Last night I won gold and silver #EXCELs2022 awards for my @AGU_Eos magazine features. It's a bit wild that my stories won 2 of the 3 awards in this category?! Head still spinning about that. Can't thank my editors Caryl-Sue Micalizio and @heathermg enough!

yiiiiikes. "Methane leaks alone from Turkmenistan’s two main fossil fuel fields caused more global heating in 2022 than the entire carbon emissions of the UK, satellite data has revealed.".

Leaks of potent greenhouse gas could be easily fixed, say experts, and would rapidly reduce global heating

Explanatory science writing at its best. The way they connect Arctic sea ice with wildfires in the west is perfect. I was in Oregon during the 2020 fires, and I had no idea that the weather during that time could be influenced by Arctic sea ice loss.

The planet’s ice is fundamentally tethered to weather patterns that stretch across the globe. Scientists are finding that as the climate changes, that connection could be helping fuel disasters.

a cool thing I found during reporting my latest feature that's only tangentially related, but SO COOL. I love this take on data visualization.
