I’m just so angry. We are nonstop receiving these intentionally terrorizing emails at all hours of the day and week (or waiting for them to arrive…).

Is global warming affecting regional drought across Europe and Asia? Yes. New paper by me, @dustybowl.bsky.social and his dad agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Americans in the West want Federal Lands to be Federal Lands not state lands www.outdoorlife.com/conservation...

Last time America was "great" at industry and had minimal regulation, bald eagles were on the brink of extinction and a river caught on fire.

My building only has Tesla charges so lol, rare w

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

Our class turbidity current kicked off today! We collected some velocity measurements with the profiling ADV, as well as acoustic backscatter amplitude as a proxy for sediment concentration 🤓

An inspiring article on courageous community college leaders who are *publicly* organizing and standing up against DEI attacks.. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Our chicken-crap congressperson, Tom McClintock, only sends his staff to town halls and never goes himself citing “safety concerns”. My mom reports the staff told crowd she’d end the meeting if voices were raised, LOL.

At this point, I feel like massive protests need to happen sooner rather than later while there is less risk of being legally murdered by our military.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

I wonder if you can guess, without reading the headlines, which TWO people in this picture just got fired from the Joint Chiefs. Go ahead, take a wild guess. Pick two.

“They’re trying to actually not make the government more efficient, but disrupt the government and disrupt citizen services that the American people need in order to conduct their daily lives,” she said.

They dont care. www.waff.com/2025/02/21/5...

Does anyone know of any geology internships or REU for graduating high school seniors in California that are still happening?

Over the past month, the Trump administration has enacted dramatic budget cuts and mass layoffs across federal health and science agencies. Dr. Sudip Parikh, CEO of @aaas.org, joins us to discuss the cuts and how the scientific community can respond.

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government. Read more: bit.ly/4gRiHAk

Are any science folks out there curating a list of legit article links related to the science cuts and effects on society? It’s like a firehose of info and I’m having a hard time keeping up with what I can pass along to my students.

A period of very warm mid-winter conditions appear likely for much of California and portions of the interior West in late Feb. A strong ridge will form during this period, with large-scale subsidence & warm air advection allowing for a genuine winter "heat wave" next week. #CAwx

Already seeing multiple NPS parks needing to close for 1-2 days a week due to being short-staffed after the federal workforce firings. Are we great yet?

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

‼️The US-based @ipcc.bsky.social technical support unit (TSU) for Working Group 3 Co-Chairs has been terminated, and the US won’t be attending next week’s IPCC meeting where the AR7 chapter outlines will be approved. More by @afreedma.bsky.social here:

Take my previous job! We are hiring for the Research Director for the Center for Science and Democracy at @ucsusa.bsky.social . If ever there was a time where this position is impactful it is now. apply.workable.com/union-of-con...

Pssst! It’s @xenolith.bsky.social birthday today! She’s a great teacher, geologist, mom and partner. For $53 I’ll tell you how old she is.

@science.org just published this article about the Paleontological Research Institution and its importance in this time of financial crisis for the institution. Please share widely as donations in any amount can make a real difference in the short-medium term. ⚒️🧪🦑 www.science.org/content/arti...

In 2023, atmospheric rivers dumped tons of precipitation on California. While the green vegetation and flooding was obvious, it’s not quite so easy to track how this affected groundwater. A recent paper shows how seismometers can help measure that! ⬇️ https://loom.ly/o8RhbpQ
