A first look at the impacts of the Mosquito Fire on Blodgett Forest. Dr. Rob York, Co-Director of Berkeley Forests, discusses the impacts on one stand and how our management utilizing pyrosilviculture significantly altered the fire behavior. Video part 1 here, part 2 below.

[Elizabeth Pansing, PhD @EPansing]

Thrilled to see this concept making its way into the broader media. Fire effects matter more than fire size. https://t.co/xjNbtyCmG4

Our new research article from @gmbadge and @dcullenward evaluates the quality of carbon offset credits moving from @VerraStandards to the blockchain via @ToucanProtocol. (1/7)

It’s important to present the shortcomings of new technologies alongside the optimistic case for them

[carbonplan @carbonplanorg]

Blockchain-based offset strategies usually assume someone else has solved the credit quality problem. Our results demonstrate the prescience of earlier warnings from experts like @claudherb and @LaurenGifford. (7/7)

omg 😭 thank you @ReFipunks for making this

[ReFi Punks @ReFipunks]

I'm not sure how we got the discord extension /ReFi, but we won't take this responsibility lightly💪

Our goal is to bring #ReFi and #DeFi communities together and fund regeneration! 🔥

Let's change the world together and look cool doing it😎

@LaurenGifford @LeehiYona What sort of other interoperable ledger do you have in mind?

[Claudia Herbert @claudherb]

@KHonkoila @VerraStandards @goldstandard That would be great but Haya’s research finds that the registries include projects that lack additionality. Since those projects are still available on registries, the purchaser has to figure out what’s worth buying

I talked to @AndrewKersley @WIRED about @ToucanProtocol, read more here:

“What I found in my research is that for the majority of these forest projects the methods for estimating emissions reductions are overestimating their impact by between 50 and over 80 per cent." https://t.co/tuoDdbqygn Via @WIREDUK #WIREDWorld2022

[Claudia Herbert @claudherb]

Figuring out quality isn’t a side quest, it has to be core. It’s not sustainable for protocols to incentivize low quality carbon. & it’s a waste of resources to relearn the lessons the traditional carbon markets have taught us over the past decade. Who’s already working on this?

[Claudia Herbert @claudherb]

Newer projects and supply pools are trying to signal that they are doing this quality control. But currently, this often means just using nature based carbon. Given the still large range in quality among nature based carbon offsets, there remains room for innovation.

[Claudia Herbert @claudherb]

Genuinely been waiting to see details on this, but how is allowing staked users to offset—burning your backed asset—sustainable?

I get why users might want credit for passively retiring carbon on-chain but how does this work for the treasury?
