#Opportunity: #postdocjobs with NW Climate Hub & @wsucahnrs to help with research & summarize science on NW ag climate-smart practices. PhD in soil science, agronomy, or related field & experience with carbon modeling required.
NRCS Regional Conservationist in the West, Astor Boozer, and NRCS Oregon State Conservationist, Ron Alvarado, visited Marion County on July 27, 2023. Owner and operator, Todd Ditchen, acted as their tour guide on a visit to Five Oaks Farm. On the tour, the group discussed the ways in which Conservation Implementation Strategies are used in Marion County and the success of each strategy. The group discussed improvements in irrigation, water saving ability, and soil health practices. Photo credit: NRCS Oregon District Conservationist, Les Bachelor.

Talking about climate change can feel bleak — especially in dealing with an uncertain future. Is there a better way? Read more in today's blog from @chadekruger on the why behind an analogs approach to dialogue — and the Academy as a result⬇️⬇️ csanr.wsu.edu/the-origin-of-…

The Origin of the Climate Analogs Academy

How real-world climate analogs transformed abstract forecasts into practical, hopeful adaptation planning for farmers and Extension professionals.

Simplistic characterization of emissions. Farms cycle greenhouse gases. They absorb a bunch of CO2 and emit a bunch of CO2, methane, and N2O. Net emissions are what matters and they are hard to measure and regulate, even without political barriers. asmith.ucdavis.edu/news/why-…

Along with reducing fossil fuel emissions, employing soils as vast #carbonsinks is a key strategy in solving the #climatecrisis. But not all soils are the same, shows research by Dr. Francesca Cotrufo of @CSUAgSci . #sequestration #CSU agsci.source.colostate.edu/a…

As a way to fight climate change, not all soils are created equal

Understanding the diversity of soil organic matter can help science, government and agriculture move forward with carbon sequestration to help reverse the tide of climate change while increasing the...
