A throwback #FireScarFriday to this special catface I visited last fall in the redwoods. It had a short informational trail with some cool diagrams of tree rings and scar evidence. Science in the woods is 🔥🔥🔥

So incredibly heartened by my colleagues who are fighting like hell for a world where people have access to the arts and humanities, not because it serves STEM, but because this is about nourishing our humanity

📣Hey journalists who want to cover the 3400 federal employees who just got fired📣 I’m developing a list of folks who were fired and who are down for interviews, primarily trails, river rangers and some folks who did collateral fire duties as needed (as of right now). DM me if you need sources!

For #FireScarFriday here’s a beaut that’s now a remnant snag. Approx 12 scars, which is incredible for this area, and with clear periodicity in their occurrence, indicating frequent low-intensity fire was the norm for this area. Found in Riverside State Park.

Missed #TreeRingTuesday so here’s a belated entry. This is a jack pine collected from the Ridgeway Pine Relicts in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. I love the color changes in the latewood and the ring formations. Some TRD clustered around the shift which is interesting.

The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January

For millennia, the Karuk people in Northern California have used fire to actively manage forests. Murphy Woodhouse and Bill Tripp join us to discuss how the tribe is training others in this practice.

Over 2.5 billion years ago, trillions of tiny Cyanobacteria spent hundreds of millions of years creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere on Earth. Take a deep breath. How are you using your oxygen today? Be present. Give freely. Care for others. Make your ancient microbial cousins proud. Exhale. Repeat.

THERE IS TOO MUCH DISASTER NEWS. I once again hit Substack's word limit. They've GOT to do something about this 😳 Hopefully I managed to cover the really big disaster things from the past two weeks and gave some space for venting and laughing. #GreySky disasterology.substack.com/p/disasterol...

Work in progress map I’m making for fun. These three trees are the largest on Earth for their species. Tree-ring data came from the Wood Database, point data are my own collection. The interactive image cropping in Pro is being difficult today 😅😅
