It's #FieldPhotoFriday!

To enable methane-sensing drone flights at a wetland environment in interior Alaska (@BNZ_LTER), our @usgs_climate and @EPAresearch collaborators placed large wood planks onto the wet soil, creating dry, flat areas for takeoff and landing.

[USGS National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO) @USGS_UAS]

Scientists traditionally monitor methane emissions using ground-based flux towers and surface chambers. While these methods provide valuable data, they are resource-intensive & done in limited areas. UAS may enable scientists to extend their monitoring of wetlands across Alaska.

@EklofJoel Occasionally, to help Jamie now that the LTER HLhas taken over some of the long-term soil moisture and temperature logging at these sites.

[Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge @Jeffinerca]

Caregiver awards for AGU (and any mtg) make SUCH a difference. If you realize that you could attend IF you had a bit of help… this is for you!

[Kristen Manies @kmanies]

@LifesJustPeaty Congratulations!

[Benjamin Sulman @BenjaminSulman]

I'm hiring a postdoc in wetland modeling, focused on process-based simulations of coastal and high-latitude wetlands in a land surface model at regional continental scales. Work on a cool problem with a supportive and collaborative group!

@EklofJoel Don't think I can attend, but you'll do great!

[Kristen Manies @kmanies]

@ArcticWebb I think I need to know this airbnb!!

[Louise Farquharson 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 @LM_Farquharson]

🚨3yr postdoc with the @UAFGI Permafrost Laboratory focused on improving our ability to understand and model #permafrost response to climate and disturbances (with working link this time!)

@Kenzco4 Congrats!!

@LifesJustPeaty @HomeDepot The most dreaded question in Home Depot: "Well, what do you need it for?". Truly, most of the time, they don't want to know 😁

@ScootJD My condolences

[Mike Koontz, PhD @_mikoontz]

Has anyone flown #drones on the Blue List (https://t.co/AJlZzM60Lx) for ecology research? We want to automate aerial surveys at specified image overlap, cache maps/background imagery/flight plans for no-cell-service areas, and fly with terrain awareness. Please RT!

[Kristen Manies @kmanies]

@JorgeRH2O @ESA_SEEDS @ESA_org @stanfordjrbp Congratulations!!

[Canadian Permafrost Association @cpa_acp]

🚨 Call for abstracts is now open for the 2024 International Conference on Permafrost! With almost 50 sessions to choose from, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss! Submit a 250 word abstract before May 15th.

@Carbon_Cait Congratulations!

30 infants die and we recall 4.7 mil Rock ‘n Play Sleepers.

2 toddlers die and we recall 3.2 mil Calico Critters toys.

2 infants die and we recall so much formula that the US goes into shortage.

Last year, over 6,000 children were injured by gun violence.

Nothing. Nada.

[Kristen Manies @kmanies]

@USGS_UAS @USGS_Water @FloridaAtlantic Peat! I want to know more details, please.
