INPA procura candidato(a) para pós-doutorado no Projeto “Integrando a hidrologia do solo e características hidráulicas para entender os riscos de mortalidade às secas das árvores gigantes” com o projeto “GIGANTE” (www.caryinstitute.org/science/rese...). @treeco-db.bsky.social @evangora.bsky.social

In our new paper in @science.org, we show that tropical forests are changing over time, but too slowly to track climate change. Our article, led by @jeaggu.bsky.social just out: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @oxfordgeography.bsky.social @naturerecovery.bsky.social @forestplots.bsky.social

Are tropical forests in the Americas changing as adaptation to ongoing climate change? Yes, they are! Are these changes enough to track their suitable climate? Not quite! Check out our paper in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... to see more of what our network has been working on!

Join us in sunny South Australia! Postdoc position in my group at the University of Adelaide to use UAV LiDAR and remote sensing to examine forest recovery and responses to weather extremes: careers.adelaide.edu.au/cw/en/job/51...

Post-doc opportunity in Oxdord for those with a background in Ecology and remote sensing: my.corehr.com/pls/coreport...

📢 18-month postdoc in my lab doing drought modelling with either the UK land surface model JULES or machine learning. Up to you which. Please share widely (thanks) www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de... Closes: 18th January

Using remote sensing to study climate impacts on vegetation? Consider submitting an abstract to "CCS.18: Monitoring Climate Change Impacts on Vegetation" 2025 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium is coming to Brisbane, Australia Aug 3-8 Submission due by 10 January 2025!

Interested in using remote sensing to study forest recovery following fire? Well have I got the postdoc advert for you! careers.adelaide.edu.au/cw/en/job/51... Apply by Nov 21. Two year position based here in Adelaide, South Australia.

I'd love to connect with anyone working in satellite remote sensing/earth observation! 🛰️🌏 I've started a list of everyone I've found so far - please let me know if you're missing from the list, or if there's anyone else I should add! go.bsky.app/4PMRhNL

This rather fantastic recent piece is a great illustration of the value of code review, as well as sensitivity analyses. doi.org/10.1038/s414... But I think it is particularly instructive as commentary on our scientific process today. 🧵

Air temperature and vapor pressure deficit are highly correlated, yet they can have somewhat opposed effects on photosynthesis. (1/2) nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

1. Let's talk about an absolute disaster in the US science ecosystem. The NIH's BRAIN (Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) suffered catastrophic budget cuts—under Biden, no less—and now is unlikely to fund any new grants and will likely cut funding to existing grantees.

PACE data now available! Just in – data from our newest Earth-observing satellite, PACE! With PACE data, scientists can study microscopic life in the ocean and particles in the air, allowing us to monitor ocean health, air pollution, and impacts of climate change. More: go.nasa.gov/4aNNGe2 🧪

Ingeborg Levin by F.Vogel & S.Hammer🙏🏽 Never interested in judging herself or others by citation index, Ingeborg measured her contributions by the laboratories she helped establish & the crucial role she played in launching ICOS & building a global community www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

!!! "Space Force's budget has already surpassed NASA's, and the Pentagon is seeking $29.4 billion for the branch in 2025." www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/03/15/investing-in-space-where-nasa-made-cuts-in-its-budget-request-.html

These free textbooks published by Earth Observation Australia are great for anyone teaching remote sensing, or just needing a handy reference. www.eoa.org.au/earth-observ...
