The work that discovered “dark oxygen” in the deep sea was funded by The Metals Company, which wants to be the first to be mine the deep. Now they’re trying to discredit that work. Heres how the journal and scientists responded. My latest w/ @HMNorthey: eenews.net/articles/scien…

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

can’t believe i’m living in a time where it takes an octogenarian POTUS tanking his debate onstage for America to question his fitness for office—and not, you know, the millions of dead, injured & displaced Palestinians who’ve been subjected to an actual genocide over the past yr

I am beyond honored and excited to have been chosen as a Margaret A. Davidson fellow! Super pumped to begin working with the folks at ACE NERR, meet my cohort colleagues, and investigate patterns in salt pans and dieback patches across the reserve! coast.noaa.gov/data/docs/nerr…

From livestream of arrests hardly an hour after the University of Georgia Gaza Solidarity Encampment went up: #UGA Chief of Police Jeff Clark seen here pulling a protester to the ground by the hoodie. Students were told they were criminally trespassing on their own campus.

any UGA or Athens community members, please send a message to President Morehead to voice your opinion on these arrests. rushing to suppress student voices like this is alarming, and not the campus culture I want to be a part of. solidarity with the protesters!

This is Rafah, the biggest refugee camp on earth. It houses 1.4 million Palestinians, including 600,000 children — many of whom were told to evacuate from the north. Israel carried out a massacre here last night, killing at least 63 civilians. There is no central hospital here.

2nd chapter: published! SLR inundation models often use tidal datums to predict future marsh extent which can drastically over or underestimate future marsh area as salinity, slope, and local factors mediate the elevation of conversion: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

We are in that part of the history book where they ask, "what were ordinary citizens and institutions doing when fascism was gathering strength and about to take over?" That's us. Now. The NYT. Big business. Universities. Local gov'ts. You. Me. We're in that part.
