Coral reef oases DO exist, and Powell Center group from 2016 determined the characteristics that allow some reefs to thrive. Check it out at usgs.gov/centers/spcmsc/news….
Synthesis, the gift that keeps on giving. @usgsJWP

Not all coral reefs are declining, giving hope for persistence. Elahi et al. (doi:10.1002/eap.2651) demonstrate coral reef oases most likely in areas of low human population density. Results are directly applicable to biodiversity conservation strategies. Proudly @usgsJWP

So much effort in US has gone to identify water supplies, but as they dwindle we need much better accounting related to water demand. New

Ongoing work by USGS via @usgsJWP helped to support the adoption of a new international standard for ecosystem accounting. The SEEA EA ow.ly/8FOI50DXIIC. was accepted by the U.N. Statistical Commission as a statistical standard on March 11, 2021. #makenaturecount

“Is it going to be a bad year for mosquitos?” To answer questions like this and inform management decisions, we are partnering with @NEON_sci, @USANPN, and @usgsJWP to predict and forecast mosquito timing and abundance. Learn more: neonscience.org/impact/obser…📷Battelle/NEON Program

Land plays a critical role in both economic and environmental accounting. New paper by Wentland et al. from @usgsJWP and @sesync estimates land use/cover/value of US lands over time for ecosystem service accounts and natural capital accounting.

Excited to be part of a kick-off meeting for a @usgsJWP working group. This group will be developing models of mosquito #phenology - and hopefully, @USANPN will ultimately deliver forecasts using these models. What a great team this is!
