Do you want Utah to improve #AirQuality? EPA is reconsidering the PM2.5 standard & accepting public comments until Mar 28. It's a once-in-a-generation opportunity & they need to hear from Utahns who are most affected. Comment here👉 https://t.co/P8KAHV8rVq Context below 🧵

Made it to Chicago for #AGU22! Come visit my poster Wednesday morning: H32S-1156:Consequences of Boreal Peatland Disturbance on DOM Quantity and Quality at the Catchment Scale (sexier name on poster but you gotta come visit!)

A little challenge to all who benefited from the scholarship at Scotty Creek - if you've cited a Scotty paper and are sipping on a coffee right now, why not donate tomorrow's coffee funds to the rebuilding effort's Go Fund Me?

I'm really proud of this episode. Please listen and share widely! TLDR/L: We need to transition to a green economy and part of that transition involves mining. But mining on peatlands could have deleterious effects on the saved carbon emissions from EVs.

As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.

Unconscionable for #ABgov to greenlight peat extraction on the lands of Dene Tha' First Nation during the ongoing climate emergency, on intact permafrost peatlands and critical caribou habitat. #PeatTwitter More on the Bistcho Lake subregional plan: https://t.co/wIIEWVvBsc

Such an important op-ed by Aarushi Verma about the present and future of energy in Utah. I echo her non-rhetorical question: "How can Utahns achieve energy policy driven by facts rather than industry PR?" #utpol #utleg
