I’m raw from the current US admin’s assaults on women, academics and immigrants, three groups whose intersection I sit at. And I’m failing to find my rhythm on mastodon, and missing what I had on pre-X twitter. So I’ll be lurking here a bit, hoping folks whose voices I’ve missed are active.

When we put extra roadblocks in the way of doing science, excellent researchers leave the field. Our capacity to answer important questions falters. Ultimately, our preparedness for our changing climate decreases and more Americans get hurt.

Because of the new directives around NOAA contracts, UCAR has had to furlough all current C&GC fellows as they have not received funding from NOAA to keep paying us. The funding is still obligated but the timeline for receiving funds is unknown.

You know those “Antarctica Today” posts I’d put up for a while, showing surface melt extent accross Antarctica for every day of the melt season (Oct - April)?
They relied 100% on this data stream. Take it offline, that goes away completely.
Sea ice extent uses it too.

While speaking about the need for post-wildfire restoration, I once blurted, on a public stage, that since some human rights derive from ecosystem services, then private ownership of land could be incompatible with those human rights. I still don’t know how to sidestep or resolve this conflict.
I live in Taos. Zoom in to find Taos, NM on this map. Note how they are selling public land on all sides of us. Now imagine your watershed comes from those mountains. Your wildfire risk mitigation, on all sides, comes from federal management of those lands they now want to privatize.
