Mind blown.🤯There is a thing called 'whale carbon'. It's the amount of carbon stored in whale bodies, including "deadfalls" sunken on the sea floor. And if we restored global whale populations to pre-whaling levels, they'd sequester 1.7 billion tons of carbon/year. #bluecarbon
Colleagues and I published surprising research indicating that COVID-19 cases are linked to neighborhood greenness, independent of race & income. The case is clear that #urbangreening needs to be a core pillar of human health, #environmentaljustice, and community #resilience work
What does #nature have to do with #COVID19 and our path to recovery?
Today @naturesustainab published research led by scientists at @sfei_asc and @nature_org finding that COVID-19 tracks neighborhood greenness in the US, exacerbating existing inequity 📉

Super excited to present our final #HiddenNatureSF#historicalecology mapping and online tools next Tuesday! This project has been such a fun and surprising journey, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
Do you wonder what San Francisco looked like before its urban transformation?
On Tues 9/21 7PM we will join @exploratorium, the Assoc. of Ramaytush Ohlone, & @presidiosf to explore how the city’s past ecology can inform a healthier future #HiddenNatureSF https://t.co/apKjhgHqsj
