The Department of Earth System Science (ESS) at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position focused on the predictive understanding of changing hydrological and climate extremes. These extremes are unusual events that inflict disproportionate damage to ecosystems and society including floods, droughts, heat waves, cold extremes, hurricanes, atmospheric rivers, wildfires, and intense air pollution episodes. Identifying the contribution of climate change to the frequency, intensity and behavior of individual events, as well as the aggregated statistics of multiple events, is a field of science that is increasingly shaping the public's perception of climate change. We welcome applications from researchers who are using a range of approaches, including observational analysis, dynamical theory, machine learning, statistical modeling, and dynamical and fully coupled Earth system models to study changing hydrological and climate extremes, with an emphasis on creating new knowledge about the basic mechanisms that will enable a predictive understanding of these phenomena and their impacts on human and natural systems. UC Irvine's ESS department was founded to explore the global environmental changes that occur on human time scales. The department has 24 full time faculty from diverse backgrounds (http://www.ess.uci.edu/). The successful applicant will have a strong research agenda, a commitment to excellence in teaching and in promoting diversity and inclusion in a collegial, cross-disciplinary department.

General: IAWF Statement Regarding Climate Change Week at the United Nations, September 23 – 29, 2019 (posted Sep 24, 2019)
Text of the International Association of Wildland Fire (IAWF) statement:
Climate change has already had significant consequences in the global wildfire reality, affecting citizens as well as the global wildland fire community. Many key issues of importance to the IAWF - including firefighter and civilian safety, fire management expenses, changing weather patterns, natural role of fire, fire regimes and ecosystem succession, as well as the wildland urban interface - all require recognition of the role of climate change.
Globally, we regularly see new reports about the "worst", "largest", "most expensive", and "deadliest" fires and fire seasons. In 2019 and 2018, striking headlines read "Arctic on Fire" (Sweden, Russia, Greenland, Canada and Alaska), and the most expensive and largest fire years were recorded in 2018 in California and British Columbia, respectively, breaking the previous records set in 2017. The Camp Fire (CA, 2018), Attica Greece (2018), Black Saturday Australia (2009), and Portugal (2017) fires were all ranked amongst the top 11 deadliest fires in the last 100 years.
Under current climate change scenarios, fire regimes will change in terms of increases in burned area, severity, fire season length, frequency, and ignitions from lightning. Many parts of the world have already experienced an increase in record breaking temperatures and recurring droughts that have led to shifts in wildland fire. There is already evidence of climate-driven fire regime change in the Northern Hemisphere upper latitudes with fire risk increasing in non-traditional fire-prone countries. The consequences of human actions are here today, not in some distant future, and these are alarming and, most important, escalating.
The IAWF encourages all countries to emphasize increased international fire training and to implement easier cross-border sharing of professional fire management resources for suppression and prescribed fire opportunities. These will lessen the irrationally heavy burden any single country will have to carry to manage extreme fire seasons. Homes and communities must be better planned and built, so they are increasingly fire resistant and more adapted to natural disasters of all types. Health impacts of fires have long-term consequences, not only those that are immediate from the flames but also those from smoke and toxins, and these must be considered when planning and managing for future wildland fires. Wildfires and smoke do not recognize borders. As the global community tries to manage the new wildfire challenges, it is incumbent on everyone to prepare to support international neighbours in protecting lives and communities from fires and their impacts.
IAWF Vice-President Toddi Steelman recently said in Wildfire magazine (August 2019) that "Recent extreme weather events have catalysed public belief in, and concern about, climate change, and boosted public support for government actions to reduce its harmful impacts. This gives us a window of opportunity when conditions are right to make great strides on climate if we are strategic about it." This window of opportunity requires people having the knowledge and political will to act now. Our global scientific community needs to publicly share knowledge learned about patterns of extreme wildland fire and weather, as well as how climate change is associated with these patterns. Our global fire management community needs to leverage its credibility to share its experiences about how climate change and its role in extreme weather is playing out in their day to day work environments. Connecting extreme weather events to real on-the-ground consequences can help more people understand how climate impacts are affecting us all.

Attention Wet 'n Wild Fans! SPOTTED at Walgreens: Wet 'n Wild "The Perfect Couple" Nailpolish Duos8:05 PM
For those of you who love Wet 'n Wild, especially their polishes, I saw this display at Walgreens today. This was in two locations (both end-caps) at my store. The set is called "The Perfect Couple" and includes one of the new Fast Dry Nailpolishes and a Fast Dry Top Coat: both for $1.99!
I don't know about you - but that's a fantastic deal! There was quite the variety of colors to choose from - it looked to me like they were all from the core line, but a couple looked like shades from the Mermaid Cove, but I didn't look hard enough.
Have you seen these yet?

