🎉 New preprint! We used network theory to predict grassland to shrubland shifts in the SW United States.
Connectivity patterns of water & nutrients gave us early warnings 4 to 16 years before visible changes.

New article alert. Published today in Nature Plants
@NaturePlants! I provide some context and my own thoughts on the interesting work by @ManuDelBaq, @DJ_Eldridge, and others on global dryland protections and the consequences (https://t.co/GAOY8k38iU).

Join us September 10th at 10 for our drought briefing. Dr. Kyle Bocinsky with the Montana Climate Office will present #drought conditions for the #southwest. He will also highlight unique perspectives and challenges for tribal lands and communities. https://t.co/vzDkyEUkIU
NOAA’s 2026 budget slashes climate science—terminating major labs like PMEL and GFDL, and cutting key ocean observation and modeling programs.
These efforts are critical for tracking and forecasting El Niño, monsoon, hurricanes, and long-term climate change. That foundation is now at risk.
Proposed Budget FY2026:

Cabinet approves One Nation One Subscription (ONOS)
Union Cabinet approved One Nation One Subscription, a new Central Sector Scheme for providing country-wide access to scholarly research articles and journal publication
The scheme will be administered through a simple, user friendly and fully digital process. This will be a “One Nation One Subscription” facility for the government higher education institutions and R&D laboratories of the central government

Excited to highlight another publication from my collaboration with @RecinosBrizuela @BigerScience . This is a really interesting application of multilayer networks in landscape ecology. Read it here: https://t.co/hxO9ThgV7D
State transitions in #drylands can be reinforced by complex trophic interactions interacting with resource pulses—new paper by Casey Wagnon @JornadaLTER @TheJornada https://t.co/YBL2bQQkC3
#Droughts are risks, but they needn't be disasters 🌪️
At #DroughtResilience+10, the world's top experts are charting a path to turn policies into actions for more resilient economies and communities 🤝
Join us at #DR10 and stay tuned for highlights and takeaways! #UNited4Land
If you're attending the DR +10 conference, stop by our poster on "The Role of Connectivity in Driving Grassland-Shrubland Regime Shifts: Impacts of Aridity, Grazing, and Wind Dynamics." Day 1 has been filled with great talks!
Day 2 of the #DroughtResilience10 conference has started!
Today’s first combined session: The Need to Turn Drought Policies into Action. These slides are from Daniel Tsegai's presentation on the global pervasiveness of drought and pathways to impact.

This #WorldRiversDay, celebrate our unique chalk streams.
Their clear water flows from underground, supporting vibrant ecosystems.
With @HertsCC, we restored a section of the River Beane, returning this chalk stream’s riverbank to a natural state and creating new habitat.
Restoration can offset current degradation levels, with varied intensities and outcomes.
🌏 Learn more about why restoration matters and be part of #GenerationRestoration.
