A GOP push to restrict voting by overseas U.S. citizens continues before 2026 midterms Republican officials are pushing for more voting restrictions on U.S. citizens who were born abroad and have never lived in the country, after unsuccessfully challenging their ballots in 2024.

With the 2026 midterms approaching, Republican officials continue a push for more restrictions on overseas voters, including U.S. military members stationed abroad.

‘No country is safe’: deadly Nordic heatwave supercharged by climate crisis, scientists say Historically cool nations saw hospitals overheating and surge in drownings, wildfires and toxic algal blooms

I can attest to this since we were doing field work at this time. Sweaty from start to finish above the Arctic Circle... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Enacing cloud with Lapporten in background

Our last day of fieldwork for the #EnMAP project was eventful with lightning, hail, wind and a downpour. Luckily all viewed from Björkliden's restaurant terrace. Unfortunately the clouds moved in just in time for the satellite overpass.

It has been tough in the hot sun, but really, fieldwork is the best part of remote sensing! 😊

Another beautiful day of groundtruthing for our #EnMAP.#SNSA project ... without sweating from start to finish under a hot sun.

Fieldwork for Emil's hyperspectral PhD work was in Kärkevägge today. Not a bad work environment...

Oh my God it is so hot on this train! 28C in Murjek, and about 35C on board...

Emil and I are on our way north for 2 weeks of field work... with a little bit of equipment...

Another exciting day in the ReindeerFlux project!🦌 Frida and @colebrachmann.bsky.social measured CO₂ & CH₄, while Alex and Johan flew drones with radar, multispectral & NDVI sensors. Thanks @svtnyheter.bsky.social’s Susan & Henrik for visiting—loved sharing our work in beautiful Grövelsjön! 🌿

This describes our vacation so far...

#LPS25 power breakfast

Yesterday, besides the opening session of #LPS25, I found Sofia Walther et al's talk on estimating Arctic Boreal NEE interesting, with importance of local training and addition of meteo variables, with more results to come.

The 2025 edition of ESA's Living Planet Symposium in Vienna

🔴 LIVE now on #ESAWebTV: opening keynote at #LPS25 in Vienna!

🌍 Stay with us for the latest breakthroughs in Earth observation 👉 esawebtv.esa.int

The opening ceremony will include the unveiling of the first images from our forest mission, #Biomass 👇

I'm walking to #LPS25 this morning, glad for the shade of Sycamore trees in the city of Vienna. We need the trees more than ever.🌳

Any idea what alternate strategies they are considering or might consider? 🤔

More of this truth telling please (and thank you)

Fantastic introductory seminar by our new PhD student Emil Larsson! 🛰️ He’ll be exploring how hyperspectral satellite data can unlock new insights into Arctic biodiversity ❄️🌱. Excited to follow his journey — and to learn a lot along the way! 📚✨

Have fun!