GOP frets Mark Sanford could blow it
Mark Sanford won over primary voters Tuesday night, but national Republicans aren't celebrating: Many privately concede the former governor could hand a safe Republican seat to Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
The affair that sent Sanford's political career off the rails only begins to describe his baggage.
Story Continued Below
Fellow GOP pols don't like him. Neither do female voters. His campaign is largely an exercise in seeking forgiveness for his transgressions four years ago — a defensive crouch that makes it tricky to take the fight to Colbert Busch, the sister of late-night comedian Stephen Colbert.
( Also on POLITICO: S anford wins, to face Colbert Busch next)
Sanford's liabilities could force outside groups to spend precious resources doing his dirty work — all to salvage a district that Mitt Romney won by 18 points.
The concern among national Republicans that Colbert Busch could steal the 1st Congressional District seat is so real that they're prepared to do whatever it takes to shepherd the former Republican governor to victory — including dumping cash into the race, sources told POLITICO. But Sanford forces will have a hard time overwhelming Colbert Busch in the competition for dollars: Her brother is going all out to raise cash for his older sister.
"This race is by no means a slam dunk for Republicans," said one national GOP official. "If anyone says they know how this race is going to play out, they're kidding themselves."
( PHOTOS: Mark Sanford's career)
Operatives from both parties agree the race is Sanford's to lose. The district is solid Republican territory and Sanford, despite his flaws, is a gifted retail politician who is universally known. While Colbert Busch's campaign wasted no time Tuesday night calling Sanford untrustworthy and anti-woman, Sanford framed the general election as a clash of ideologies between a small government conservative and a pro-union liberal.
Still, polling already shows him in a neck-and-neck battle and the warning signs for Sanford — who needed two elections to secure the GOP nomination despite running against a field of relative unknowns — can't be glossed over:
• Not a single member of the South Carolina congressional delegation has endorsed Sanford, an indication of his weak standing among his would-be Washington colleagues. Two House Republicans backed one of Sanford's GOP primary rivals. GOP leaders are grappling with how to get the delegation on board now that he defeated former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic in the runoff.
( Also on POLITICO: Poll: Sanford, Colbert Busch neck and neck)
Particular attention will be paid to popular Sen. Tim Scott, whose appointment to the Senate triggered the race for his House seat. Scott has stayed out of the race, but national Republicans will want him to endorse Sanford.
In 2009, though, Scott, then a state representative, signed a letter calling on Sanford to resign. The ex-governor opted to serve out his term.
Sanford's actions "reveal[ed] a pattern of poor decision making and questionable leadership," read the letter. "Unless major changes are made, South Carolina will find itself perpetually sidetracked by the disarray that you have brought upon our state."

It's an exam night, friends, so this post is going to be short and sweet. But I could not resist sharing my new favorite, high-raw granola recipe, inspired by the beet granola I had at Superfoods Bar in NOLA last week! The beautiful hue says it all: this granola recipe is not only delicious and packed with nutrition, but it also makes use of one of my favorite vegetables, beets, for sweetness and color. Though I'd never have thought to put beets in a granola recipe, I've also never shied away from odd and unexpected food combinations (chocolate avocado breakfast salad, anyone?) so I supose it shouldn't surprise me that I love the way this recipe turned out.
Here's how to do it:
High Raw Beet and Hemp Granola (high-raw, vegan, gluten free, soy free)

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1/3 cup goldenberries (substitute raisins or cranberries if they're easier to find)
1 medium to large beet, roasted, steamed, or raw (if you don't have a high speed blender, I would use roasted or steamed) and chopped
6 large, pitted medjool dates, soaked for four hours or more and drained
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1) Blend the beet, dates, water, oil, cinnamon, and salt in a blender till smooth.
2) Mix the oats, seeds, and goldenberries. Pour beet and date mixture over them.
3) Line a dehydrator sheet with Teflex or a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread with granola.
You can either:
a. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes, or until browning but not burning.
b. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for about 6-8 hours, or until totally dry and crispy
Serve over fresh berries with almond milk, or over sliced banana, or over a smoothie, or as a snack, or…however you want!
Some nice bonuses of this recipe":
1) Absolutely no refined sugar, and no agave for those of you who avoid it. Nothing but dates and beets (and you can reduce the dates if you want, though this version is fairly moderate on sweetness).
2) Heart healthy Omega-3 fatty acids from the hemp seeds, which balance the Omega-6s in the sunflower seeds. Protein and satiation fat from both.
3) Incredible antioxidant power from the goldenberries.
4) Soluble fiber from the rolled oats, which may help to ease digestion.
If you want to make this all raw, you can use dehydrated buckwheat instead of the oats. But they certainly are a great "quick fix" for those who don't have buckwheat to soak!
This may be the loveliest looking granola I've ever made.
I hope you all find a chance to make this recipe soon. There's nothing I love so much as when I can sneak a beloved vegetable into an unexpected recipe, and this is the perfect example! I was so inspired, in fact, that I suspect you'll be seeing more beet sneak attack recipes very soon…

American photographer Sandy Skoglund creates brightly colored fantasy images.
She builds elaborate sets, filled with props, figurines, and human models, which she then photographs. In her work, Skoglund explores the aesthetics of artificiality and the effects of interrupting common reality. Each element of her constructed scenes, taken individually, is familiar and unremarkable. The juxtapositions she creates among the parts, however, are surprising, strange, and new. Her oeuvre includes photographs of a room full of "radioactive" green cats, a forest of humanoid trees visited by actual people and human sculptures, and a hillside populated by adult-sized babies. The images are uncanny, visually arresting, and often quite humorous.
While many of Skoglund's images have a dreamlike quality, Revenge of the Goldfish, in particular, emphasizes this aspect of her work. The composition is centered around a bedroom. A child sits, awake, on the edge of a bed where an adult sleeps. The monochrome uniformity of the blue-green room and furniture plays on the idea of the whole scene as an aquarium. The detail, variety, and bright orange color of the 120 goldfish make them the most vivid part of the image. This is ironic as they are also the most irrational part. In preparation for taking this photograph, Skoglund sculpted each of the fish in terracotta. While goldfish are hardly dangerous animals, the title transforms what is already a mysterious scenario into something vaguely threatening.
