Congratulations @julieedtree.bsky.social on this cutting-edge research, out today #AGUpubs!

High-resolution tree-ring data are dramatically improving our ability to estimate past climate. We’re now much closer to accurately tracking temperature changesβ€”both today and across history!

That's a wrap on my first field season as a graduate student! Extremely proud of this all star crew for navigating tough shrubs + tricky terrain all summer, and already looking forward to next season. Grateful for all the support and field help this summer!

A Causal Inference Framework for Climate Change Attribution in Ecology Accurately attributing ecological shifts to climate change remains a significant challenge. Here, we present an accessible causal inference framework designed for climate change attribution in observ...

Really excited to share our new paper on #causalinference & #climatechange attribution out in #EcologyLetters today!

Are you asking "how much" or "if" climate change has impacted your system, then this paper is for you!
