Seeing Blatten buried again and again, from every angle...
Properly staggering! 😮😱
SPEECHLESS BEFORE / AFTER #BLATTEN
The magnitude of destruction after the 3:24 pm collapse of Birch Glacier is immense! 😱
All the forest has been razed and the ice/wood/debris dammed the Lonza river 🌊
Some buildings of Blatten are buried 🏠

AGU has joined a lawsuit challenging the firing of probationary employees at federal agencies.
These actions weaken science, harm public health & the environment, and threaten national security. 🧵 #StandWithScience
Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025!
Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide!

White House budget proposal could shatter the National Science Foundation - 'The cuts could be as deep as 66 percent, with one person indicating the top-line budget number for the National Science Foundation could start at $3 billion.' vs. $9 billion currently arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Rest in Peace Professor Andy Cohen @uarizona.bsky.social. I first met Andy as a PhD student working on Lake Tanganyika. He loved lakes and lake drilling projects, and was an incredible educator. His signature look was colorful collared shirts that he used to buy in Africa. We will miss him a lot 💔

Beyond the unreal recent soundbites, current debates about CA's water reveal the importance of geoscience edu & scientific expertise (hydrology, seasonal precipitation, watershed dynamics).
Understanding Earth's systems isn't optional for leadership; it's essential!

Bumping this up for the new year. Students do not need any prior experience with geodesy - just interest and willingness to learn and explore. In addition to a stipend, interns will receive round-trip travel to East Lansing, housing, and a meal plan.

Y'all probably know that our personal CO₂ footprint is not the biggest lever we have to reduce emissions. However a quite powerful and often overlooked individual action can be changing our bank. Check out this tool to see how your bank stacks up & find alternatives.

I often show my students this visualization of how atmospheric CO₂ travels around the globe. Our attitude toward burning fossil fuels would change significantly if we could actually see CO₂.

🧪⚒️ Eruption of Bledug Kesongo, a large mud volcano in Central Java, Indonesia 3rd December 2024
This mud volcano last erupted in April 2023, tragically killing one person due to H2S poisoning.
It has had numerous such eruptions in the last few years.
