Early career folks at #AMS2023, UT Austin is searching for assistant profs in the Earth & planetary sciences! Happy to chat about the search & exciting new stuff happening @txgeosciences, especially in #Climate. DM me or come by my poster on Weds (#803)!

Aerosol pollutants have masked the effects of global warming. Without them, the U.S. is about to get a lot wetter. grist.org/science/aerosol-po…

Improving our understanding of the “pattern effect” is a promising avenue to reduce uncertainty in estimates of climate sensitivity, a grand challenge in climate science, scientists write.

Excited to see a broad set of climate panels come out for @sxsw on important areas, from many friends and collaborators!
Vote for our "Women in Science Leading Climate Action" event with @Tianyi_Sun_ @ggpersad @Skapnick for a fun+nerdy+empowering time!

Can’t overstate how meaningful this is to me given the personal and professional stress I was under to get the paper wrapped up before I had my second baby. Thank you to the selection committee and to @EnvDefenseFund Chief Scientist Steve Hamburg for guidance and support 🙏.
Congratulations to @ilissaocko, the recipient of the 2022 ACP Paul Crutzen Publication Award for her paper on The Climate Consequences of Hydrogen Emissions. #acpcrutzen. We also announce 5 runners up who were shortlisted. atmospheric-chemistry-and-ph…
Scrambling to find the perfect @theAGU session for your #aerosol and #climate research? Submit to my session w/ @LJ_Wilcox, @bjornhs, @DWatsonParris, & James Gomez: Aerosols as Drivers of Climate Risk!

Okay, who at @NASA is responsible for the fact that ROSES is released on Valentine’s Day every year? The originator of this pun deserves credit. 🌹❤️

Congratulations to JSG assistant professor Daniella Rempe on her @NSF CAREER award! The award will help Rempe expand her research into the critical zone, a near surface layer that can affect the water supply during droughts. ow.ly/orGk50MAxLk

Exciting start to the week!! My 1st first-author paper was just published in ACP!! 💖
We used several aircraft campaigns to investigate cirrus cloud formation/evolution and then compared our findings to collocated CAM6 simulations. Read further here: acp.copernicus.org/articles/…
ALT A screenshot of a scientific article titled "Examination of Aerosol Indirect Effects during Cirrus Cloud Evolution" published in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) journal. Authors are Flor Vanessa Maciel, Minghui Diao, and Ryan Patnaude. The first author's name is highlighted.
Folks at #AMS2023, come check out my poster on Weds evening (#803) on #aerosols and #climate risk! I’ll share key takeaways and ways forward from my @Nature comment with @LJ_Wilcox and @bjornhs and other forthcoming work.
What big issue was missing at #COP27? How #aerosols and the quest for cleaner air are affecting near-term #climate risk and #LossAndDamage. Check out our new commentary in @Nature: "Aerosols must be included in climate risk assessments" nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
As #AtmosphericRivers pummel CA, I keep thinking of this 2019 blog I wrote for @UCSUSA. This event is like pointing a fire hose at a bathtub. How we get our water matters for whether we can use it when we need it. #CAwx
