As an English girl now living in Idaho, I often get asked 'How did you end up here?'

My peregrination involved new landscapes, rugged trails, and adventure. Here's my story!

Absolutely incredible visuals by @loelebee.bsky.social, with words by @dwharton.bsky.social, showing how fire-stricken suburbs can rebuild safer. Most understandable explainer I've seen on this topic: www.latimes.com/california/s...
Can fire-gutted suburbs rebuild safer? Here's what the experts say
Though no community can be made fireproof, discarding past urban design practices could make areas abutting wilderness safer from the kind of wildfire that hit Altadena and Pacific Palisades.

Stoked to have contributed to this work along with @trevorcaughlin.bsky.social led by @pyroscientist.bsky.social! She demonstrates how to integrate data sources to make maps that identify various built infrastructure types and improve upon existing datasets spatially, temporally, and thematically.
I am excited to share our new paper on mapping built infrastructure using remote sensing data integration and open-source cloud computing.

There are THREE! Count em THREE memoirs coming out in 2025/2026 by women/non-binary folks who have worked as wildland firefighters or hotshots. Here they are, for those interested in pre-orders or learning more about the authors.

New paper in #Ecosystems by Rock, Shoup et al. shows how mountain West US ecosystems are at risk as climate-driven disturbances ( #fires , #barkbeetle outbreaks, etc.) intensify, with effects on water quality and quantity. @steve-carpenter.bsky.social @springer1842.bsky.social
