthors @chrfield @connornolan @khemesphere @trevorcambron
A warming climate has created "zombie forests." A fifth of the conifer forests that blanket California's Sierra Nevada are left stranded in habitats that no longer suit them, according to a new Stanford University study. nyti.ms/3mxC62I

A bottom-up view of fire-driven changes in decomposition may help to elucidate counterintuitive trends in the response of soil carbon to burning and open avenues to the sustainable use of fire for nature-based climate solutions

As a new owner of both indoor+outdoor PurpleAir sensors, and as a new user of these data for multiple research projects, I wanted to look at sensor ownership by income. This is important for understanding how to use these sensors to track air qual across different demographics

On the left, California at 11am this morning from satellite. On the right, the same shot at 7pm this evening. Shows you the enormous amount of smoke sent into the atmosphere from numerous fires that broke out today. #CreekFire #ValleyFire #ElDoradoFire

Temperate forests usually cool the land surface, especially when it is hot. Exciting new work in @GlobalChangeBio by Quan Zhang @mallory_barnes @LizBurakowski @koongyi #NoTwitterChrisOishi @Novick_Lab_IU and more onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

1/8 What a disgrace. We are in a crisis and one thing that is sorely missing from the Trump Administration is an understanding of... Science.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and is responsible for about a quarter of the warming we have experienced to-date. Reducing methane emissions is an important part of climate mitigation. Its also important to understand that methane is very different from CO2.

New report on how CA can be a leader in negative emissions! I was predisposed to be skeptical, because of the history of reports on "technical potentials" that don't look at social feasibility. Here's why I thought the report was great.

Our @NASAEarth Aqua satellite took this natural-color image of southeastern Australia on Jan. 4 showing smoke from wildfires. Some white patches above the smoke are likely to be pyrocumulonimbus clouds created by convection and heat rising from a fire: go.nasa.gov/2QugXUM

Thread. I go to a lot of meetings where I have only a modest level of knowledge about the field. Which is great, because then I learn a lot. But I don’t understand the main point of many talks. #DarkConfessions #scicomm

The new normal? 😟
This is what the Greenland Ice Sheet looks like today: May 5, 2019. 💧
It's warmer here than in many places back home in 🇺🇸.
Ponds overwhelm the surface, and rivers are raging. This 👇 is what its like to have the melt season start nearly a month early.

The ice disk has a webcam! mooseheadwebcams.com/index.p…
I took today's timelapse and sped it up even more so you can watch the ice collect toward the bottom of the screen. I bet the thing stops spinning (AGAIN) by morning. #MEwx

Scientists measured evapotranspiration (ET) at several sites in the #sacdelta. (ET = process of transferring water from the land to the atmosphere) 💦
Can you guess which site had the lowest annual ET?
#nationaltriviaday #sciencefriday
56%Grazed cattle pasture
12%Wetland, with open water
25%Wetland, less open water
6%Flooded rice field

I also created an animated version which helps to emphasize how weather conditions during California's fire season have evolved over time. #CaliforniaFires #ClimateChange

check out our article on GHG from alternate wetting and drying (AWD) practices in CA rice--article highlights importance of LCA when evaluating the significance of AWD.
