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! :)

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.

My EGU25 highlights: Inspiring inland water greenhouse gas emission science The notion that inland waters are passive participants in biogeochemical cycling, with lakes as recipients and rivers as pipes, has long been overturned. More and more research suggests the global imp...

New blog posts! Teresa Silverthorn @tksilver.bsky.social shares her personal #EGU25 highlights and newest developments in inland water GHG emissions. 💧🐟🌾

Let us know some of your personal highlights of this year's #EGU25!

Beautiful!

Point cloud of colors we call brown, with redness on x axis and greenness on y axis. Data for normal vision remains close to diagonal, data for colorblind people is more broadly scattered

Late to this week's #TidyTuesday, took me a while to wrap my head around this datasets. I learned how to add #markdown rendering to #ggplot while taking a closer look at all the colors we call brown 🪺🐿️🍂🍁

Used this week's #TidyTuesday dataset to have a go at polar coordinates in ggplot! 🌐🦠

Seems fair to me, they really should work on reimbursing people faster! Got reimbursed last week for travel I took in July of 2024 🙃 And there where times during my PhD when my university owed me four-digits amounts in reimbursement which is a lot of money to not have a a grad student.

Congrats, @sampottinger.com 🙌 🌽

Congrats @kratzert.bsky.social :)

A personal highlight for me was this supplementary figure showing the historical evolution of available meteorological stations across the Mediterranean Basin, would love to read a historian's perspective on this.

High temporal variability not trend dominates Mediterranean precipitation - Nature Our assessment of a 27-country weather station dataset in the Mediterranean region revealed long-term stability in precipitation over 150 years, along with substantial short-term variability on annual...

Reading up on one of my #EGU25 highlights, presented this morning by @sergio-vicente.bsky.social
Not only a fascinating piece of climate science, but also a great international, collaborative effort.

A great tool to explore EGU abstracts! I definitely found some relevant ones I hadn't been aware of. #EGU25

Sadly no in-person #EGU25 for me this year for obvious reasons. But, if you are interested in fire recovery, remote sensing or the Eastern Mediterranean, come to BG vPoster spot A on Wed, Apr. 30, 14:00-15:45 to chat or have a look at the poster here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Congrats Susanne, happy to see this finally published :)

A big thanks to EGU for being so flexible about changing to a virtual poster and to my lovely co-authors, among them @mayazomer.bsky.social @cboettig.bsky.social @anabastos.bsky.social
