The loss of soil organic carbon results in: 🌱 less fertile soil and crops 🚫 food shortages 💸 increased food prices 🐾 less biodiversity 🌍 increased GHG emissions 💧 decreased water retention and filtration What causes it? 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿 Let's #SaveSoil & save our 🌏 #SoilHealth

I have finished the geemap book draft (370 pages). It will be published by Locate Press this summer. I am looking for some reviewers to provide feedback before publication. If you are a #geemap and #EarthEngine Python expert interested in reviewing, please let me know. Thank you.

🔥📈BREAKING NASA 📈🔥 The Earth Energy Imbalance from NASA satellite data broke through 1.8 W/m² (12-month mean)! This is faster than I expeced. More than many experts thought possible. I called this the most important graph in the world. A lot more heat is accumulating!

In 2018 I wrote a review paper in Nature on the impact of climate change on tropical forests (nature.com/articles/s4158…, subscription-free rdcu.be/3vsw) I said that tropical forests were once a carbon sink, reducing climate change, but would soon be a carbon source 1/5
