Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

New paper out in @pnas.org: this year’s western U.S. snow conditions were pretty dismal, but to what extent was this snow drought due to climate change?  Paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (with Marianne Cowherd, Stefan Rahimi, Yuhong Ye) Thread:👇

With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....

I'm excited to share that I'll be joining the @csuatmossci.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor in Jan. 2027. Interested in research on the physics and dynamics of Earth's climate? Please reach out!

Been wondering why NSF isn't spending most of its FY26 appropriation? A $1.5B tech initiative may be the reason. And big cuts to hundreds of research programs could be just the beginning of the bad news. www.science.org/content/arti...

Exclusive: NSF slashes research programs to support new tech initiative, insiders say

Unexpected shift in funds has meant sharp drop in grants this fiscal year

The Administration's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a proposed rule that would politicize federal science grantmaking, replacing scientific rigor with ideological gatekeeping. AGU President Brandon Jones on why it's important to make your voices heard: spklr.io/6011E3zfZ

A balanced take on a nuanced subject, providing a clear summary of the current state of AMOC research and many of the discussions from a workshop in the UK last week. The idea of a more resilient AMOC is consistent with some of our theoretical work on future AMOC changes: rdcu.be/eoqVt

Observational constraints imply limited future Atlantic meridional overturning circulation weakening

Nature Geoscience - Observational constraints, along with a better understanding of climate model behaviour, suggest that the projected weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation...

It's out. My latest feature for @science.org, from aboard the RRS Discovery: a deep look at the past, present, and future of AMOC, told through the RAPID program. AMOC is weakening -- maybe, probably. But it also may be more resilient than some have made it seem.

Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear.

Using an idealized climate model, scientists show that the spatial distribution and orientation of land strongly shapes Earth's response to increased atmosphere carbon dioxide concentrations. Learn more: doi.org/10.1029/2025... #AGUPubs #Geomorphology #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateModels
