On January 6th, the insurrectionists had pepper spray and clubs. At NOAA, Elon Musk is trying to take over our government with hackers and coders. We won't stand for it.

Today I’m debuting a new #EnvHist podcast series, β€œThe Climate Chronicles.” In 8 seasons and 42 episodes, I’ll tell the remarkable story of how #ClimateChange influenced humanity’s past. Visit the website: theclimatechronicles.com (1/6)

Monarch butterflies will get federal protections as a threatened species U.S. officials decided to extend protections to monarch butterflies after warnings from environmentalists that populations are shrinking and the beloved pollinator may not survive climate change.


Monarch butterflies are more than just pollinators; as an β€œindicator species,” their population health can tell us a lot about the broader state of the environment.

I commend the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for taking an important first step in protecting this vital species.

Hello BlueSky friends! Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm looking forward to connecting. I am a historical ecologist in British Columbia interested in all things ocean, especially big fish. Please enjoy this photo of my son in front of some Tyee at the Campbell River Museum this summer.
