I study the effects of vegetation on climate & vice versa @UWMadison and @badgrs_lab. @amy_trowbridge fan. #GirlDad. #BLM. he/him
Funding for hydrological science is critical for developing strategies for efficient water use. W/MT Wheat & Barley Committee, @NSF, @NOAA, @montanastate & @UWMadison support, Ojaswee Shrestha & others calculate crop coefficients for MT wheat & barley sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The National Climate Assessment's authors and support staff were dismissed this week. AMS and @theAGU are stepping up to continue the momentum of vital U.S. climate research and analysis with a new open-access publishing effort. Read more here: bit.ly/4m3zRi8
to keep science moving forward despite it all: *preprint* a knowledge-guided machine learning approach to estimate intercepted evaporation, surface evaporation, and transpiration by Sadegh Ranjbar essopenarchive.org/doi/full/10.22…
The US government is aiming to get rid of a quarter million people involved in science research and education by 2026. I have no words.
Announcement of the 3rd GEO Workshop from Aug 1 to 2 in Singapore ! Over this 1.5-day workshop, we’ll focus on discussions around the processing, production, validation, and application of various GEO satellites. Registration by July 12 via forms.gle/9nStvJWm3BP9ji…
CO2 in the atmospheric boundary layer varies throughout the day. A mini global change experiment. This won't dominate photosynthesis, but might not be trivial. Tang & others find it contributes about 10% to the diurnal pattern of canopy CO2 uptake: doi.org/10.1111/pce.15…
NEON Convergence Summit October 15-17, 2025 in Boulder, CO. Call for Applications Now Open! Attendance will be limited, so be sure to apply by May 31, 2025. Participant travel support will be provided by NEON. neonscience.org/get-involved/e…
Emeritus Professor Grace Wahba recently received the International Prize in Statistics in recognition of her groundbreaking work on smoothing splines, which transformed data analysis and machine learning. Wahba joined @UWMadisonSTATS in 1967 as its first female faculty member.
Exciting news in the global statistics community! Grace Wahba was awarded the prestigious 2025 International Prize in Statistics for her groundbreaking work on smoothing splines, which revolutionized data analysis and machine learning. https://www. statprize.org/index.cfm
#AAPIMonth Spotlight: Ankur Desai is Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor and Department Chair in the @UW_AOS. Ankur is also an AMS Certified Consulting Meteorologist. He’s a former AMS STAC Commissioner and currently serves on the Atmospheric Research Awards committee.
📣 Following the dismissal of authors to the sixth National Climate Assessment, AGU & @ametsoc are proud to launch a first-of-its-kind special collection on U.S. climate science. We invite manuscripts to ensure this critical work continues. 🔗 lite.spr.ly/6001HyUU #NCA
“If you look at a long period of time, a lot of our increase in living standards seems to be coming from public investment in scientific research,” said Andrew Fieldhouse... an author of the Dallas Fed study. “The rates of return are just really high.” nytimes.com/2025/04/30/bus…
More fantastic results from Sadegh Ranjbar demonstrating the unique value of @NOAASatellites for understanding the earth system. All sky (clear & cloudy, night & day) estimates of land surface temperature using ML, GOES-R & Ameriflux meas. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Federal funding cuts threaten life-saving severe weather forecasting at UW-Madison: channel3000.com/news/federal-f… @UWCIMSS @UW_AOS @UWFedRelations
The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/@nwas: bit.ly/4cz2RtC
Amer. Meteorological Soc. (@ametsoc) just issued a (fully justified) dire statement regarding rapidly accelerating & potentially disastrous efforts to decimate weather & climate enterprise in U.S. If implemented, this would cost many lives & cause major/ long-term economic harm.
4 of the 6 RCC's (Southeast, Midwest, High Plains, Western) are currently down. It is unclear when (if) they return. Thanks, I hate it.
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and…
“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond3…
Global land CO2 uptake cancelled during the last El Niño with a record high CO2 growth rate of 3.66 ppm from July 23 to July 2024 arxiv.org/abs/2504.09189
cannot overstate how amazing @NOAASatellites are. In our new paper in RSE, Danielle Losos & team demonstrate an approach to use GOES-R, ML, and @AmeriFlux and @NEONInc eddy covariance data to estimate ecosystem carbon dioxide uptake in near-real time sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
