#TurtleThursday 🐢 🌖 ☀️ Along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay! Found another nest 🥚 Gathered data & deployed more loggers to better understand nesting conditions and the terrapin hatchings’ response to #climatechange 🌎 Prof. Katharine Hayhoe Dr. Dawn Wright + @deepseadawn.bsky.social 🇺🇦 Dr. Jonathan Foley Project Drawdown

#MarvelousMonday ☀️ 🎨 Here’s to a wonderful week! Beautiful colors amidst the parting storms along the Chesapeake Bay this morning! Chesapeake Conservancy Chesapeake Bay Program Chesapeake Bay Foundation Chesapeake Bay Trust NPS Chesapeake Gateways Maryland DNR MD Environment

A year of record breaking global temperatures

Earth's avg temp topped 1.5C the last 12 months. Does that mean we've passed the Paris goal? NO. The avg must be above 1.5C for more than a decade for that to happen. Rather, this year provides a preview of what the average year will be like if we do 😬 cbc.ca/news/science/g…

🐢💚 More terrific Terrapins today! These mommas are helping us to understand how #climatechange is affecting the species and its spaces! Did you know that Terrapin hatchings will become male or female depending on the temperature during incubation; warmer = more females

What’s the big deal with agriculture and climate change? 🌳 🚜 Shouldn't we be focused on stopping oil and other fossil fuels? Turns out, agriculture is responsible for as many emissions as the energy sector. For more on solutions, check out the article: bit.ly/4cAuXnF

Project Drawdown has a portfolio of effective climate solutions – organized into 6 key pillars – in the food, ag, and land use space. Check out the latest Insights piece by @globalecoguy on how we can fix food's climate problem. bit.ly/3Yg8tEf #sustainableagriculture

The Climate Generation #SICCE24 is here! #ClimateChange #CCEducation #CCSolutions #CCcommunity I’m looking forward to connecting with fellow educators, researchers, and practitioners!

Good Morning ☀️ #SICCE2024 Day 2 #TeachClimate 🌎💚 studying how #climatechange is affecting the Diamondback Terrapin and its habitat along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay! #ScienceThroughStorytelling Great session in day one from NOAA Climate.gov and Project Drawdown

It’s Diamondback Terrapin hatchling season here along the Chesapeake Bay! Today, we had our first one emerge 💚🥚🐢👁️ This little one will help us learn more about how #climatechange is affecting the species!

New #openaccess paper! Our deep sea paper has been published in Marine Pollution Bulletin. 🪸 First environmental record of microparticle adsorption/ingestion by cold-water corals. 🌊Lower microparticle concentrations at greater depths. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.marp…

🌳 #DidYouKnow that forests offer more than just scenic views? They're also essential for our health and happiness! Here are surprising mental and physical benefits of immersing yourself in the lungs of our planet. via BES-Net (Biodiversity and Ecosystems Network)

#WonderfulWednesday Fieldwork brought some sunset views along the Patuxent River over the Solomon’s Island Bridge this week, instead of my usually sunrise views! ☀️ 🎨

Bringing a new Diamondback Terrapin into the world 💚🐢 This little one was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay just hours before this! Go Terps! ☺️Univ. of Maryland #TerrapinConservation #ClimateChange #FieldWork #LabWork PhD Voice - Independently Run The Nature Conservancy NOAA Climate.gov Chesapeake Conservancy

🦋🐛❤️ We finally have Monarch caterpillars at my milkweed! Super excited to see these little ones grow! I’m in Maryland for timing reference. I’ve only seen one monarch butterfly this season. How about you?
