Comin' out of my exoskeleton, and I've been doin' just fine. Ignore the screams. 🫣 Though they may be loud (and maybe creepy looking depending on who you ask), cicadas are not dangerous and can provide some environmental benefits including: 🗣️Serving as a valuable food source for birds and other predators 🗣️Aerating lawns and improving water filtration into the ground 🗣️Adding nutrients to the soil as they decompose Remember, no need to spray! Pesticides are generally ineffective in keeping cicadas away. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eJ96EDU5 📸: EPAer Jairus

Today, the United States Environmental Protection Agency released the Fifth Edition of Climate Change Indicators in the United States. The report highlights new data showing the continuing and far-reaching impacts of climate change on the people and environment of the United States. New to the report this year are an indicator on Marine Heat Waves (showing trends related to multi-day high ocean temperatures) and a feature on Heat-Related Workplace Deaths. The Fifth Edition presents highlights from a subset of EPA’s total of 57 indicators, which include historical data and observed trends related to either the causes or effects of climate change. The report explores the interconnected nature of observed changes in climate with chapters thematically organized around Greenhouse Gases, Heat on the Rise, Extreme Events, Water Resources at Risk, Changing Seasons, Ocean Impacts, Rising Seas, and Alaska’s Warming Climate. Since publishing the first edition in 2010, EPA has maintained an up-to-date online resource of climate change indicators and regularly released updated publications that present the latest data. EPA partners with more than 50 data contributors from various U.S. and international government agencies, academic institutions, and other organizations to compile these key indicators of climate change. EPA’s indicators show multiple lines of compelling evidence that climate change is increasingly affecting people’s health, society, and ecosystems in numerous ways. Read the report: https://lnkd.in/eHR96mdV Explore all 57 climate change indicators: https://lnkd.in/d_RE88X

Sometimes Great Lakes science is done in very unusual conditions, like a mayfly hatch on #LakeErie! EPA and University of Minnesota-Duluth co-operate the Great Lakes Sediment Surveillance Program, which monitors the spatial distribution and temporal trends of persistent, bioaccumulative, and/or toxic chemicals in sediments of the Great Lakes. To make the research vessel #LakeGuardian a less attractive destination for the mayflies and keep them from landing in the sediment samples being collected, scientists from University of Minnesota-Duluth and EPA worked under red light. Although a bit of a nuisance, mayfly hatches are also indicators of Lake Erie’s health because mayfly populations provide a valuable food source for fish and birds. Fun fact: Mayfly swarms can appear as rainstorms on Doppler radar!
