Trying things out on the other site at the same handle. Appears that most US-based academics have now moved over there; orgs are a bit behind. I used this Chrome extension to find many of my current follows over there but also had to do some manual search: sky-follower-bridge.dev/

Wow: "we estimate that if France had begun its fertility decline at the same time as England, 320.4 million people of French ancestry would be living outside of France today, instead of 23.8 million"

See below for a good summary of what has happened in WNC. Notably, "our state’s long-running benchmark for deaths during a tropical event – approximately 80 during the mountain region’s July 1916 flood – could be in jeopardy from this storm."

The extent of Helene's devastation in western NC is still being discovered, but the data shows this was a record-breaking event that has earned a spot among our state's worst storms ever. #ncwx Our Climate Blog has an early look at Helene and its impacts: climate.ncsu.edu/blog/2024/0…
