Hawaiian Knowledge And Western Science: A Recipe For Reef Recovery?: Kahaluʻu Bay on the Big Island has become a focal point for blending science, tourist education and cultural know-how. So far, hopeful signs abound. https://t.co/awHschoMp1 #HInews

3 decades in the making. I thank our partners for getting the first High Fidelity Imaging Spectrometer to low Earth orbit today. GAO (formerly CAO) is now in long-term full-Earth orbit for thousands of conservation applications. @planet @carbonmapper @NASAJPL @ASU

Hope for rare species at risk of extinction: a map of "Conservation Imperatives" that must be protected by 2030. Read article by @greg_asner of @ASU and @ASU_GDCS, @CarlosPeres_ of @uniofeastanglia & @institutojurua, @ericwikramanay1 of @EFL_1981 et al: https://t.co/eE7YsqXwiy

3/4 You can do it best by sticking tight to the science, with the goal of "teaching the court". That is how I was coached. I hope other scientists will find the courage to inject the best science into the legal battles ramping up around the country as the climate crisis heats up.

2/4 which had some taxing moments, but to play such a role completely justified the stress of the means. I want to share this with my science colleagues who may feel worried about stepping out of the comfort of research.

1/4 I am truly awed by this group of young folks who had the courage and fortitude to stand up for their futures in Hawaiʻi. With trepidation, I put myself out on the climate expert "witness stand", https://t.co/JDhkucus16

Brazil braces for worst coral bleaching ever "We're seeing the extinction in front of our eyes of such a beautiful and wondrous ecosystem." Read on for why Brazil corals matter. 🧵 https://t.co/avv1dDQ3s0

We @AllenCoralAtlas are monitoring coral bleaching from space. The maps here show, in green outlines, where we detect bleaching. These maps are changing fast with each update. Log in and zoom in these green outlines to see the details at 10 m resolution.

3/4 This program is only going to be as successful as the community makes it, so please sign up for our newsletter on the website, and please get involved via our forthcoming education programs.

2/4 In deep collaboration with the Hawaiʻi Division of Aquatic Resources, multiple universities, nonprofits, and numerous communities along the 120 mile coastline of West Hawaiʻi, the ʻĀkoʻakoʻa footprint will work to improve the outlook for coral reefs in the years to come.

1/4 Aloha, this week we launched a partnership website supporting the new ʻĀkoʻakoʻa Reef Restoration Program for coral reef restoration along the west coast of Hawaiʻi Island.

5/5 And I know it is completely factual because I was fortunate enough to be there. I love you, brother. Your journey and courage strengthen us all.

4/5 Even while confronting waves of jarring news, they reach rare heights of understanding in life, and sadly, in death. Alan is a gifted writer, and his willingness to share this story will help many of you, as it did me.

3/5 Along the way, the book also reveals that a pair of loving scientists - you know, those cold objective types of people who no one relates to - are a guiding light of kindness in the happiest or harshest of times.

2/5 The story takes you on an funny, hard, joyous, shocking, reflective journey of a man and his family who endured unimaginable challenges. Challenges that you might say are so unlikely, the story might not be factual.

1/5 Thanksgiving always helps me to pause to think about and be with my family, friends, & community. This year, however, it took on an even deeper meaning, when I read in one night an advance copy of a book by @alan_townsend "This Ordinary Stardust"

Honored and excited to work with you! Welcome to our growing amazing team in Hawaii! @ASU_GDCS @asnerlab @ASUGlobalFuture
