Lessons in biogeochemistry part 1.

Great position opening at @WakeForest in Ecophysiology!

https://t.co/r0WmdbDa69 I've been working with colleagues using Knoweldge Graphs recently and basically everyone needs to know what these things are and what they do. This paper creates a KG for every object in the Open StreetMap dataset. It's absolutely incredible.

https://t.co/hp3qWDORA8 New paper showing that C emissions from 2023 Canadian fires are = to annual emissions of most nations. I said it before and I'll say it again - there should be compensation for mechanisms that decrease fire likelihood e.g. conifer to deciduous conversion.

We have an opening for a post-doctoral researcher on our National Parks Service grant looking at avian bioacoustics. Position will be located at Cornell's Lab of Ornithology. Please spread the word if you have colleagues or students who may be interested!

A recent @dartmouth led study in @Nature maps the #mining boom across the global tropics. Research led by #rivers and waters scientist @evandethier, @DartGrad alum & @Occidental assistant prof. Co-authors include: @silmanmr, @LuisFernandez0 & @DaveLutz.

Signs that you are old #1: Students stare at you blankly when you drop a Paula Abdul reference in Chem lecture. I mean, come on - they won the Grammy for the video! Maybe I should have done the dance, too?

@dartmouth Amy Olson, the master herself, is at @adrapeau !

Amy Olson did a great job describing our recent findings about Peru's military-based conservation policy. I love working with Amy at @dartmouth's communication office. https://t.co/dtTZTXQm0r

Did it really take a Nature perspective article to tell academic researchers that studying things that people care about is important? And people wonder why public trust in academic institutions is at a significant low. https://t.co/jZoVeJ55d4

New article showing the global eradication of floodplains. Obviously these areas are useful for agriculture, but their conversion is often one-directional, with adverse consequences for biodiversity and water quality. https://t.co/K1czaBWNbH

Our team's new manuscript analyzing Operation Mercury is out today in Conservation Letters. Team includes @evandethier @LuisFernandez0 @silmanmr, part of a @LCLUCProgram project. Military intervention works, but you can't relax enforcement over time! https://t.co/eKc2NByTMN

Here's another example of how we can use computer vision/AI to interpret patterns and features in digital imagery. It's grounded in medicine but substitute a retinal scan with a satellite image of a rainforest and let your mind wander.

Very important article linking AI and ecology. This is just the tip of the iceberg, especially with what can be done with remotely sensed and camera trap data, but it is an important read. @Foggykak among the authors!

A bit of coverage of our global mining manuscript in Mongabay today. Great quotes from @evandethier and @LuisFernandez0 in there. The time series of Z scores was a gigantic undertaking by Evan but is a very powerful figure. https://t.co/VT8G9iLaeI

Nature research paper: A global rise in alluvial mining increases sediment load in tropical rivers

I don't want to forget contributions by Dartmouth alumni @JimenaDiazLeiva. I have had the pleasure to watch her grow from undergraduate student, to doctoral candidate, to now PhD and director!

Also contributing @LuisFernandez0 and support from both @WFUCEES, @CINCIAMDD, @EEES_Dartmouth

Pleased to share our new work mapping alluvial mining across the entire planet in today's issue of @Nature. The mining epidemic is global and threatens tropical biodiversity. Led by @evandethier and with @silmanmr @LuisFernandez0 via @LCLUCProgram. https://t.co/KfNLYVLhCo
