Professor of Atmospheric and Climate Science at the University of Washington. I study the natural and perturbed chemistry and composition of the atmosphere and how it interacts with weather and climate. But, I like other things too. Opinions my own, etc.

I never saw it, but was told one of my recs for grad school talked more about my saxophone playing than my capability for research.

Have to admit, Endnote was the best I've used so far (then Mendeley then Zotero)

OH MAN THIS IS INCREDIBLE
immediate feedback on carbon impacts of proposed design.
DLT (217tCO2e) v. CLT (304 tCO2e) v. concrete (1,080 tCO2e)

what's interesting is that the embodied carbon goes down when you jump from 6 to 8 stories.
assuming 6 units per floor (3 per stair core) - you're looking at a 10% reduction in embodied CO2 per unit.
alas, US single stair regs don't allow 8 story PABs...

Or 2 car garages with a driveways that cut into the sidewalk to make a mini rollercoaster bike ride with 2 cars parked in the street too

The proposal is just the first step of the budget process. Congress often ignores budget requests. Time and again Trump/Musk have proven impotent at the smallest pushback. So, it is time to push back, loud. Call your Reps and Senators, even if they are GOP—especially if they are GOP.

The street layout is built on the concept of “filtered permeability”, meaning the network geometry favours the active transport modes and filters out through motor traffic. As a result, 73% of movements are made by foot or bike, with the rate of car ownership just 183 per 1,000 people (and falling).
