While irrigation is valuable for climate change adaptation, irrigated ag leads to GHG hotspots through multiple pathways: pumping on-farm and for water projects, increased N2O, and groundwater degassing. We provide the first natl comprehensive assessment: rdcu.be/dPEX6
One week left to submit your AGU abstract! Study #ecosystems🌍 with #machinelearning 🤖, hybrid modeling, foundation models, causal inference & more—submit to our session B036: agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prel… #AGU25 #AI4Science #ClimateTech

Excited to anounce our new AGU session B075 on🛰️🌱Remote Sensing of Terrestrial Ecosystems. If you use remote sensing to understand how ecosystems function, change, or can be managed better—this session is for you! Submit your abstract by July 30! 🔗 agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prel…

📢10 m Leaf Area Index maps any place in the world? We open Google Earth Engine #GEE scripts to support your science! Enjoy! @wanlian67113198 made this script based on his 2024 RSE paper Map generator: environment.snu.ac.kr/s2lai Paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @FLUXNET_Coop…
We have an open postdoc position in the Quantitative Ecosystem Dynamics lab at UC Berkeley: forms.gle/Nx1EHYiCv3yRw7… in the areas of ecohydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, and global change ecology. keenangroup.info Please spread the word!
We are looking for two 3yr postdocs to join us @NUSgeog! One will work on tropical vegetation monitoring using phenocam, sap flow and eddy covariance (careers.nus.edu.sg/job-invite/269…). One will broadly work on modelling vegetation dynamics under climate change (careers.nus.edu.sg/job-invite/269…).
