The NASA #PANGEA scoping is in full swing! Thanks Land-Cover & Land-Use Change (LCLUC) Program for the opportunity to present at the Science Team Meeting. Next is our hybrid workshop AGU (American Geophysical Union) in DC. Then off to EGU for a Town Hall w the European community. Join us! #climatechange #tropicalforests

1/4 Aloha, this week we launched a partnership website supporting the new ʻĀkoʻakoʻa Reef Restoration Program for coral reef restoration along the west coast of Hawaiʻi Island. akoakoa.org

PhD available in the Ecosystem Science Lab NAU to work on tree drought and barkbeetle stress across Arizona and the US Southwest. We're developing a first-of-its-kind system to monitor stress across the entire state on a daily, individual tree scale. DM CV & cover letter! RT!

New research near shows that identifying and protecting marine ecosystems both down-current and up-current of coral reefs is crucial to future coral conservation and restoration efforts — especially as reefs face the effects of climate change.

What can the seafloor tell us about coral settlement? In our new study in PNASNews, we find that coral recruits prefer to settle near coarse rugosity, like volcanic boulders, that can be mapped from the sky. Greg Asner ASU GDCS Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Fun time at the Hilo airport show today. We stopped counting at 209 kids pressing the buttons onboard our airborne lab!

In Hilo, Hawaii today! Our airborne laboratory will be on display alongside lots of other cool planes! @asu_gdcs ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory

Honored and excited to work with you! Welcome to our growing amazing team in Hawaii! ASU GDCS Asner Lab ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory

Congratulations to now Doctor Megs on completing her PhD using advanced airborne imaging spectroscopy to explore the functioning and evolution of Hawaiian forests! SGSUP at ASU ASU GDCS

PhD student opportunity in my lab at Colorado State University! Focused on quantitative integration of geospatial and field data to understand disturbance in western US forests. Involves collaboration with a great team including Matthew Hurteau francisforestecologylab.com/opportunities

Can agricultural plant nitrogen be monitored operationally across all crops? YES! Great work in numerous locations with our #GlobalAirborneObservatory in preparation for the CarbonMapper and Planet Tanager hyperspectral mission in 2024.

A year following the launch of 'The Letter', I still get great questions about the interaction of science and faith. The Chair of the IPCC Dr. Hoesung Lee (& quoting Pope Francis ) said it best at the show's premier at the Vatican one year ago today. theletterfilm.org

Excited to announce the publication of our Metrosideros polymorpha distribution map!
