What a lovely read. I felt lke it was ode to paying attention, an ode to passion, a love letter to spring, a fascinating look at the interconnectedness of life, and a warning of it all falling apart. It also got me more excited for spring in the front range. Bring on the Pasque flowers.

Hot off the presses, our new paper looking at eight different air quality models and their impact on ecosystem risk assessments. We used critical load exceedances to compare areas of model alignment and guide our analysis of which model parameters were leading to variability.

Such a loss.

I love seeing more attention being paid to air pollutants and their impacts. As long as funding doesn’t get cut with the new budget, the National Atmospheric Deposition Program should be launching a national monitoring network for PFAS at the end of the year.

Our new published paper developed convex hulls for 198 herbaceous species critical loads to expand their application to parks and forests. This uses the soil pH, temp, precip, and deposition data to highlight additional areas where our CL models can be applied.

Things are so chaotic and stomach-churning in our world right now. I find a lot of solace out in nature. I want to share a tiny slice of that with you. My book, #Phenology is available today! You can purchase it for 30% off today only with code MITP30 through penguinrandomhouse.com

Check out this great @westword.com article on my friend Lucy’s art show opening tonight that engaged youth in asking questions of what a world beyond fossil fuels looks like and highlights the air quality issues the Denver currently faces.

It's great seeing love for the NADP! And it's important to know that their funding is at risk with potential cuts to government programs so this won't be possible with "new" pollutants like PFAS, ammonia, and mercury...

Lovely article by @annehelen.bsky.social helping elucidate what is lost through the current purge of funding for services across the US. The attack on science, art, and service has been heartbreaking and I have been grieving the loss of the unseen connective tissue of society.

Six fired federal employees told me and @alexviveros.bsky.social about their science-related jobs — and what the public could lose without them. We talked to people from NIH, FDA, FAA, NPS, the Forest Service, and Fish & Wildlife for @sciencenews.bsky.social. www.sciencenews.org/article/fire...

It's kind of frustrating to start every conversation about a future project with "if our division exists later this year..." or "if there is any funding for science...".

Still absolutely gutted to start the week after losing multiple coworkers and collaborators to last Fridays purge, but keeping the work moving towards protecting our air quality is giving me life.

I love seeing more work looking at the how climate is altering the recovery path that we were on from reducing air pollution deposition; especially at the watershed level.

Streets should always be for people, not just on three Saturdays in December for 3 hours at a time. But when streets are for people, I am in the street.

Happy Winter Solstice! I hope you all embrace the natural cycles of rest and recovery. For those in the southern hemisphere, live for us!

Cool research coming out of my alma mater. I always appreciated how many undergrads participated in research at @ucriverside.bsky.social!

Science Advent 17 | This came from another friend from my grad school who I am super excited is still in the nitrogen game. Looking at overlapping impacts of disturbances is going to be crucial for understanding our near future. Especially recovery after large fires.

Science Advent 16 | Falling behind with this daily posting thing, but a new paper is a great way to catch up. Not a named author again, but have been working with this group about applying a new analysis on tree responses to deposition and climate variables.

Cleaning up some @inaturalist.bsky.social data today and it appears that someone at @brandeisuniversity.bsky.social is using it for a class :-)

Science Advent 15 | This one is kind of cheating because it came out December 29th of last year, but was a fun exercise in working with our Office of Communication to develop a more public facing article about our science. It is always interesting to get feedback on what words are considered jargony

Science Advent 14 | A big ongoing project has been trying to develop a repository for managers to access the information they need to respond to air pollution issues in their area. We work closely with the USFS, EPA, and FWS so that when we have overlapping issues, we are using the same data.

Science Advent 13 | One of the magical parts of big conferences like AGU is being able to search for keywords like "NADP" and find researchers who are studying similiar systems. At the end of 2023, I met Deni at her poster and got excited about her work filling a gap in our deposition knowledge.

Science Advent 12 | This book chapter came from the skeleton of a manuscript from 2021. This chapter reviews monitoring strategies to measure N deposition using wet and dry deposition, (2) throughfall, stemflow, and bulk deposition, and (3) biomonitoring of lichens and mosses across the globe.

Started Jingmas last night. I’m excited to end the year on a flavor high.

Science Advent 11 | Speaking of ammonia deposition, this year our office, working with the state of CO, released a milestone report for the Rocky Mountain Initiative. This is a collaborative effort to try to reduce ammonia emissions in CO's front range that travel into Rocky Mountain NP.
