What happens on land shape the coastal health 🌱riparian vegetation reduces coastal turbidity up to 800 m offshore, right where #coral reefs and #seagrass thrive. Pasture and roads increase turbidity @lauradee.bsky.social @oceannoe.bsky.social

Exactly

Does it also have persistent dynamics?

Thank you!

oooh thanks I'll have a look!

🔥 (actually fire)

oh ok so didn't do any cumulative, I see. Cool looking papers though - thanks for sharing!

sigh - yes seems non-trivial! Ideas? Can you share your papers?

and group??

yes basically a time dependent dose-response??

😆😅 Thanks for reposting!
Hi #causalsky - Has anyone done a dynamic DiD set up when we have accumulating treatments or multiple events with cumulative effects? Some units are true controls, some have one event, some have multiple at different points in time. @jmwooldridge.bsky.social @pedrosantanna.bsky.social please Repost!

We offer a 2-year postdoc position in Climate Change Epidemiology at Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD) in Sevilla, Spain, to work in the international Wellcome project BREATHE.

All signs point to Trump’s second term creating a hotter and less affordable future for Americans.

Without new offshore turbines going up, millions of households across the Northeast will soon pay more money for dirtier and less reliable electricity.

The demolition of the offshore wind sector in 2025 will reverberate for decades, resulting in lost jobs, higher utility bills, and less reliable power…

The next online installment of ESTIMATE: The Reduced Form is coming on Dec 11-12. I've continued to unify and expand regression-based methods to apply to exit, non-binary treatments, DDD, discrete outcomes, and more.

All proceeds to the MSU economics PhD program.

I'm trying to organise conferences and workshops that I want to go to in 2026. Is there a decent list out there for ecology and conservation people anywhere? Everything I've come across by Googling seems to be full of predatory conferences.

A heads-up for anyone interested in research quality, repeatability & transparency: I'm leading a 2-hour session at 10 am UK-time tomorrow, in conjunction with others.
Hopefully this can form the basis of a guidelines paper, so we're hoping you can join online to guide us in the right direction. 🌐🌎

Very true! Ah that’s interesting I didn’t know that about psych.

Yes I know that they aren’t - that’s something well studied in other fields so that’s why I was surprised to see this in pnas. What’s the problem with changing the estimand if heterogeneity is part of the question and important?
