Our latest study on the reversal of extreme precipitation trend over the Northeast US in response to aggressive climate mitigation has been published in Environmental Research Letters (doi.org/10.1088/1748...). #OpenAccess via @ioppublishing.bsky.social @iopp-environment.bsky.social

Very excited to share the published form of our new #OpenAccess study: doi.org/10.1088/1748... (led by @bortingjong.bsky.social). Given significant increases in Northeast U.S. extreme precipitation trends, we then test responses to rapid greenhouse drawdowns using a 25-km resolution climate model.

We have our final @egu.eu @egubg.bsky.social webinar in this series next week, with speakers discussing their personal experiences and tips for getting postdoctoral grants, please sign up below ⬇️

My first paper had to be mailed to Stockholm, Sweden, and then mailed to reviewers around the world. Everything by mail! It was submitted, reviewed, revised, typeset, and published in 3 months. I feel bad for early-career scientists who can't find a single reviewer after 5 months. It's gotta change.

The IRI DL is a uniquely valuable resource for NOAA (and more) climate data. Over the last 27 years it had a huge impact (positive!) on my career. So long, and thanks for all the fish!

📣 The "U.S. Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters" data is back today through @climatecentral.org! And more soon! ➡️ Explore our new interactive website at www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv..., which is now updated through the first half of 2025 & totaling over $101 billion from 14 events.

Hello Bluesky! We’re the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Here you can follow our interdisciplinary research on land use, climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability, as well as project updates and events. Excited to share and connect here!💚🌎🌱

Scoop: The U.S. billion-dollar disaster database is set to return this fall over at @climatecentral.org. They've hired the former NOAA scientist who ran the project for 10+ years www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Researchers Are Resurrecting Billion-Dollar Disaster Tool Trump Killed

Nonprofit Climate Central has hired the scientist behind a key database of costly weather disasters to rebuild it.

🚨 At least 10 scientists, all cited in the Trump admin's new climate change report, told me that the report completely mischaracterizes their research. I also found five citations with significant errors, and a paragraph missing an important citation.

‘A Serious Misuse of My Research’: Climate Scientists Say New Trump Energy Report Botches Their Work

“Our work has no relevance,” an astrobiologist whose research was cited in the administration’s climate change report said.

universities have not yet been hit hard by the budget cuts because we're still running on grants awarded during the last administration. this really shows how badly universities will be hurt, starting next year, when grants start ending and there's nothing to replace them.

I'd like to introduce a new page on my website: U.S. climate indicator visuals (zacklabe.com/united-state...). I only have a few basic variables so far, but I will be expanding this summer to add a range of metrics (e.g., ecological). I welcome suggestions! Hope this is useful, especially nowadays.

I can't believe it's been two months. Somehow I forgot to share, I started as an assistant professor at @vuamsterdam.bsky.social working on climate extremes and connection to changes in the carbon cycle. I'm excited about the new opportunity to work on interdisciplinary science and teams.

Its discontinuation is another Trump-administration blow to the public’s view into how fossil fuel pollution is changing the world around them and making extreme weather more costly.

I keep saying this... both operationally and in research, the situation is still much worse than most people seem to realize or want to accept.

Welp…NSF will now suspend the awarding of new and existing research grants until further notice.

I'm looking forward to attending @egu.eu next week! I'll be presenting about the response of regional extreme rainfall in the Northeast US to rapid climate mitigation efforts. This is the last project I did at Princeton & NOAA GFDL. Hope to meet many new and familiar friends and colleagues! #EGU25

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/ @nwas.org: bit.ly/4cz2RtC

NEW: The Trump administration proposes nearly $1.7 billion in cuts to NOAA that, if passed, could decimate weather and climate research, including funding to nine California institutions. The @sfchronicle.com has obtained a White House document detailing the proposed budget cuts. Read it here:

'Five-alarm fire': Read the Trump proposal that could decimate climate research

NOAA grants provide funding to nine cooperative institutions in California. Several branches of the agency could lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

🚨 We must make it absolutely clear, to anyone who will listen, that this is unacceptable. You can't just censor life-saving and cost-saving research because the results are politically inconvenient for your wealthy donors!

Paul Voosen@voosen.me · last yr.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Yep, I still don't think people realize how dire the situation actually is internally...

NOAA just fired us, again 🤡 Retroactive to February 🤡

It has been hard to follow the developments in US (climate) science- thinking of the people affected and the science missed out on. The latest cuts end the NOAA GFDL/PrincetonUni program I personally worked in. It was fundamental in my career, breaks my heart 💔🌎. www.commerce.gov/news/press-r...

There have been many things going on in the US, but this has been by far the most difficult one to process personally, as someone who was a CIMES postdoc/scholar for 3.5 years — especially the scientifically incorrect reasons stated in the press release …

This administration continues to outdo itself by doing really really dumb things. Princeton has one of the best climate modeling groups in the world, and this administration just cut their funding justified with some anti-science bs.

We have a new preprint out, which looks at the nonlinear response of summertime heat extremes across the United States in a collection of overshoot scenarios using the 50-km GFDL SPEAR Large Ensemble: doi.org/10.31223/X5T... #OpenAccess Takeaway story: Mitigating earlier has even greater benefits!

Feels like we're doing something really wrong if we need a World Water Day but here we are. Here’s a reminder that 2.2 billion people have no access to safe water and half the world doesn’t have basic sanitation but yet rich countries flush their toilets with clean drinking water.

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week. "...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"
