New Orleans has contended with hurricanes, heat waves and the occasional ice storm. But snow? Not so much. The city went 15 years without measurable snow until Tuesday morning. nyti.ms/40q7Kzx

Fieldwork recharges your brain and primes you to observe and learn about natural systems. We need to do more of it.

🔴 2023 was also the driest year for global rivers in 33 years. 🌡️ Rising temperatures are speeding up the hydrological cycle, making it more erratic and unpredictable. 🔵 This means we’re increasingly facing extremes—too much water in some places and too little in others.

Daily streamflow from 1984 to 2018 in approximately 2.9 million rivers globally. 👉 The numbers set the play! More flow upstream and less flow downstream. 👉 The title says it all! Incredible dataset on the hydrosphere awaiting to be crossed with biosphere data! 🧪🌐🌍 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🌳 Did you know? Brazil lost over km² of tree cover between 2001 & 2023! 🌲 That’s the size of Germany + Italy! 😱 My map shows the areas of loss in pink 🔴 and the % of tree cover in 2000 in shades of green 🟢. Check out how I make maps like this here: youtu.be/wruLRZZpQsk #dataviz #maps #GIS #Amazon
