Magnetotellurics (MT) measure the conductivity (or resistivity) of the Earth. Earth’s magnetic field induces electric currents in the Earth. The strength of this induced signal depends on the conductivity of the materials below the surface.

The "Utah Unây" program underscored how #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge and western scientific practices can lead to more complete understanding of ecosystems.

I don’t even know what to say. So many brilliant scientists at the EPA.

Last night, we closed #SHV30 in Salem—a place where many once gathered for comfort, connection, and strength during the eruption.

The SHV30 Street Part was a tribute to our shared journey.

Thank you, Salem, and thank you to all who came out.

Holy fricking A, those are still big cuts.

#SHV30 is bringing the world to #Montserrat!

Participants from 15+ countries — including Jamaica, Argentina, Italy, UK, USA, New Zealand & more — will gather to reflect, reconnect & look ahead.

🗓️ July 14–18, 2025

US senators poised to reject Trump’s proposed massive science cuts Committee gives first hint that policymakers might preserve, rather than slash, funding for US National Science Foundation and other agencies.

Could it POSSIBLY be that some US lawmakers are poised to reject huge cuts that have been proposed by the Trump administration to the National Science Foundation, NASA and other agencies ???

HUD secretary's hostile takeover of the NSF building have angered NSF employees

Call your Senators and House Reps to point out what an egregious example of waste, fraud, and abuse this would be. HUD Sec Turner is asking for extensive renovations including a private elevator, gym, and luxury dining room for himself and his cronies.

Exploring the solid Earth beneath the oceans holds transformative potential for #geophysics applications such as #tectonic research and deep Earth imaging.

Exclusive: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions Changes seen as a response to presidential directives on what research to fund

This is an absolute disaster. If we don't stop this, they will turn NSF into a pawn of the Trump administration. There will be no research on climate, biodiversity, or anything that isn't eugenics or AI or how to more efficiently destroy the planet for profit.

This cannot be allowed to happen.

Science friends, I’ll be honest: We have no idea yet what any of this will mean. But I can tell you that I work alongside some of the best humans around and that we are fighters. www.science.org/content/arti...

Censor, purge, defund: how Trump following the authoritarian playbook on science and universities I have mapped 35 of the Trump administration's attacks on science and universities to the authoritarian playbook - and consider what it means for attacks still to come

My latest post is now out.

I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.

This means we can guess what might come next and prepare - and we must!

It's extremely worrying to see universities facing choices that can lead to this. Graduate education leads to new knowledge and future leaders, and even a temporary pause in some PhD programs is a huge loss. Has anyone heard any updates on publicly-funded fellowships like NSF GRFP?

Scoop: U.S. delegation pulled from key U.N. climate science meeting The IPCC meeting in China is slated to determine the content in the group's next series of reports.

‼️The US-based @ipcc.bsky.social technical support unit (TSU) for Working Group 3 Co-Chairs has been terminated, and the US won’t be attending next week’s IPCC meeting where the AR7 chapter outlines will be approved.

A lot of our academic colleagues go to work at NSF for a couple of years as a rotator. In the programs that have funded me, rotators have been essential to keeping those divisions going. It's hard to see how these firings won't severely diminish NSF.
