Great work and a great thread! So many excellent examples and insights to follow up onπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I know that this risks being "too soon" -- but does anyone have a definitive reading on planning, urban(re)development, etc. in Post-Katrina NO that provides key insights into things that went right and wrong there; and how we might learn from that experience when comes to what's next in LA?

Incredible! I will never stop being fascinated by this sort of detective work -- so many tools and insights being brought to bear to create these reconstructions.

Wow! This is an epic lesson in systems dynamics! Beautifully presented β€” thank you πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³πŸ’‹

Awesome, painstaking, detailed work! Kudos!!

such an excellent question! I'm sorry I don't have any answer for you, but I'll be eagerly following this, and hoping it generates some good material for you!

Fantastic! This will absolutely feature in early lessons in my intro courses πŸ‘πŸ‘

**Many** hours on the team bus back in the day on one of those!

This is a great thread...yeah, it rambles, but stick with it (especially until you get to the exchange at the end)

If you've ever been frustrated by trying to access data from satellites like #Landsat or #Sentinel2, tune into our very first #OpenDataCube community talk next week by Caitlin Adams: how to easily load satellite data for anywhere on the planet using the #OpenSource #odcstac Python package! πŸ›°οΈπŸš€

Fascinating work (as always) out of Dr. Gill's lab!

How do rare plant species respond to habitat fragmentation? We've been testing this question for the past 18 years, through demographic studies of a half dozen longleaf pine savanna groundlayer species in the SRS Corridor Project fragmentation experiment πŸ§ͺ

Here is how daily global surface temperatures have changed since the 1940s. Note that global temperatures show a modest seasonal cycle due to a higher proportion of land are in the Northern Hemisphere.

A tangential note on the topic of "teach kids that a chatbot is not a search engine, goddammit." I've spent the past 3 months in my first-year courses teaching principles, practices, questions of evidence, conceptualization, and citation. 1/

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems. We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧡

Superb opening plenary by Nathalie Seddon setting out a framework for connecting features of indigenous local knowledge to ecological principles #BES2024

This is so spot on. As a climate scientist and public intellectual, I see or experience these often

Incredible work! Just finished working with my Forest Ecology class on a Coarse Woody Debris field survey…this is a great summation of why we were doing what we were doing!

So, I’ll answer my own question. After already dropping $13M in taxpayer dollars into Lake Darling, it’s still so polluted we are now gonna (literally) dump another ~$3M in chemicals (alum) to try and stop algal blooms. And we will spend more money doing the same on other lakes, too. Insanity.

A work of art on so many levels πŸ₯²

Love the idea of a "Cone of Plausibility" & I couldn't agree more with this take -- would love to see the spread of more optimistic visions of the future (Hello "Star Trek") and less the dystopian hole we seem to have crawled into.

For my dataz literacy folks: How are we teaching people how to read charts now and how has it changed over time? Is there a #dataviz equivalent of phonics vs whole word chart learning? I'm reading some articles about the current challenges with traditional literacy and wonder if we have it too.

Astounding. Terrifying. What has become of our country?

Simply some of the best writing you'll ever be likely to see hakaimagazine.com/features/the... Kudos to writer J.B. MacKinnon (jbmackinnon.bsky.social) (I think that's them?). Too bad about Hakai Magazine (@hakaimagazine.com) but looks like they have a strategy in place to continue in some form!

Trying something new: A 🧡 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their πŸ“Š look more professional than my πŸ“Š?" It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social πŸ”— www.ft.com/content/73a1...

We're seeing news of 1 in a 1000 year rainfall events, and of rivers reaching record height from Helene For a while, something has worried me about estimates of flood and precipitation return levels in the South and Southeast US, and (for once) it's not climate change. 1/
