I work on rivers. Sometimes they let me visit them in the field!

Many data sets held by NOAA are being "retired" in may, including datasets relevant to ocean sciences and climate. If you have need for these data, or are an archivist, it would be good to download this now. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY. www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume...

The USGS office that monitors all metro Atlanta rivers (and much more) is set to close at the end of August.
Congress has just released a list of federal DOI offices to be closed under the ongoing massacre of our natural resource agencies -- it's extensive and includes many important NPS, BLM, USGS and USFWS facilities across the country. Truly horrific. democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/do...

NOAA returns/produces so much more money to the American economy than it costs, no stories about any of this should allow them the absolutely bullshit "savings" framing

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.

@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

As far as estimating how much climate change affected this event, there is an entire new field of research, extreme event attribution, that allows us to figure this out. See, e.g., this paper by @weatherwest.bsky.social

Attributing Extreme Events to Climate Change: A New Frontier in a Warming World
The emerging field of extreme-event attribution (EEA) seeks to answer the question: “Has climate change influenced the frequency, likelihood, and/or s…

Just a regular reminder: the ArcticDEM is one of the most beautiful spatial datasets out there. I've been working on a large tile set for our #arctic abrupt thaw mapping activities recently and I can't help but stop and take a peek as the data rolls in.

NEW: An academic study released last week reveals how the Alberta Energy Regulator has vastly underreported the volume and environmental impact of bitumen tailings spills.

New report debunks Alberta Energy Regulator's tailings spills data
Regulator's data lacks crucial evidence of environmental harm, with spill volumes and footprints vastly understated, ecologist Kevin Timoney finds.
