I can't stop thinking about how Trump would eliminate our free, public weather service, NOAA. It's an institution that goes back 53 years and protects Americans everyday with warnings for tornados, thunderstorms and more. That's the Project 2025 plan. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

The Spiny-backed Orbweaver is a spider I always wanted to see because, look at it! It's got a beautiful crown of red thorns along its abdomen. Found during a night hike with @apsciencebydan.bsky.social back in May.

Hi Bluesky anyone have thoughts on why the Near tool in ArcGIS is completely wrong? All data are in same projection (distances in meters) but it's literally skipping over the nearest point to the next one. And sometimes it is calculating near feature across the continent. HELP! 🧪🌍🦑🦉

Devastation as world’s biggest wetland burns: ‘those that cannot run don’t stand a chance’www.theguardian.com Blackened trees, dead animals and scorched earth – early wildfires have already devastated Brazil’s Pantanal and local people worry they may lose the battle to save them Perched atop blackened trees, howler monkeys survey the ashes around them. A flock of rheas treads, disoriented, in search of water. The skeletons of alligators lie lifeless and charred. The Pantanal, the world’s largest wetland and one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, is on fire. Huge stretches of land resemble the aftermath of a battle, with thick green shrubbery now a carpet of white ash, and chunks of debris falling from the sky. Continue reading...

Yesterday, I shared this same Canada Day thread on Bluesky, Threads, and X. Here's what I found. 🧵

“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear. In a nutshell, NO. We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb! #canadaday
