Making a climate model that works well is really, really hard. So hard, in fact, that the people who do make it happen rarely have the time or energy to talk about how hard it is on the internet. So most other people have very little understanding about how hard it is... But boy is it hard #NorESM3

We published! I am very excited to share this story. Our study shows that Taxus mortality is not caused by competition. Many deaths began with mechanical damage from fallen trees more than a decade ago, starting a long decline that led to recent mortality.
