fivethirtyeight article about the reproducibility of published results Main points: Having scientists bet of whether they think a study is reproducible has shown success at finding which studies have results that are less likely to be reproduced “If you believe the result will be replicated, you buy the contract, which increases the price. If you […]
I heard this story on KUNC in early June. It is a great piece if you ever want to forward someone an easy to understand explanation of ozone in Colorado. http://www.kunc.org/post/whos-making-ozone-cu-analysis-says-its-hard-pin-down

I am fascinated with the dynamic relationship between humans and wildfires. The following is a growing list of papers relevant to this topic. References Agee, J. K., and C. N. Skinner (2005), Basic principles of forest fuel reduction treatments, Forest Ecol Manag, 211(1-2), 83-96. Ager, A. A., N. M. Vaillant, and M. A. Finney (2010), A […]
The EPA is interested in quantifying what future particulate matter (PM) concentrations might be in the future. In the U.S. intermountain west both extreme PM events and background PM concentrations are closely linked to wildfire activity. Once you start digging through fire science or air quality literature you don’t get far before someone mentions the expectation […]
This morning I was browsing R-bloggers and found a post too cool not to share. R now has the same notebook feature that has been so popular with python developers. The link below shows one of these notebooks in action. This particular notebook demonstrates code that makes some really nice interactive plots. It would be […]
This does the best job I have ever seen of teaching programming and mathematic material side by side. All chapters are available online for free at the following link. I found this link reading Dan Mirman’s recent post on R-bloggers.com. How to learn R: A flow chart Time series analysis
What is do be done with EPA monitoring data? Is is possible to learning something about background ozone levels and its relationship to wildfires?
