If you care about Earth science in the US, please sign up for the NSF GEO virtual office hour Sept 15 with GEO directorate head Joydip Kundu! NSF leadership needs to hear directly that people care and are concerned about GEO. Maxxing out their Zoom tier sends a message. www.nsf.gov/events/nsf-g...

One of Dubliners’ favourite artists is Walter Osborne (1859-1903] who trained in mainland Europe. Here’s one of his French pictures. I’d happily steal his work if no one is looking! This is Apple Gathering, Quimperlé (1883) [1]

Consider for a moment how much the 2020-2025 period differs from the 2000-2005 period. Consider how small the temperature difference was that unleashed this level of chaos we are experiencing. Now consider how chaotic 2030-2035 will be considering it will be the same number of degrees warmer…

Your daily reminder. Like a Soviet commissar, Russell Vought wants to take over ALL federal grant-making from Meals on Wheels to cancer research. We can stop him. But it means everyone taking action. Write to your members of Congress today. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

Layoff notices at JPL are going out today. About 11% of the Lab, or 550 people, are being let go. I'm thinking of my friends and colleagues there, some of whom will still be employed after today and some of whom won't. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.
