[SPIRou + Wapiti => habitable exoplanet] Thanks to the #SPIRou infrared spectrometer on the #CFHT and the implementation of Wapiti, a new method for correcting #disturbances related to the #atmosphere, astronomers have detected an #exoplanet in the habitable zone of an M-type star—11.4 light-years from Earth.
Next-generation instruments will make it possible to determine whether this planet is rocky or not, and whether liquid water is part of its composition.

Little terns nest on sheltered sandy beaches
"These small seabirds are not faring well along Australia’s south-eastern coastline."
"As a beach-nesting bird, Australian fairy terns often lay their eggs on wide sandy beaches next to clear blue water – exactly the sort of places people enjoy for recreation...The overlap puts the birds and their offspring at risk from people, cars, foxes and other predators, as well as weather events like storm surges."

NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR JULY 13 & 14, 2024:
The #Northland will be dealing with #hot and #humid #weather this weekend with #temperatures in the 80s and low 90s, and #dew #points in the 60s and lower 70s.
Several #disturbances will bring #showers and #thunderstorms. There is the potential that some #storms become #severe. High #winds are the biggest concern along with heavy #rain.

Nice analysis of #Canada's forests using large-scale and long-term #data:
"#Tree diversity increases decadal forest #soil carbon and nitrogen accrual" by Chen et al (2023)
Quote: "...#conserving and promoting functionally #diverse forests could promote soil carbon and #nitrogen storage, enhancing both #carbon sink capacity and soil nitrogen fertility."
This is increasingly important to consider we impose larger and more frequent #disturbances on #forest #ecosystems.

"Uncertainty, thus, is the parent of #biodiversity, and localized #disturbances such as #fires --which, at least up to a point, increase the level of #uncertainty-- are key to the maintenance of #diversity"

Humans societies are subject to #disturbances (like ecosystems). #Societal disturbances include #hurricanes, #floods, #epidemics, #nuclear accidents, #earthquakes, #wars, among others. The occurred in the past, will continue to occur in the future, & in fact, they contribute to shape #cultural evolution
1% of the disturbances to societies accounts for 87% of fatalities over the last 4000 years of human history

Well, we know that when we arrive to a new land, not only in America but also in North Europe, we practiced fire suppression heavily. For several reasons, but of course, some of them are economic. Forest had a lot of value, especially in the past, so we prefer they didn't get burned.

#introduction: I'm a scientist at #CSIC, Spain, interested in the #ecology & #evolution of fire-prone #ecosystems, & more generally, in disturbance ecology. I aim to understanding the role of #fire and other #disturbances in shaping species, populations, #communities, #landscapes, #biomes, & the #biosphere.

So, I guess one needs to add an #introduction. I work on #remotesensing of the #landsurface, and I am particularly interested in #disturbances, #wildfires #agriculture #dataassimilation and #carboncycle
