An adult lynx sits primly in a snowy driveway. All you can see is one tall bank on the right. The cat is very fluffy and has huge paws and adorable ear tufts.

Look who came up the driveway this afternoon!!!! You've never seen me grab my camera so fast. Unfortunately, I had to shoot through a dirty window in low light, so it's a bit fuzzy. Still! Lynx!! In my yard!!! Look at those big fluffy paws! 🦊🌿

So much Earth observation data is collected, processed, and analyzed—yet it still doesn’t reach the people who need it most.

The challenge? Turning data into actionable insights.

A disability should not be a death sentence during a natural disaster I have the privilege of studying wildfires—but I often don't have the privilege of escaping them when it matters most.

Feels like an appropriate time to share this story I wrote a few years back: www.ehn.org/natural-disa...

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

I didn't see this already, so I went through my follow list and made a Starter Pack for Women+ in geo & EO - very broadly.

I'm reminded how lopsided the gender divide is still in our field when I get 1 woman follower for every 10 men. It's particularly noticeable right now.
