I should do some more statistics analyses, but yes, I think that is correct. In general I'm a weekend runner, but for the middle years I lived 20 km from Sydney and would run to work midweek.

It was for a practical reason. I didn't do the coding and I don't host the server, so this answer is vague. From memory, one year of data to explore was a compromise to allow interactive graphics while keeping the speed fast.

We've made an offer. Thank you to all who shared.

Strength in numbers has served us well at my institution. Earth Science is in a School of Biological Earth and Environmental Sciences. Lower student intake in any one subject can often be covered by another.

Thank you, I didn't know that.
Things are a bit different here in Australia. Earth Science student numbers cycle up and down over time, without a long term trend. However, the long term average is low, and increasingly below what university management consider viable.

Very nice! La Nina = wet here across much of Australia, but also highly seasonal. Would you plan to design global maps for seasons? That would be cool.

Earth Science positions have been cut in many countries. Did you get a sense of whether that particularly affected #AGU25 numbers this year? (Writing as an Earth Scientist intentionally not entering the USA).
