If you are going to ESA this year and interested in a phd, please say hi (I will also be at AGU). Research in the lab is broadly focused on the physiological ecology of long lived trees, like this nice bristlecone up on Mt Charleston~1hr from UNLV.

Effective climate action isn't just about pushing for change 24-7. I'm increasingly convinced that self-care is also essential. Spending time with the people we love, in the places we love, doing the things we love, is what fuels our capacity to love and fight for a better future for all. ❤️🌎

Spent some time scouting field sites in the Spring Mountains this weekend. Pinon, juniper, and joshua trees in the same stand. Basically magical.

For folks in the Reno area interested in Pinyon-Juniper, the BLM is holding a workshop on PJ ecology and management in early May. I, along with other researchers, will be presenting. You can register here: www.blm.gov/workshop-man...

Scholander et al., from their 1965 Science paper describing the method for measuring plant water potential, on why their proof was better carried out in mangroves than redwoods:

Text from Scholander on decision to measure mangroves, rather than redwoods, in order to understand plant water potentials.

Sucking CO₂ out of the atmosphere to make fuel is dumb.

Anyone ever tried to buy a used field vehicle?
