🌪️Can communities really "build back better" after a natural disaster?
📈A new #JAERE study finds they can. Eight years after disasters triggering federal aid, per capita income in U.S. counties is 0.5% higher, driven by rebuilding that lifts local wages and home prices.

Just in time for #EarthDay, a dark-eyed JUNKO has made her nest UNDER the parsley in my raised-bed vegetable garden.
The eggs are very small, ~ 3/4" long.
The nest is beautifully constructed from fine strands.
She flies off when I approach.
I REALLY hope she likes slugs.
Nature is amazing!

Short piece on a study determining how to clean a home that has survived a wildfire but was close enough to be affected by the smoke. #wildfire #smoke
theconversation.com/wildfire-smo...
theconversation.com/wildfire-smo...
Wildfire smoke leaves harmful gases in floors and walls − air purifiers aren’t enough, new study shows, but you can clean it up
Wildfire smoke, even from fires far away, carries potentially harmful gases that, once inside, tend to stick around. An air quality specialist offers an easy, cheap, effective way to deal with it.

Here's a schematic I published in this 2021 piece to illustrate how even a modest delay in onset of rainy season in Southern California can dramatically amplify wildfire risk by lengthening seasonal overlap between dry vegetation and strong offshore winds during Oct-Jan. #CAfire

Did everything feel a bit more mathematical this morning? That's because 2025 is a perfect square ✅!
Yes, 2025 is 45² = (1+2+...+9)².
It's the first square year since 1936, and the next one is 2116.
But that's not all… read on ⬇️👀

Hydropower Was Ecuador’s Answer to Climate Change. Until the Drought Hit.
An extraordinary drought has drained Ecuador’s rivers and reservoirs, leading to power outages of up to 14 hours. Some fear this is the beginning of a larger global crisis.
