Check our new paper on Earth's Future, we also developed a new model framework to identify the N deposition threshold at which the drylands become N saturated.

What do you trust more, NASA satellite data or climate models?
13 Oct 2025
🚨 None of the @UN IPCC models capture what @NASA satellites are seeing.
We should assume and prepare for the worst, as there is a non-zero chance of 3°C of global warming by 2050.
We better assume that it will happen and/or try to make sure that it doesn't happen.

🌍 Just wrapped up my course "Unlock the Power of Mapping in R" at CEU: what an amazing journey! Nearly 30 talented Master's students, many new to programming, mastered R, spatial analysis, and ggplot2 to tackle real-world political issues.
Their final projects mapped everything from elections and conflict zones to economic development, truly remarkable! Check out some of their fantastic maps below!
💡 Want your team or university to master these valuable skills? I offer customized, interactive workshops tailored specifically to your needs.
🚀 I'm also launching a live, Zoom-based version of this course soon. Interested? Drop a comment or DM me. I’d love to connect!

You've heard of the studies where they give the same dataset/research question to a bunch of researchers and they tend to get different answers, right?
Why is that?
This new working paper shows that it has a lot to do with data cleaning.
This is consistent with Gelman's "garden of forking paths" analogy. Small researcher coding decisions greatly influence results, often without being explicitly acknowledged.
