@nceas-ucsb.bsky.social🌞 This Indigenous People's Day, we honor the deep ecological knowledge and enduring stewardship of Indigenous communities, partners in protecting the land, water, and biodiversity we all depend on, especially the Chumash people on whose ancestral lands we live and work here at NCEAS.
@nceas-ucsb.bsky.social🌱 Meet Tracemakers, the Morpho Initiative’s new working group!
This team will uncover the impact of underground dwellers and develop scalable ways to monitor soil health.

@nceas-ucsb.bsky.social🐟 493 cobia tagged, 15 recaptured up to 465 miles away ➡️ all by one volunteer angler in Texas. His decades of data now feed NCEAS's Gulf Ecosystem Initiative species models.
🎣 Thank you, Charles!

@nceas-ucsb.bsky.social🧊The Arctic is warmer faster than the global rate ➡️ it shows in permafrost thaw. @awi.de @woodwellclimate.bsky.social https://theconversation.com/disappearing-lakes-and-ai-are-helping-scientists-map-arctic-permafrost-thaw-in-near-real-time-290238
@nceas-ucsb.bsky.social❄️ Permafrost is ground that remains below 0C for at least two years and covers much of the Arctic ️➡️ and it's thawing, releasing carbon that's been locked away for thousands of years.
🏔️ The Permafrost Discovery Gateway uses AI to track that thaw
