📽️ Join us for the first U.S. screening of a new documentary which explores the successes and challenges of the Cuban agri-food system through the voices of farmers and specialists, who make the case for why #agroecology is the path to achieve #foodsovereignty.

APPLY BY OCT. 23 Gund Institute for Environment & @UVMComplexity seek a postdoc fellow in Spatial Modeling of Nature Exposure & Health. The postdoc will join #UVM's Lived Experiences Measured Using Rings Study, looking at daily nature exposure data in 500 participants. go.uvm.edu/yevwq

We're hiring! We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher and PhD student to work on a new collaborative project investigating impacts of warming winters on phytoplankton phenology & ecosystem function. More details here: bit.ly/3LSZKAu Rubenstein School GLEON

How does nature affect your mental health? We’re finding out using wearable tech and an amazing team. Join us!

The prize for most original poster at #AEET2023 so far definitely goes to iBartomeus et al for this amazing effort!

“Vermont has the most spectacular fall foliage in the world”, Bill Keeton tells the The New York Times in this timely look at Vermont’s tourism sector. #UVM forest scientist Keeton explains how climate change impacts fall colors across the Northeast. Full story: go.uvm.edu/nhjl5

Join us for a fun and unique postdoc fellowship! We seek an exceptional scientist to develop rigorous and practical spatial models relating nature experiences to well-being. Big project, great team, awesome data! More info and apply at: go.uvm.edu/dsgte

We manage what we measure, so let’s measure what matters. Companies conducting business in Europe will now have to do that. And this report will help them use new tech to get started quickly. It’s been a pleasure working with Planet Microsoft Natural Capital Project on this.

Vermonters checked off a spring rite Sunday: ice-out at West Danville's Joe's Pond. Such local observations are a "goldmine" of data for climatologists, says State Climatologist & #UVM prof. Lesley-Ann Dupigny-Giroux. go.uvm.edu/dn3wb from Vermont Public's Abagael Giles

Once you've experienced a hurricane or a wildfire, do your views change? New #UVM research found that once they'd experienced an extreme weather event, Americans would be more willing to pay for climate policy. It's all summed up here: youtube.com/watch?v=qJC69p…

Our new paper, led by Dr. Maxime Eeraerts, examines how #pollination deficits & their relation with insect #pollinator visitation are cultivar-dependent in an entomophilous crop (#Blueberry) in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment: doi.org/10.1016/j.agee… (🐝📸Jason Gibbs)

So much fun to be working with and learning from Laura and the whole Vermont Complex Systems Center @ UVM crew on this. Stay tuned for much more to come!

Postdoc alert! Join us to understand the impacts of nature on mental health. You'll join a large ongoing experiment using wearable technologies, spatial analysis, and behavioral science. Great group, big questions, fun tech. uvm.edu/gund/postdocto…

Last summer's flood effects are still visible on Vermont's landscapes and Vermonters' lives. Now, #UVM researchers are using #AI to improve flood maps as we prepare for more climate-change-driven extreme weather. From NOVA | PBS & Vermont Public: go.uvm.edu/zirta
