We look back so we can see ahead.
#BrighamYoung-based Bradley Adams describes his team's work developing reliable #EnvironmentalScience #models.
Get your voice heard. Public testimony during local government meetings has an impact on #policy decisions. You can make a difference by showing up and sharing what’s important to you as a member of the community.
Here are some things to keep in mind as you prepare to testify at the next city council meeting.
@CopernicusEU Beautiful visualization.

What is it like to study the melting of #Antarctic ice shelves in 2023? EGU's Simon Clark talks to one of the new EGU Cryospheric Sciences Division #EarlyCareer Scientist Co-Representatives Ann-Sophie Zinck as she discusses her research and how you can get involved in EGU!

#Collaboration is at the heart of the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network.
Here's an example of what that looks like for #undergraduate researchers. Data included in a recent #Geological Sciences of America meeting was collected by equipment designed by one Cluster and used by another.

Floating #microplastics can harbor #parasites, #bacteria, #fungi, and #viruses. Could these plastic bits facilitate the spread of disease? There’s enough evidence to raise concern. A PNAS News Feature: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2311253120
@mrillig Congratulations. Such important work. And thank you for supporting #OpenAccess to research and publications.
The relationship between #scientists and #policymakers is changing.
Traditionally #science is made available to those who are interested, and the scientist goes on to do more work.
This 2022 paper examines how #Dutch scientists took a more active role in shaping #policy.
"An engagement with the politics of knowledge by experts as well as policymakers can encourage more effective and legitimate knowledge production and use."
Dust^2 principal investigator Jeff Munroe has presented his work many times. But there's always a first time.
In this video @jmunroe talks a bit about the uncertainty a student may feel when presenting about their project to people who have varying levels of experience in the area of study being presented.
Have confidence, Munroe encourages, and you'll have a better experience than you are expecting.
We are but 1 of 9 Clusters that are part of the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network. Together we are over 300 researchers working to better understand the #ComplexSystems of the #Earth System that supports surface life on our planet.
Want to find out how you can get involved in #SciencePolicy? Why not join a free EGU Policy #Science4Policy Hangout and chat with people working at the Science-Policy interface!
Our next Hangout is today at 14:00CEST!

"As Utah chases toward its dream of hosting the Winter Games again in either 2030 or 2034, it will need to take dust into account."

Hello 👋
We're #PolarRES an exciting research project which will explore the future of the polar climate with funding from the EU's #HorizonEurope research program.
You can find out more about our work on our website: https://polarres.eu/

This work has taken on unexpected importance as we study how particulates move through the #CriticalZone.
If you're a journalist and writing about #microplastics Cluster member Janice Brahney is a great source of information and insight for you.
Mineral #dust particulates can be very small. And persistent. They can get inside your respiratory system and affect physical health.
It’s one of the reasons we study how dust moves through the #CriticalZone, the part of the Earth system which supports surface life. We want to know what we’re breathing and where it came from.
You can take steps to reduce exposure to dust particulates. Tips and ideas about indoor #AirQuality from the EPA.

"Here, we present records of the...composition of sediments from...over the past ∼25 thousand years."
Fascinating paper from June 2023 by Wenfang Zhang, et. al.
This is #SourceToSink research in the #CriticalZone in #China and aligns with some of the the early findings from our Cluster projects.
