There is much scope in combining Earth observations with Down-to-Earth observations of tracked #shorebirds. We developed a very satisfactory LAND USE INTENSITY metric based on @Sentinel1a explaining godwit distributions. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @ESA_EO @esa

We were able to show the value of both this new LAND USE INTENSITY metric as well as distribution of tagged godwits during hot dry summer of 2018, when much of what is now evergreen pasture turned brown. #climatechange #Dairy @RuthHowison @DairyCampus

Distribution of tagged black-tailed #godwits in early summer was better predictor of #drought damage than land use intensity. Interpretation: #grutto's select intact #soils with capillary connections with #groundwater. #meadowbirds #sentinels @WaderStudy

Hi shorebird folks! 1more4U2go! Migratory shorebirds connect. Movements, presence & phenotypes signal the state of habitats. Let's develop tracked individual migratory birds as sentinels (of connected parts) of Earth. #ornithology #globalchange @WaderStudy

Recently, 100 units of fossil energy produced 104 energy units of food, thanks soil-based processes. Now, 100 units fossil energy yield 16 food units, the 84% loss equals release of CO2 & active nitrogen threatening climate & biodiversity. #globalchange #dairy

Looking at scale of a country then, steep decline of specialized #dairy #farmland #wader, black-tailed #godwit (#grutto) in Netherlands signals growth of unsustainable, climate & biodiversity threatening, practices in agriculture. #globalchange @WaderStudy

I agree. And would add:

1. Elected officials need to support their citizens who are crying out for protection. @Heritage_Action Sentinels have been demanding mayors quell the violence, restore law & order, & support the police. Federal lawmakers need to back that up. Now.
2. Lawmakers need to go on offense legislatively w/ culture. @SenMikeLee rightly pointed out today that the revisionist history of the 1619 Project is being propped up by federal $$$. No more. No taxpayer dollars for any school district that adopts 1619 or Howard Zinn. Period.
3. Elected officials should be visible in their own neighborhoods this weekend. Conservatives need to take back the narrative of what it means to be a #ProudAmerican. Raise the flag, talk about our founding documents to your neighbors, and share your American story.
