Megacities Carbon Project http://t.co/kuEphwRyGR highlighted as a "project to watch" at #climate14 http://t.co/Oz9nxnxkfF

Make your own #tornado! Ingredients: 1 nuclear plant or active volcano, 1 large lake or ocean, patience.

Breaching #humpback, Kohala, Hawaii, 2/2014. Why do whales jump? Many theories but I'm betting on "whee!"

[Riley Duren @rileyduren]

Curious #orca and people check each other out. We of course hollered "you're gonna need a bigger boat".

[Riley Duren @rileyduren]

#glaciers are staggering (we're about 1km from this one in Tracy Arm). so is the melt rate/mass loss.

#humpback bubble-net feeding. fish, birds, and whales - a complete free for all.

[Riley Duren @rileyduren]

Inside Passage in summer = BIOMASS (on land and sea); common sight: 10 #humpback whales bubble-net feeding.

Playing catchup: 12 days photographing megafauna, landscapes of maritime Alaska on NatGeo Seabird 9/2013.

New favorite bird: the Blue Manakin. Tobago. Moments before one of the sillier mating dances in nature

Nice idea by Kevin Gurney @carbonczar. Ventus project. Crowd sourcing: Find the Carbon Game. http://t.co/RvbXbTgV0Y . #ventusco2

What's dumber: me consulting iPhone map app to find my hotel around the corner - or resulting directions?

Seen at coffee shop in DC yesterday. This really speaks to me.

Global CO2 levels recently hit 400 ppm. Now scientists like @rileyduren are targeting megacities' carbon footprints: http://t.co/HOq0ToGnWz

Another one. "Sea slug" indeed! Honokohau Harbor, Kona. Sigh, overdue for another reef critter survey.

Deep in thought today when my fav nudibranch crawled across screensaver: Chromodoris kuniei (Palau, 2012).

Another reason why measuring #carbon emissions from cities is important: Asia-Pacific Carbon Market.

A call for #geoengineering governance. But seems to miss near-term, sig risk of LOCAL environ impacts.

Why regional geoengineering (& its risks) might materialize sooner than later:
