A jam-packed couple days of fieldwork @SEVLTER and what a beauty it’s been. If you ever find yourself looking for a camping spot in central New Mexico, San Lorenzo Canyon is top notch! Time for a post-predawn Fv/Fm collection nap.

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

Big congrats @_charliedevine_ !!

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!

Happy to share a new @ESA_org #EcoApp paper, "Ecosystem service indicators on military-managed drylands in the Western United States," led by Sam Jordan and w/ @osvaldosala @SERDP_ESTCP @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES

APPLY! Our lab is recruiting an undergrad for a paid summer internship through the UofU 2025 SPUR program! The student will be working with thermotolerance of plants found across Utah (and across lab projects). Check out the link below and share widely. our.utah.edu/research-oppor…

We are looking for a post-doc to work on a joint project focusing on large-scale land use/land cover change, funding via BU's Global Development Policy Center. Please share. Interested applicants can email me at my BU address. bu.edu/gdp/2021/10/...

We are looking for a research assistant to join the EDGE lab (edge-ecology.com) here in Gothenburg for the next 2 years. A great team and lots of exciting research to be a part of! 🌱🌍🌡️❄️ Please apply or share 🙏 #ecology

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of attending the 18th annual @gradclimateconf in wet but beautiful Washington. ☔️ It was a treat to meet and form friendships with other students studying the climate in some capacity as well as give a short talk on my research. #GCC2024

Reminder that we're recruiting!

Lots of precip. and cold temperatures in central New Mexico means snowpack in the Chihuahuan Desert! I’m jealous this @PhenoCam gets to witness it. 🌨️ @SEVLTER @USLTER @EcossNau

Trees can help each other survive droughts! A new study shows how European beech, Norway spruce, and Douglas fir respond to drought stress and highlights how tree species interactions can influence their ability to withstand drought🌳🌲 @Christina_Hac 👉doi.org/10.1093/treeph…

We were fortunate enough to have @ReneeFBrown join us @EcossNau in Flagstaff the past couple of days to give an inspiring talk in the @nausiccs Ecoinformatics Seminar Series on dryland nutrient cycling and her career path! Always nice to catch up with great colleagues. 🍂

The Center for Ecosystem Science & Society is looking for new PhD & MS students @NAU for Fall 2025 (and earlier)! Explore microbiomes to ecophysiology, drylands to the Arctic. Check out our research opportunities ecoss.nau.edu/prospective-st…

The Meng Lab is seeking post-doctoral scholars and Ph.D. student interested in global change ecology @VanderbiltU. Postdoc position is available now. Apply today: sites.google.com/view/linmeng/j… Come work with us! #PhDjobs #Postdocs #STEM #phenology #climatechange #urban

After years of effort, our paper detailing the ways CO2 sources & fates can change deep beneath the surface with land use change, even after~80 years of forest regrowth, is out! Radiocarbon & stable isotopes of C and O reveal the story. link.springer.com/10.1007/s10533…

Happy to share a new lab @PlantCellEnvir paper, "Direct and Legacy Effects of Varying Cool-Season Precipitation Totals on Ecosystem Carbon Flux in a Semi-Arid Mixed Grassland," led by Fangyue Zhang and w/ @ecology_awesome and others @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…

My group has two postdoc positions open and welcomes applications. Here is the first one and will post another one when it is ready: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28600

Curious about integrating @PhenoCam into your research? Don’t miss our FREE @AmeriFlux webinar! 🌳🌿📸 📅Part 1: Oct 11 | 10 AM - 11:30 AM PT (shorturl.at/fB28t) 📅Part 2: Oct 18 | 10 AM - 11:30 AM PT (shorturl.at/i4Qn4)

📢Our paper on the jet stream is out in @Nature🌍 700 years of jet stream variability shows links to Europe's climate extremes, wildfires, and epidemics. 👉Key insights for future risks! Great working with @ephispheric @GuobaoXgb234 @elliebroadman ! rdcu.be/dU5IW
