aerial and satellite imagery from before and after a river restoration project in central Idaho, USA

new paper, led by @nkolarik.bsky.social: monitoring outcomes of ecological restoration is challenging. Satellite imagery could help, but interpretation requires statistics that can identify breakpoints in messy time-series data. We provide a practical guide: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper out, led by @villarreal-miguel.bsky.social. There's a disconnect between remote sensing advances and application to ecology (including only 11 UAS papers in Landscape Ecology!). We provide a guide for using drones to answer ecological ?s: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #uas #drones

“This multi-scale assessment of previously anomalous heat and drought events on succulent desert plants shows landscape-wide impacts that could fundamentally reshape populations of these keystone species and the communities that depend on them”

Up in your business, love it

El Paso Is Having Its Dustiest Year Since the Actual Dust Bowl Drought, wind, and climate change are turning the Borderplex into a morass of airborne grit.

"A morass of airborne grit," writes the Gizmodo guy, in "El Paso Is Having Its Dustiest Year Since the Actual Dust Bowl." That's about right. gizmodo.com/el-paso-is-h...

Voices: Research on dust in Utah has never been more important. Trump’s proposed cuts put our economy and public health at risk. “The loss of this science doesn’t just mean fewer data points,” writes Kristina Young. “It means fewer tools to protect water supplies, fewer insights to guide wildfire mitigation and fewer answers when local communities ask how to adapt to change.”

I like the noun project website.

#newpaper out in Ecological Indicators:

Guest commentary: The reckless firing of federal resource workers is a crisis for Idaho Idahoans cherish the great outdoors. Whether it’s visiting our national forests, fishing in pristine rivers, or depending on a thriving agricultural sector, our way of life is deeply intertwined with

Maybe next year I will host a Rangeland Wool Crafters social gathering

I know I say this every year, but *next* year at SRM I’m not going to overcommit to presentations

Very excited this paper is now out in Ecology Letters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... #causalsky

I would like to be added! Thanks!
