Excited to announce our @NatRevEarthEnv review synthesizing plant responses to fewer, larger rain events across field studies, models, and satellites. We focus on plant responses and mechanisms in the context of the contrasting behavior between dry and wet ecosystems.
🚨New Review @a_feldman24, @A_J_Felton, @alan_knapp, @carBenPoulter et al discuss plant responses to fewer but larger rain events TL;DR: productivity typically increases in dry ecosystems but decreases in wet ecosystems nature.com/articles/s4301…… (rdcu.be/dEeSK)
✨Editor's Pick✨ The ARID scoping study aims to design a plan for how @NASA instruments can be used to better understand #drylands. A new commentary discusses the ARID team's community engagement and how it has guided development of a new framework: doi.org/10.1029/2024EF…
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 @a_feldman24, with Konings, @PierreGentine, @Wkolby, Poulter, and 4 others
Thank you to the NASA news team for the feature of our Nature paper!
For Earth’s plants, how and when rain falls in a year is almost as important as how much falls. 🌧️🌱 Scientists at @nasagoddard, @nasajpl, @usda & others analyzed two decades of rainfall data and found that 42% of Earth’s vegetation is sensitive to daily rainfall variability.
Happy to share our new @Nature paper, "Large global-scale vegetation sensitivity to daily rainfall variability," led by the amazing @a_feldman24 w/ @PierreGentine @ecohydro_wang and others. @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES nature.com/articles/s4158…
How can we determine the hydrological regimes of rootzone soil moisture? What is their link with surface soil moisture regimes? We address these questions in our ERL paper led by Sandipan Paul in collaboration with @a_feldman24. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…
Happy to share a new @theAGU #GRL paper, "Enhanced Satellite Monitoring of Dryland Vegetation Water Potential Through Multi-Source Sensor Fusion," led by Jinyang Du w/ @KannenbergSteve @JessicaSGuo @a_feldman24 and others. @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Just a reminder to all #dryland scientists, managers, and enthusiasts - please comment on the @NASAEarth #ARID white paper by November 5th so we can make sure all your awesome dryland research ideas, needs, and perspectives are covered! YAY!! 🏜️ 🌵 ☀️ 👇 cce.nasa.gov/terrestrial_ec…
We have #postdoc and #PhD positions available, working on remote sensing 🛰️, ecosystems 🌳, nature-based climate solutions 🌍, and more! To apply, send me ([email protected]) a CV, cover letter, and transcript (PhD position only) Postdoc position details: careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us/j…
Fresh publication today from my PhD student Na Qiao (@NaQiao2) in GRL. Congratulations, Na!! We quantitatively evaluated the fog and rainfall contributions to vegetation dynamics. Comparative Impact of Fog and Rainfall on Vegetation in a Foggy Desert agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
Need to wish big congrats to my former college roommate, Nick, who worked hard for years (!!!) on the NASA Europa Clipper via APL. Congrats on a great launch to all involved @EuropaClipper . Many engineers work behind the scenes and don’t get the publicity that scientists do
This animation shows Hurricane #Milton before, during, and after it passed over Florida. Brightness temperature images like these can show the tops of storm clouds during the day and night, even when there is not enough visible light to capture natural-color images.
Neat new paper from Priyam Raghuraman et al. that argues a strong El Nino following a persistent La Nina can explain the jump in global temperatures in 2023. acp.copernicus.org/articles/24/11…
