‘It happened one icy night….’ Hear about the #HubbardBrookNH Ice Storm Experiment, and what we can learn about forests and people from extreme event experiments! @HubbardBrookNH
In this video, Dr @LindseyRustad helps us understand what makes forests tick through her research and experiments on forest soil. Our videos recorded with @IfThenSheCan and @EBTSOYP, feature #WomenInScience and explore opportunities for youth in STEM. Watch the broadcast ⬇️

‘It’s the season to start looking out for the weather conditions that create ice storms! The young people in your life can learn more about these extreme winter weather events here!
Ice storms can do serious damage to forests! At @HubbardBrookNH Experimental Forest, scientists created ice storms to study their effects, and the results show short and long-term damage to trees. Read the article written by @LindseyRustad ⬇️ @EBTSOYP @IfThenSheCan

As we continue to face new challenges brought about by changing climates, it’s important that we fully understand what threatens our nation’s forests and grasslands. A recent report released today examines how mature and old growth forests are at risk.

Cool SciArt installation @JoshuaTreeNPS, turning data into a musical sonification. Be sure to listen in! https://t.co/AHaE8d4vRC

Scientists have long studied how near-infrared light bounces off forests and grasslands, as a proxy for plant health. Now, an artist is using the same trick to turn the Joshua tree into an instrument.

I am so excited that our article: "Ice Storms: Not as Cool as They Seem" was just published in @FrontYoungMinds @ifthenshecan Women in Science Special Collection. This journal is intended for young scholars (ages 8-15). Share wildly with friends & family!

Ice storms might sound fascinating, but for forests, they are not as cool as they seem! Ice storms happen when freezing rain coats trees, branches, and the forest floor in a shiny, frozen glaze....

I am saddened by this news. Diana touched so many of our lives, mine included. She has long been a role model for me, from afar and from the few times I had the honor to interact with her in person. She will be missed - but she has left a legacy!
From the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research site Facebook page: "We at the MCM are absolutely devastated to have to pass the news on that our close friend and colleague, Diana Wall @DianaWallSoil passed away on March 26." #Antarctica #Astrobiology #ecology #LTER

“Edgey” new experiment on the Edge Effect!
Andy Reinmann of @GC_CUNY is introducing Harvard Forest's newest @USLTER experiment, CLIFF: the Climate Interactions with Forest Fragmentation Experiment. Why? In the northeast US, 25% of our forests are within 100 ft of an edge #HFsymp24 Join us online! https://t.co/WkjnnHtrWc
