Isn’t it a lovely(!) day to clean your code and make it reproducible? Also a great way to procrastinate other not-so-fun tasks on a gloomy Monday!

Can we create a finer resolution population map by using ancillary data particularly in coastal adaptation? The answer has been yes for a long time ( thanks to dasymetric mapping), but @brown-ibes.bsky.social student, Fiona Harrington, had a little bit more to say about it during #AAG2025!

Dear Diary,
I saw #auroraborealis from my home last night. I am just a lucky Mass resident.

The picture shows aurora borealis lights which have pink and pale green shades within a night sky partially covered by trees.
