At yesterday's opening ceremony, we shared a powerful video to unite us around one mission: safeguarding the ocean.

Watch now to see why science is key to our collective future.

Hey @OJ_Astro, I’m asking it here as you are active and this might interest more fedi fellows.

I’m preparing some papers about the carbon footprint in astronomy and discussing mitigation strategies. So far, we had a great support from @NatureAstronomy (eg @jknodlseder et al.), but I’m looking for alternative journals to publish this kind of work.

A&A doesn’t want to publish these papers, albeit it “publishes papers on all aspects of astronomy and astrophysics”. So, would you accept papers on astronomy’s environmental impact and send them to review ? I guess you might find many reviewers from the @a4e community.

Before you answer, I want to emphasize that astronomy is performed from the Earth (obviously). It can be studied only if our society are stable enough to fund fundamental science. However, the climate crisis is going to challenge this, so the only hope to continue astronomy over an endless period of time is to find a way to do low-carbon science. So, I’m convinced these research papers are needed to move towards sustainability.
Note that the papers could go to the method and instrumentation section of astro-ph.

Hi everyone,

I just arrived from astrodon.social, where I've been tooting since about three years.

I’m an astrophysicist working in the field of gamma-ray astronomy at IRAP (@cnrs) in Toulouse, France. Since a couple of years I work on assessing and reducing the environmental impact of scientific research, and in this context I’m engaged in @labos1point5 and @a4e.
I’m also doing local politics as city and community ​​councillor with a strong focus on environmental politics.

Dear all, we moved the Euclid Consortium account to mastodon.social since astrodon.social will shut down in the near future.

We want to warmly thank @sebinthestars for hosting us on astrodon for the past years!

Until the shutdown our content continues to be visible at https://astrodon.social/@ec_euclid
