A 🧵 Highlighting some of the amazing talks, posters, and sessions at #AGU20 from now-Dec. 15, updated as we go

⚠️Disclaimer: My biased take—mostly plants & JEDI 🌱
🧵 1st-up is @ElsaOrdway @Harvard B041-05

explained how
1⃣we can use lightwaves to determine tropical plant communities/traits 🤯
2⃣do this from airplanes and even from space ✈️🛰️
3⃣ use info to model tropical and global forest dynamics 🌴🌳🍃
@AGUbiogeo https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/676021
🧵 poster by Emily Lacroix @StanfordEarth PhDc & @StanfordDIG alum shows:
1⃣What are "anaerobic microsites" 🔍and how do they protect soil Carbon
2⃣ Soil C in microsites is vulnerable to physical disturbances (like tilling) especially in coarse/wet soil

🧵Poster📈 by @leanderegg
B082-0017 - Predicting drought stress is hard🥵

1⃣some 🌳s have varied drought coping traits-like deep roots
2⃣climatic shifts have led to MASSIVE drought induced-tree mortality
We Don't Know which trees will die, why, or where

🧵 B088-01 Talk📽️by @jennifer_pow @CMSmithMartin @gevargu @XiangtaoX #DavidMedvigy

Diff btw Lianas & Trees in a Dry Trop Forest
1⃣ Allometry is not fun ⛏️😅
2⃣ similar/overlap-in biomass allocation patterns
3⃣ rooting depth linked to canopy traits 💡

🧵A124-07📽️ by @EricLebel32 @StanfordEarth on measuring methane emissions from household gas stoves 🏠🍳🔥

A preview of his dissertation which HE DEFENDS TOMORROW 😬🎉

⚠️74% of methane emitted from gas stoves occurred while NOT IN USE/OFF ⚠️

🧵B025-08📈 by global premier scientist/rockstar @avnimalh0tra on global peatland respiration

1⃣peat store 1/3 vulnerable soil C with potential major losses with future change
2⃣ Peat Ecosystem Respiration may ⬆️27% by 2050
3⃣ Peat ER is <<<< Soil ER

🧵3 interesting #scicomm 📢workshops on 2-Dec #AGU20 @AGU_SciComm
1⃣ Tell me a story: Storytelling in SciComm 🎙️
2⃣ How to Sketch Your Science 🎨
3⃣ Rhyme Your Research: Workshop (science & poetry) 🎤
🧵 #AGU2020 Day 2, Lot's of live #scicomm and #JEDI today

Pro tip: Miss running into people in the coffee line? 🙋‍♂️
Reach out to them, they miss the human interaction too ☕️

Thread Key:
Poster = 📈
Talk = 📽️
What should represent panels, workshops, etc..? 🤷‍♂️
🧵B016-0005 📈by #AndrewOuimette @ScottOllinger et al @UNHEOS
Is coarse woody debris-CWD 🪵 the missing N sink @HubbardBrookNH ?

1⃣ unknown ~recent~ nitrogen sink 🤔
2⃣ CWD 🪵⬆️over time
3⃣ CWD🪵 alone is NOT the missing sink
4⃣ So What is? 🤷‍♂️N fluxes?
