🚨 Large polluters are still poisoning our air while @govkathyhochul.bsky.social delays action. www.nyforcleanair.com is demanding bold leadership—it's time to release the cap-and-invest rules and start cutting pollution! #CleanAirNY #CapAndInvestNow

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

This accompanies the panicked calls I've been getting from my DOS program managers today about funding requests. We have been funded by DOS to work on international air pollution issues (which of course does not know political boundaries).

An interactive map from @ncdp.bsky.social compiles data from official sources (FEMA, CAL FIRE, NOAA, NASA, EPA, ESRI, more) to track California wildfire perimeters, air quality, evacuation orders/shelters, damage assessments, disaster recovery centers, demographics/social vulnerability, and more.

As California battles wildfires, Climate School experts like @lamontearth.bsky.social's Mingfang Ting, @dwesty.bsky.social, @jatanbuch.bsky.social and @ncdp.bsky.social's Jeff Schlegelmilch & Jonathan Sury are helping to make sense of how they became so destructive, and what's needed for recovery.

The immediate loss of life and property is of course the main concern right now. But when the smoke clears, the risk does not end, unfortunately. If you have access to N95 masks and indoor air filters, now is the time to use them to reduce exposure to toxic air.

Large wildfires can spread smoke hundreds of miles, affecting the atmosphere for millions of people and triggering air quality warnings. @lamontearth.bsky.social climate scientist @dwesty.bsky.social and UMass Amherst's Richard Peltier provide guidance to protect yourself. Via @cnet.com.

A student working with me requested an account to access USEPA's vast air quality database. He was denied, due to not being a member of a federal, state, or tribal air agency. This is despite half of my group having an account, and the website stating that researchers are eligible for accounts.

We had a pretty memorable #LDEO #Columbia Colloquium presentation today from Dr. David Valentine, who discovered half a million barrels of DDT and radioactive waste dumped off the coast of southern California. New documentary on this is out: www.outofplainsight.com
