Excellent work led by @ttkeller.bsky.social and important for stewarding forests w/ high-severity #fire regimes @esajournals.bsky.social @uwmadscience.bsky.social

Beautiful!

Development of km of train tracks per area in different world regions. Mostly stagnant.

Train tracks around the world 🚂🛤️🛤️🛤️ I was really interested in this slice of this weeks' #TidyTuesday data, unfortunately there is not much happening 🥲

Nice!

I love this!

A survey listing Greece, Sweden and the UK as example countries for Western Europe and Poland, Russia, and Hungary as examples for Eastern Europe.

I continue to find this Elsevier equity survey puzzling - by which logic is Greece in Western Europe?

Microbial Adventures in the Mont Blanc Massif As we passed the town of Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains on the French highway, en route to a sampling campaign, Mont Blanc’s glaciated terrain suddenly emerged above the spring foliage. Breaking the silent…

Super honored to have my #TidyTuesday viz featured in last week’s The Crunch newsletter from The Guardian Australia! 🙌 @australia.theguardian.com

Gridded data of number of observed frogs, forming an image of the coastline of australia

It's #TidyTuesday again! This week, we looked at #frog abundance in #australia - not a lot of frogs found in the desert 🐸🏜️

Maya holding resprouted plants while conducting fieldwork in Spain

👏DSE postdoc @mayazomer.bsky.social published new research in the @jxbotany.bsky.social! It explores how #MediterraneanShrubs resprout to recover after #disturbance and their resilience to global change: bit.ly/4mAwH5p

I‘m still trying to evaluate if I believe the science of Dune makes sense. This copy has an Appendix on the Ecology of Dune, that I don’t think I’ve read before so that’s going to be interesting. 😌

It’s a bit crazy, but also somehow moving #dune

Two books: Dune by Frank Herbert and Plant Ecology in the Middle East by Hegazy&lovett-doust

Holiday readings

Thank youu 🙏🧡

thank youu!

Lineplot, looking like a mountain range, where peaks indicate the number of munros counted in that year

This weeks' #TidyTuesday looked at the number of #munros (type of 🏔️) in Scotland over time. I utilized my PhD here, using an alpha-stable distribution to add texture to the mountain outline: The heavy tails create a more 'rugged' profile than the Gaussian noise I used for the snow- and tree line. ❄️🌲

Some scans from the #Mojave capturing typical scenes of post-fire recovery: Burnt juvenile #JoshuaTree that is resprouting from the base. Burnt, toppled Joshua Trees and lots of grass within the burn scar. Unburned Joshua Tree woodland in the background. #canon #kodakgold #NationalParks

As a physicist I can easily calculate time dilation from relativistic motion (time slows when you're moving fast) or proximity to a massive object (time slows in gravity) but I have yet to find a solution for emotional time dilation (the task takes five minutes to complete but six weeks to start) 🫠

Happy to share that the first chapter of my PhD was published earlier this week in Biogeosciences! 🎉

Using a DGVM, we looked at joint and separate effects of changes in climate vs. disturbance regimes on boreal forests 🌲🌳🌲❄️

Haha 😀

Thanks! Yes, that was new information to me, too. I am still thinking how I could adjust the keys to make it less crowded in Lower Manhattan

Revised the NYC metro stations art map after some feedback. Learned that less is often more #TidyTuesday #NYC #dataviz #maps

Thank you! :)

Map of NYC metro stations where color indicates material of artwork

Had a look at what materials art works in in NYC metro stations are made for for today's #TidyTuesday 🚋🗽🏙️

Learned that the @nyu.edu Spatial Data Repository is a great resource for base maps.
