🧪 Meet the Fluxers Season 3 is now available for listening on Spotify! Transcripts & audio of the science podcast are also on our website (meetthefluxers.github.io) We chat about methane emissions from crab burrows, the net cooling effect of solar panels, REUs and more 🎙️🎧🦀 tinyurl.com/mtfseasonthree

Really excited that the baby of my PhD was finally published! doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...

We asked a seemingly simple question: Do dryland plants use water efficiently for carbon gain? Although the answer seems obvious, we actually found that it varies quite dramatically in time and space!🌐🧪

Atmospheric Feedbacks Reverse the Sensitivity of Modeled Photosynthesis to Stomatal Function Atmospheric feedbacks reverse the direction of photosynthesis sensitivity to stomatal function in the tropics and high latitudes Stomatal function with higher water cost per carbon gain leads to ...

New lab paper: How does photosynthesis respond to assumptions about stomatal functioning? We find that including atmospheric feedbacks reverses the direction of photosyn. response => stomatal cond. changes temp. & water stress. Led by Amy Liu, w/ many collaborators! doi.org/10.1029/2025...

“It turns out your brain, like love or money, can be given away.”

Trump officials shut off funding for climate adaptation centers A third of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Climate Adaptation Science Centers are expected to drastically wind down and possibly close after Sept. 30.

Despite broad political support, one third of the nation's Climate Adaptation Science Centers will wind down in coming days due to lack of funds.

The Northeast, South Central, and Pacific Islands will be left without actionable science on drought, floods, wildfire, sea level rise and other hazards.

🧪 Listen to season two of the FLUXNET science podcast to hear about carbon inset projects with promising results in an Australian mine ⚒️ 🪨 and an Arkansas rice field 🍚🌾, among other interesting stories from our guests! bit.ly/meetthefluxe... this podcast is meant for all curious minds! 🎧

Also in GCB: a meta-analysis of precipitation pulse-responses in C and water cycling (doi.org/10.1111/gcb....). *Huge* effort by @ecophysism.bsky.social. We characterized both the size of response to pulses, and also the shape (do we even see a hump?). Future C-water coupling shifts are possible 🌐🌍

Happy to finally see this published after many years of work! Many thanks to Jessica Guo, @peltierdrew.bsky.social, and other coauthors for being lovely mentors during this process. 🧪

Ever wonder how oil & gas companies locate leaks? How potato farmers determine irrigation schedules? What tools are used to monitor drought, or how turbulence mechanics can save vineyards? Listen to our new science podcast, Meet the Fluxers! open.spotify.com/show/5Czt3zA...

I truly think the world would be a much better place if everyone spent about 75% of their time making bad art

“Scientists need to recognize that bold presentation, dissemination, and support of scientific knowledge has become both a basic commitment and a political act.”
