Charlotte the stingray has gained national attention for becoming pregnant without a mate in a North Carolina aquarium. Even stingrays are telling us they don’t need men 😂

A recent study analyzing the cumulative effects of climate change on the amazon rainforest proves that the forest is much more vulnerable than we thought.

If we keep this up, the Amazon rainforest is gonna become the Amazon grasslands 😓 @HitchScienceUNR

Found this poster advertising a science talk in the Davidson math and science center. 🔬Misinformation in science is a big issue that more people need to talk about! @HitchScienceUNR

Coral reefs are dying from ocean heat waves caused by climate change 😲🪸
However, scientists are working on solutions to restore coral reefs through the use of robots and coral tree nurseries! Heres how: https://t.co/FnDpTEru5k

Groundwater is depleting globally, particularly in areas with dry climates according to a recently published study which analyzed roughly 1700 aquifers. https://t.co/7XlaQSEwEu

Irrigation and lower precipitation in these areas are the biggest cause. @HitchScienceUNR

Is Lake Tahoe getting clearer? Leave it to our @HitchScienceUNR students to do a *deep dive* into the lake's water clarity, environmental impacts, and much more in their interactive StoryMap. https://t.co/9dqM0e3qWF

[College of Science at the Uni. of Nevada, Reno @UNRScience]

Check out this ArcGIS StoryMap about Lake Tahoe's clarity, featuring scientists from the Lake Tahoe Advisory Council, including our own Sudeep Chandra! This is a great way to learn more about the science that goes into preserving Lake Tahoe's clarity⤵️

Lake Tahoe’s water clarity is changing — but what do scientists think this means? And why does it matter? (1/11)

Check out our new StoryMap, produced in partnership with scientists from the Tahoe Science Advisory Council! #Tahoe @ArcGISStoryMaps

The stinky Bradford Pear tree is the most common tree in the city of Reno's inventory - despite it being an invasive species.

Some states have banned the sale and planting of the Bradford Pear. So where does Reno stand?

Had so much photographing UC Davis researchers last Friday!

[Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science @HitchScienceUNR]

Sharing some behind-the-scenes highlights of our adventure last Friday on #LakeTahoe. With cameras, tripods, drones, and lenses, our team from @RSJNevada got to capture different angles of the lake for an #ArcGIS StoryMap on water clarity.
We can’t get over it!

[The Reynolds School @RSJNevada]

Our incredible team @HitchScienceUNR spent their Friday on the lake working on a story about record-breaking water clarity in Lake Tahoe. Can't wait to see the finished product! @UNRLakeTahoe

[Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science @HitchScienceUNR]

Fabulous Friday views for @RSJNevada students @VanesadelaCruz_ and @sydneypeerman, reporting from UCDavis’s research boat on Lake Tahoe! 🤩 Our team is working on an #ArcGIS StoryMap about lake water clarity…stay tuned for the final product in a few weeks!
