🌿📷🌡️ Calling all #NearSurfaceRemoteSensing enthusiasts at #AGU24! Join us for the session "B21B – Advancing Environmental Monitoring through Near-Surface Imaging Technologies" 📅 Tuesday ⏰ 8:30–10:00 AM 📍 Room 151B

Congratulations to our 2024 #TinyGrants awardees (our 6th cohort!!): Mengyun Sun, Ashley Cao, Gescilam Mota, Ryoko Araki, and Charlie Devine! 🥳 The program helps offset the costs of attending AGU (American Geophysical Union) Fall Meeting for early-career ecohydrologists!.

“This project would further establish the University of Arizona as a global hub for dryland research,” said Dave Moore, professor, program chair and researcher. ARID is one of only two projects that were invited to scope out a full project report under NASA’s Terrestrial Ecology

Honored to have been given the opportunity to speak about our work with GPS reflectometry in southern AZ!

What an incredible group for our first Ecohydro lunch meet up of the week at #AGU24! We still have open spots for Thursday and Friday, join us! AGU (American Geophysical Union) Hydrology Section AGU

🔗Linking below and above-ground tree biomass 🌳 To better understand the relationship between below and above-ground traits, Kossi Ditsouga et al. use allometric models on a dataset of 18 tree species from the Congo Basin. Read more here 👇 doi.org/10.1093/forest…

What an incredible night for Sasha Reed of USGS at #AGU24!🌟 Sasha received the Joanne Simpson Medal and the AGU Union Fellowship! A true trailblazer, Sasha tackles pressing challenges like drought, rising temps, and energy options. Congrats, Sasha! 🙌 AGU (American Geophysical Union)

Excited to share our new #Nature article published yesterday. It showed that rainfall variability is almost as important as total annual rainfall amount in determining global vegetation dynamics. Led by Andrew Feldman, with Konings, Pierre Gentine, WK Smith 🌎, Poulter, and 4 others

We figured out how much water is in all of Earth’s plants and how long it takes water to flow through them. Answer: 786 km3 and 5-18 days. Nature Water Koen Hufkens (@[email protected]) Adam Purdy

Happy to share a new Science Magazine perspective, "The growing threat of multiyear droughts," by David Hoover and myself. UA School of Natural Resources and the Environment UArizona Ag, Life & Environmental Sciences University of Arizona Research science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Severe droughts are becoming hotter, longer, and increasingly devastating to ecosystems as climate change accelerates, according to a new Science study, which reports that temperate grasslands, including in parts of the U.S., are facing the worst effects. 📄:

Happy to share our new New Phytologist #tansleyreview, "Proximal remote sensing: an essential tool for bridging the gap between high-resolution ecosystem monitoring and global ecology," led by the amazing Dr. Pierrat 🌲☀️🌳🔭🌈 w/ a broad team from the #SpecNet community! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

#TansleyReview Proximal remote sensing links site-level ecosystem monitoring to global ecology Pierrat et al. 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Happy to share a new paper, "Effects of Hot Versus Dry Vapor Pressure Deficit on Ecosystem Carbon and Water Fluxes," led by the amazing Miriam Johnston w/ Park Williams Dr. Mallory Barnes Yakir Preisler and others agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… UA School of Natural Resources and the Environment UArizona Ag, Life & Environmental Sciences

Different combinations of temperature & humidity can cause the same VPD — does it happen in nature? YES, often! Do “hot” and “dry” VPD of the same magnitude affect ecosystem-scale fluxes of C and H2O differently? Sometimes. I’m proud of this one; thanks to wonderful collabs!

Happy to share a new review in #LandscapeEcology, "Applications of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS) in landscape ecology ...," expertly led by Miguel Villarreal and w/ an amazing team UArizona Ag, Life & Environmental Sciences UA School of Natural Resources and the Environment link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Interested in remote sensing of ecohydrology and publishing your work on leading remote sensing journals? Please see the newly launched special issue in RSE. We are looking forward to your nice submissions soon: sciencedirect.com/special-issue/… Benjamin Dechant RyuLab@SNU WK Smith 🌎

I've covered agriculture, on and off, for 30 years. This involves talking to lots of farmers. You know what I've never heard? Not once? Farmers complain about USDA's Agricultural Research Service and its outreach programs--the ones Musk just randomly cut. breakthroughjournal.org/p/can-america-…
