New video on #water-related impacts of cover crops in California.
It summarizes cover-crop research by @JeffMitchellUC, Anna Gomes, @AlyssEtal, Daniele Zaccaria, @amelie_gaudin & @samuelsandoval on almond and tomato crops in the Central Valley
I just love this figure of Colorado River water usage from the @nytclimate today. I want a poster of it. Water law is animal law, at least in the West.
We are hiring a postdoc to work with Yufang Jin, Kyaw Tha Paw U and me on remote sensing of Evapotranspiration. Please apply by the deadline or help us by reTweeting! https://t.co/FEPXT4bnpH
Are meat substitutes really better for the climate than meat and dairy?
It was surprisingly hard to find a dataset that answered this question, so I started building one.
I show the results in my new Substack post.
Spoiler: yes, most are lower-carbon.

Low-key stressed about Twitter. I quit my job 6 months ago to be an artist focusing on climate communication
I've met all my amazing clients here. Just in case y'all leave, I'm looking to find a few recurring clients or larger projects
Retweets appreciated + DMs open ❤️
the results are in from >1,000 stem water potential readings taken this summer! vines surrounded by dormant cover crops (ob) experienced the same levels of plant water stress as vines under 'normal' vineyard management (control) ~ 65% of the time
so will anyone listen to a podcast where I talk to my 91 yr old grandma about our family farm, dating before electricity, the dust bowl, her favorite light beers, veteran health care, Oakland in the 1950s, backyard birding, etc?
PSA: according to @github if your cell phone and laptop are stolen you're out of luck on recovering your MFA-enabled account and it's no big deal to lose 7+ years of work. Save your recovery codes in many places friends. Or better yet switch version control services.
To make environmental progress, we need to work with those pulling in the same direction (even if they're a few degrees off). We're on the same team.
When we fight between us we let those blocking action gain ground.
Doomsdayers who say "we're too late" discourage action.
My friend’s #almonds. No #CAwater for them this year. Thousands of acres are being removed in a few mile radius of our farm. We’re not immune. We’ll be taking out almonds and cherries this year, too. #CAdrought#CAwatercrisis#farms#food
Taylor Chalstrom sits down with John Knutson and Alyssa DeVincentis, co-founders at Vitidore, to discuss Oakville bluegrass and MRV technology!
