These are the people who monitor and publish Lake Superior's conditions every day. Minnesotans along the North Shore rely on NOAA to know whether or not it’s safe to go out on the water. These agencies and their staff do real work that keeps us safe, it just goes unnoticed - until they’re gone.

🧪 The Water Resources Center wrc.umn.edu at the University of Minnesota is looking for a new director. Come be my colleague! Application info here: hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/366...

youtu.be/co7gJJHf6IQ Wonderful explanation of Euler’s Equation and foundation for Fourier transforms

🧪 New group paper by @mvermeuel.bsky.social! A vertically-resolved canopy improves chemical transport model predictions of ozone deposition to north temperate forests, in @agu.org JGR-Atmos. dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024... #Chemsky Thread! 1/7

Late-breaking job ad for a tenure-track position in climate science (broadly defined) at Harvard. The committee will start reviewing applications on January 21, 2025. Please share with interested candidates. academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/14496

Along with being the largest gathering of Earth scientists in the world, the AGU meeting may also be the largest concentration of backpack-wearing adults in the world (self included) #AGU24

Current (with Chengyuan hiding in the back) and past group pics at #AGU24!

Congratulations @mvermeuel.bsky.social on receiving the #AGU24 Holton Award!

@envchemjen.bsky.social is now on bluesky!! đź‘‹ Give her a follow!

The “What’s Next for Science” slogan for this meeting feels a little on the nose under the circumstances

Excited for a full week of sciencing with 25,000 of my best friends #AGU24

🧪 Hey , here is a starter pack for those interested in #atmoschem prepared by @coletteheald.bsky.social go.bsky.app/GgmWgSo

đź‘€ New group paper by @jaredbrewer.bsky.social -> measuring atmospheric ethane from space using the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) With: Kelley Wells, Vivienne Payne, Susan Kulawik, Corinne Vigouroux, Karen Cady-Pereira, Rick Pernak & Minqiang Zhou www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A nice highlight in AGU's EOS eos.org/editor-highl...

Come work at one of the world's best place to do (atmospheric) science! Application review begins Oct. 7th. www.applications.caltech.edu/jobs/atmosph...

Our new perspective piece is out in AGU Advances: Coordinated Geostationary, Multispectral Satellite Observations Are Critical for Climate and Air Quality Progress With @paulipalmer.bsky.social, Pieternel Levelt, Laura Gallardo, and @lshikwambana doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Lots of transitions in academia:

🧪 2 new group papers out this week: 1/2) Josh Shutter links satellite measurements of isoprene and formaldehyde to diagnose multiyear atmospheric OH changes over forests: including a long-term decrease in Southeast US + interannual variability in tropical regions due to ENSO doi.org/10.1126/scia...

"experts have been trying to reconcile the precise time, as set by atomic clocks, w/ somewhat unreliable speed at which Earth spins. Since 1972, authorities have added 27 leap seconds...Recently however, Earth's spin has sped up suggesting we might need to remove a sec from UTC" Negative leap second

A cool new job at U Minnesota: Full-time Director of Research for our Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center (UROC) to lead UROCs work in "health and wellness; education and lifelong learning; and community and economic development" uroc.umn.edu/news-events/...

Some professional news…

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750). To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.

I feel like this feedback I got from my 10th grade science teacher stands the test of time

Group photo! From recent bowling outing, with honorary member I.W. standing in for Jared (traveling) and Josh (remote). L-R: I.W., Kelley Wells, Chengyuan Hu, Trey Maddaleno, Uzzal Kumar Dash, @mvermeuel.bsky.social, me, Julieta Juncosa Calahorrano. Missing: @jaredbrewer.bsky.social, Josh Shutter

Greetings @danirabaiotti.bsky.social! New here; I study atmospheric composition and chemistry. Faculty member at U Minnesota. Any chance of getting added to What's Science? Thanks!
