Spot fires occur when flying sparks or embers ignite outside the perimeter of the main fire.🔥 A recent study in JGR: Atmospheres reveals that extreme long-range fire spotting occurred during California's Dixie Fire in August 2021, with fires igniting more than 16 kilometers

Big report from Brookings out today on the geography of AI in the US. Beyond Silicon Valley, there are regional AI hubs emerging in places like Princeton, Austin, and Chapel Hill. Universities play a powerful role, but so do local industries. Read here: https://t.co/jQuiX0EN29

On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply

Please be kind to campus security over the summer months. Without the students around they get a little bored and they need to make up for lost revenue by writing more tickets to the few faculty who do show up on campus.

To make this map I used a USGS DEM to displace a Blender mesh, QGIS to grab sat imagery, added the image as a material, fidgeted with the sun lighting, and composited the final in photoshop. Thanks to @sidahuj ’s BlenderMCP, having Claude available to drive Blender is just👌

Today we've hit 99% of our April 1 average snowpack statewide and 100% of average for this date. That last storm really helped out! Three years at or above average is exceedingly rare in California with the last occurrence being in the late 1990s. Time to celebrate! #CAwater
