I do like it here on Mastodon, but the huge influx of people from Twitter means there are far fewer image descriptions than from even a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to tell every one of them about this, but quite frankly there are so many I don’t have the patience. I’d dearly love it if apps could block posts unless an image description was added to every photo, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for. I’m feeling really excluded from so many conversations. It’s getting as bad as Twitter.

#Indigenousknowledge offers invaluable insights for how to approach #climatechange. This article describes a tool called the Tribal Adaptation Menu that provides a set of concrete, practical strategies, approaches and tactics for how to incorporate indigenous thinking into planning, policy, etc. 👇

The title of this thread is called "Angry Black Women".

On January 20, 2017 this picture was my Facebook avatar. It is Michelle Obama at the inauguration of the 45th president. About a month later, a white female person I know texted me "Can you change your avatar photo, now." Which I did. The following is a selection of the Angry Black Women avatars I used since. These Angry Black Women changed out lives for the better.

Hi Mastodon 👋 Jumping on the #introduction train so here is a little about me:

🏛️ PhD candidate in my 2nd year at The University of Sydney

📚 researching how to use #socialmedia for #healthcommunication to #youngpeople specifically during #publicheath #emergencies like #COVID19

🧐 fascinated by all things #science #scicomm #media #popculture

Keen to connect with other #academics doing #digitalhealth #research 📱🤝

Timelines need more #trees and #woodland, so here's a cracking tree from North Wales.

We are working at depth in the bottom of Cathedral Cave (Wellington Caves). The walls need to be shored up as dig deeper to protect against collapse. This photo is the excavation pit at around 3m deep - we are at 5m now and counting. #palaeontology #palaeoecology #caves #WellingtonCaves

We biology geeks may sound elitist when we use scientific names instead of common names, but we're really just trying to avoid this:

Are those of you here in the #Fediverse aware of the amazing resource that is https://mynoise.net?

No?
Let me introduce you.

It has a medieval village #background #noise environment with toggles you can use to increase or decrease the blacksmith shop and market and horse clops (among many others).

Oh, you want a coffee shop? Sure thing.
Rain? Thunderstorm? Gotcha.
Generic white noise?
RPG thrills? Of course.
Tame that #tinnitus? Yes!

Check it out!

#introduction Hello everyone!

I am a water resources engineer and Doctoral researcher at the University of Central Florida. I’m working on multi-hazards risks assessment and analyzing compound weather & climate extreme events as well as their spatial & temporal relationships and socioeconomic impacts using machine leaning & statistical methods.

I’m new here and would be happy to discuss about compound extremes, multi-hazards, impacts of weather/clim extremes and building community resilience.

If you’re residents/nationals of #Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of the #Congo, #India, #Indonesia, #Philippines, and #SouthAfrica, apply for Disaster & Climate Risk Data Fellows.

It is a 6-month fellowship to work on the new Risk Data Library Standard. It’s organized by #GFDRR facility of the World Bank. They are looking for #data #scientists, #geospatial #analysts, and similar from selected #climate-vulnerable countries.

This is Inge Lehmann (1888-1993) when she was 13. Born in Copenhagen in an intellectual family, she attended a radical co-ed school. It didn't mean she faced no headwind.

Her parents said she was too weak for the effort when a math teacher wanted to challenge the gifted student. Inge said "I could have been stronger if I hadn't been so bored at school."

To honor & continue the legacy of Tom Meixner we are fundraising via #AGU #Hydrology to support #ECR scientists from historically excluded communities. New #biogeofeminist stickers made with Tom's lab motto "Making the world better through biogeochemistry" will help kick off fundraising efforts

If you work with #naturalhazards and like blending #physics based #simulation with novel #machinelearning & #deeplearning methods, Dr Filippo Gatti & I welcome you to join our interdisciplinary session titles "Hybrid modeling of natural hazards: blending deep-learning and physics-based simulations" at #EGU #EGU23 @EuroGeosciences #research #geoscience

Hello! Excited to be here, though still figuring it all out. I'm a #geologist who uses #geochronology, #geochemistry and #fieldwork. I'm currently trying to answer questions like when and why does it rain in the Sahara, and where is the Archaean basement terrane boundary north of the Scottish mainland? I run the #LAICPMS lab in the University of Hull, am a Deputy Editor in Chief for the #journalofthegeologicalsociety and am a mum of 3. Life is not boring 😵‍💫😴

I have a student working on a class project on CA's Central Valley. We are absolutely stumped trying to find any specific paleoclimate data (like 10000-100000 years) for the valley. The answer might be that it doesn't exist, but if anyone has any ideas, let me know. #paleoclimate

One of the challenges of making good #maps is choosing colours that work well for those with colour deficiency. To help I use a simulator on my phone.

I tried it out at the grocery store and was surprised by how everything looked yellow.

These photos are for severe red green blindness (#protanopia).

Really useful resource!

My mind is blown by this global geological map resource https://macrostrat.org/map/#x=16&y=23&z=2 Just zoom into somewhere you know and look at the detail…

I went hiking in the Ozarks on Saturday morning and stumbled on a small patch of frost flowers!

This is the first time I've seen them, and I was surprised to see them this late in the year. Frost flowers typically form during the first few hard freezes of fall when sap in certain small plants freezes, rupturing the stem and forcing water out. The water freezes on contact with the air and builds up into distinctive flower-shaped petals!

I am a Tlingit Indian artist and poet from Sitka, Alaska. Trying to get the hang of Mastodon. A sample of my artwork below.
This piece is “Behind the Mask: The Infinite Self” at Stonington Gallery in Seattle. Acrylic on birch, abalone and mother-of-pearl inlay, and gold leaf.
