What if the ocean current keeping Britain warm started to slow down? ☔ The AMOC acts like a giant conveyor belt, moving heat from the tropics to our shores. Models predict that the AMOC could slow down or collapse – potentially leading to new extremes in weather. 🧵1/2

Read on to find out about how we can understand the AMOC through boundary pressures. Part of the OceanBound project I've been working on with @andrewfstyles.bsky.social for the past few years, along with colleagues @liverpooluni.bsky.social 🌊

Today, the RRS Sir David Attenborough set sail from the UK 🚢 bound for Greenland as part of the GIANT project – an ambitious mission to study how rapidly melting fjord glaciers are affecting Atlantic currents, climate, and wider marine ecosystems. #ArcticResearch #ClimateScience 🧵1/4

A beautiful first morning at SAMS. Looking forward to spending the week here!

@cwhocean.bsky.social and I are at the Seafloor Pressure Data workshop at GEOMAR @geomarkiel.bsky.social. We're excited to hear about the latest research in geophysics and explore new applications of our OceanBound work.

Got bored tonight, so I downloaded 3 hours worth of Earthcam replay / archive footage from their Skydeck camera atop of the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago and made a time lapse of the fog rolling in off Lake Michigan. Good illustration of how our atmosphere behaves like any other fluid. #ilwx

Calling all oceanographers who like to think BIG 🌊🌍🌎🌏. I am excited to announce the very first Global Ocean Circulation and Connectivity (GOCC) meeting. The meeting will take place on Monday 7th September 2026 (the same week as the Challenger 2026 conference) at Bangor University. [1/3] 🧵🌊

Greenland’s glaciers are losing ice at an unprecedented pace 🇬🇱 The bad news: vast quantities of freshwater entering the North Atlantic could disrupt major ocean currents - changing ocean ecosystems and European climate. The good news: this GIANT collaboration is getting to the bottom of it, fast ⬇

Starting #OSM26 with a session on Atlantic Ocean connectivity. At the tail end of this session (09:43) I will be demonstrating how adjoint models can accurately quantify the drivers of basin-wide geostrophic transport in the Atlantic 🌊 eppro02.ativ.me/appinfo.php?...

Sunday registration and #OSM26 is already getting busy. Looks like it's going to be a lively week 🌊

📢 PhD opportunity! 🌊 “To collapse or not: the stability of the AMOC in a warming climate” Deadline: 8 Jan 2026 Work with Bristol, Liverpool & the Met Office on AMOC stability using observations, models & AI. Details: www.nercgw4plus.ac.uk/projects-202... Please share with anyone interested!

PhD Opportunity! 🚨 Working with Dr Pauline Tedesco on "Submesoscale ocean flows and processes in the Southern Ocean." NERC GW4+ DTP PhD studentship for September 2026. DEADLINE: 8th Jan 2026 Find out more - www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin... 🌊🌐🌍🦑🧪 #PhDsky #AcademicSky

I'm on my way to NOC, Southampton this morning. I'll be giving a seminar on the drivers of basin-wide geostrophic transport in the Atlantic (11:00). Using ECCO and adjoint modelling, we have isolated the fundamental forces and timescales behind geostrophic transport variability in the Atlantic. 🌊

If anybody is interested in (or knows someone interested in) doing a postdoc at Oxford on topics aligned with marine connectivity or oceanic forcing of coral reefs, I'm happy to discuss ideas and funding routes. One option is the 1851 Royal Commission fellowships (3 years, deadline Jan 2026)!

Looking forward to the Ocean Modelling SIG meeting which starts today at Liverpool. Always a highlight of my year!

Excited to share new research in the Journal of Geophysical Research:Oceans with @andyhogg.bsky.social, @navidcy.bsky.social, Ryan Holmes, and @hemant-khatri.bsky.social on how the North Atlantic Oscillation impacts the basin's subtropical and subpolar gyres: doi.org/10.1029/2024... 🌊

Today at #EGU25 I will be sharing a unique perspective on Atlantic variabilty. Boundary pressures can describe 90% of the basin-wide variability in transport. Using an adjoint model, I will reveal the drivers of this essential component of variabilty Room L3 at 16:55 Abstract: tinyurl.com/55mjscnp

Check out our latest paper, in @naturegeosci.bsky.social - led by the awesome Tasha Lucas...! New insights from autonomous robots into how megabergs impact the ocean and the life within it... @bas.ac.uk 🧪🌊🥼❄️ www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/u...

Underwater robotic gliders provide new insights into the impact of a melting megaberg - British Antarctic Survey

Scientists have collected measurements close to a giant iceberg, giving a window into the impact of meltwater on the surrounding Southern Ocean.
