Stanford’s new sustainability school is not without controversy; the #StanfordGEF was visited by some creative and polite protesters, particularly unhappy about the ExxonMobil CEO and Exxon funding for the school.

A dark money group is running ads promoting fossil fuels and attacking clean energy in the final weeks before the election. The PAC has spent more than $1 million to reach voters in 7 swing states. And someone just sent me documents revealing who's funding it. 🧵

Like many of you, I'm frustrated with the new owner's actions here. Trying out @[email protected] on Mastodon. Not deleting things here quite yet. In the meantime, 💚 and wishing those of you in Egypt a happy and fruitful #COP27!

Recently there have been a lot of news stories about residents suing offshore wind projects. But most stories fail to mention an important detail: Many of the lawsuits are being funded by a think tank that gets money from the fossil fuel industry. 🧵 popular.info/p/fossil-fuel-…

Ok, friends, today's the day*: we've reached 8 billion people. Where and when will we peak? How do we sustain Earth's biodiversity and climate AND bring up the quality of life in many regions? Lots for people to work on here. *approximately washingtonpost.com/world/interact…

The 1st project I started in grad school back in 2015 and my final dissertation chapter is now out Ecology! We used a 1960s common garden of red oak to test for differences in phenological sensitivity to climate change. See the early view version here: doi.org/10.1002/ecy.39…

Economies impact ecosystems locally but externalities due to these impacts can be felt regionally & globally. How do we deal with this complexity? 👇 The missing markets link in global-to-local-to-global analyses of #biodiversity and ecosystem services iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

I'm looking to hire a postdoctoral fellow to work on interactions among microclimates, vegetation, and ecosystem processes across heterogeneous landscapes. The position is based at Carnegie/Stanford, and would involve fieldwork and land surface modeling. jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdocto…

Today: 5th National Climate Assessment out in the US. Represents years of work from 100s of scientists, including me (Midwest chapter). Lots of good information and resources regarding climate change, its impacts, and how we can respond, + "art x climate" nca2023.globalchange.gov
