I'm trying to think of some interesting, helpful, or fun map ideas for me to practice GIS and cartography.
- OpenStreetMap of the Emerald City Resource Guide that can be used offline
- Something about cryptid (UFO?) sightings in the US
- Farm locations in a watershed and their impact on water quality
- Locations from favorite books set in real life (like Among the Isles of Shoals by Celia Thaxter)
I'm a student and still learning... any advice?
Many Regions Have Warmed Beyond 1.5°C and Some Beyond 2°C, New Study Finds..
Good morning - such a lovely way to start the day... 🦉

Seriously, fuck James Talarico. What the absolute fuck is this idiot talking about?
“The American people cannot wait two years for change. So we must work with President Trump,” Talarico said. “If President Trump wants the same plaques and portraits and busts as LBJ, we can help make that a reality.”
outlook down all day
fortunately Boss and I are old and still manage most of our work lives in notebooks
we did have to pull down a wall calendar to talk about scheduling some field work in December and plan our approach to a couple of upcoming deadlines
I recommended my professor open up a discussion board on Canvas for us to post articles relevant to environmental science. So far I'm the only one who's posted any articles, though.
Can't help but chuckle after days of hearing "Na-vidia" news from multibillion dollar news agencies.
I think my favorite labs so far are the ones about soil science...
Modern geobiomes from the point of view of bees:
"...bioregionalization and species richness are decoupled because they arise from distinct processes: the former reflects historical dispersal and evolutionary history, the latter local diversification..."

I can’t evaluate this, but here’s an argument that our current El Niño, while large, is not larger than others in the last few decades. - A big el Niño

I'm really annoyed that Microsoft is pushing copilot on Outlook. The Copilot pane just pops back up so many times, even if I hadn't asked for it...it's really annoying. I wish they'd invest in proper search functionality than on copilot - or is copilot replacing search?

Everyone laughed at my communique via the Beacons of Gondor idea, but look at you fools now that Microsoft exchange is down. Who’s laughing now huh
A two-year fishing ban in Portugal led to the recovery of seafloor vegetation and overall habitat – but not all seahorses celebrated equally.
This week’s #ThrowbackThursday spotlight study revealed that long-snouted seahorses, who love dense and complex vegetation, thrived following the fishing ban. Whereas short-snouted seahorses, who prefer open and bare sand, did not – in fact, short-snouted seahorse numbers declined.
saw a talk at work today that included a slide of these little guys and I'm obsessed with them

Puron halkoma lähdekorpi ja kostea lehto oli tänään aavistuksen märkä. Vettä tuli taivaalta 6 tuntia lähes taukoamatta. Uoman ympärillä on pitkällä matkalla tihkupintoja, ja pohjavettä purkautuu myös puroon.
