We're back on day 3 of #BiGWeek2021 to talk about #NaturalHazards.
We picked Dr. Eliot Atekwana's brain and will be posting his responses for the next hour.
Dr. Atekwana is a stable isotope geochemist who addresses basic questions in hydrology, CO2 cycling, and env change.

Let's do this! #NaturalHazardsTweetChat 
Now, we can all agree that this Covid-19 delta gamma gamma radiation rho mu or whatever variation that may be at a local store near you thing sucks. But for SCIENCE purposes, it has been a rather intriguing human planet experiment to say the least....
Why is it intriguing? Well... This is truly the first time in modern history that we get to "shut off" human impacts, like a light switch, on the planet: travel (vehicle, airplanes, boats, trucks, etc...), waste, movement, and whatever, just to look at what would happen.
#ClimateCrisisTweetChat What is MY role in the Anthropocene? How do humans impact air and water all over the world? #BiGweek2021 #BlackInGeoscienceWeek
Ah, you ask what the deuce is the Anthropocene? Its fancy talk for denoting the current geological age in which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.
Simply stated, You, yes You!! Me as well, are flubbing up things with the planet at an unsustainable rate; And, now!! Thanks to Humans, the planet can not keep up with its natural cleaning or recycling processes for keeping itself healthy.
Today we are talking to Black climate scientists about their experience working in climate science. #BiGWeek2021
@JhordanneJ "We tend to turn a blind eye when a tropical storm or hurricane de-intensifies or becomes a remnant, which is what impacted NY.
The moral of the story is that a hurricane is a rainmaker and smaller less intense storms can do major damage." #BiGWeek2021

@C_Poku93 "White scientists think that we don’t care. But we’ve got to a point where we as Black scientists need to start making our own conversations in the atmospheric sciences because we have the experience that they [white scientists] don’t." #BiGWeek2021
