I live on the shores of #LakeSuperior on the #Keweenaw Peninsula in the #UpperPeninsula of #Michigan. This region is within Ojibwe Gichigami (“Ojibwa’s Great Sea”) homelands and ceded-territory, established by the TREATY OF 1842
I'm a professor of #environmental #chemistry with an interest in everything related to #climate, including molecular to global aspects of the carbon cycle, energy and social transitions, new and old technologies for sustainability, forests and biodiversity, local to international climate policy, and the systems thinking approaches we need to make progress.
Too much of a news and politics junkie than is healthy.
I share my homestead with a partner, a dog, several felines, two donkeys, plants, and occasional uninvited critters.

We (researchers at University of Colorado Boulder, including @bkeegan ) are conducting a research study about social media platform migration. Right now we are looking for help *piloting* a survey about experiences with joining Mastodon and/or leaving (or choosing not to leave) Twitter.
If you would be willing to help with a pilot by filling out a most open-answer questionnaire, let me know and I will DM more details!

Thanks to the Met Office archives, these sheets were scanned & made openly available, but how could the observations be extracted?
The answer? Ask for help: https://bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-52040822
16,000 volunteers stepped forward during the first UK COVID lockdown to transcribe every observation.

Funding from all the Multilateral Banks is essential for the global clean energy transition. These institutions were built for the post WWII world; they need to be repurposed for the 21st century.
The World Bank needs to be led by a Climate champion!
Countries are struggling to adapt to climate-driven crises caused by all of us who have benefited from 2 centuries of fossil fuel burning.

I have set up a fundraiser for Earthquake relief so Michigan Tech students far from home can channel their efforts to send help.

Thanks to worthy volunteer @kenrice we've updated our Escalator Earth temperature graph to include Berkeley Earth thru 2022.
The Escalator was created by dedicated volunteer Dana Nuccitelli, dates back to 2011 and is the earliest model of a communication mode we're now terming AIV, "Autonomous Information Vehicles," presentations that operate on their own to engage people, can easily be shared, slip across social boundaries.

“plagues don’t tend to end until their human hosts re-engineer the environment that allows them to thrive. From Forsberg’s perspective the only way to close the door on this #pandemic is to provide “#cleanair the way #engineered systems supply clean water.”
“Corsi, now dean of engineering at UC Davis, believes that vaccines and anti-virals are really important. “But this pandemic is not going anywhere until we get serious about lowering the inhalation dose, folks,” https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/01/11/Revolution-Clean-Indoor-Air/
