What does it look like to fly across East Antarctica? Check out my time lapse flight from Zucchelli station toward Dumont d’Urville! Starts with crossing the coastal Transantarctic Range and stops a ways onto the E Antarctic ice sheet’s plateau.

DRYPEAT is highly interdisciplinary and draws upon the fields of botany, ecology, paleoclimatology, hydrology, and geochemistry. Candidates with a strong interest in the project and with a solid background in one of its components are encouraged to apply through the link above.

Irish blanket bogs are critical reservoirs of carbon and biodiversity that are threatened by a warming, drying climate. In DRYPEAT, this postdoc will help develop a new proxy for bog evapotranspiration through isotopic monitoring of a blanket bog's water and plants.

**Open postdoctoral research position in Irish blanket bog isotopes**. I'm recruiting a postdoc researcher for a 2 year position @TCD_NatSci & @TCD_Geography to develop isotopic bog drought proxies through our SFI-funded project DRYPEAT. Full details at:.

Living near the cliffs surrounding Grenoble made for gorgeous landscapes, but slope failure always was in the back of my mind! This landslide was on the opposite side of the Vercors from the Grésivaudan, but the threat exists for all the steep slopes in Isère.

Attempting to figure out a (relatively) simple equation where you can plug in a continental US site's climate and geographical norms and obtain daily estimates of its precipitation isotope norms. First test at 73 sites isn't too bad! Red is actual isotope norms, black is model.

Having the terms interact brings up the r2 to 0.59, but its even more complicated then and uglier. I feel like I'm missing something more fundamental that all these variables are dancing around.

I can get r2=0.48 through a multi-regression w/ latitude, air temp, rel. humidity, spec. humidity, & the annual range in v-wind component (!). But that's super ugly, and I can't pull out any of those without killing the relationship substantially.

Does this spatial pattern make sense to anyone from a climate viewpoint? It's an interpolation of a precipitation isotope coefficient, and so far I can't pin down what it's reflecting in reality.

Update: it got hotter in Vegas.

Looks like Las Vegas, NV, has broken its all time high temp record (prev: 117 F). And still several brutal days still to come, including two more days forecast to match the new all time record high. #heatwave #lasvegas #nevada

Hours after the race, apparently no cleanup by race organizers, or at least very poorly done. My wife and I spent an hour picking plastic race garbage off the path to keep it from entering Dublin Bay. Organizers must do better. #Clontarfhalfmarathon2024

Incredibly strong early season hurricane. Particularly noteworthy as open Atlantic hurricanes rarely get this strong at this time of year due to relatively cool waters and dry air. Record warm sea surface temperatures have negated that norm, however.

The temptation to respond to a reviewer's request for an lengthy addition with "This analysis is left as an exercise for the reader". 😂.

Stunning #aurora seen from north Dublin this evening. Never thought I’d see the colors so clear here in Ireland.
