🚨New Paper! Led by Joey Bisits, with @janzika.bsky.social, we explore the drivers of cabelling instability in the ocean using a first-of-its-kind turbulence-resolving simulation. See here for energy budgets, diffusion calcs and pretty pictures using Oceananigans: doi.org/10.1017/jfm....

Excited to have been given the opportunity to explain my research to a national audience on ABC Radio National Breakfast. The 5.30 AM wake up was worth it!

Strongest ocean current set to slow as ice sheets melt - ABC listen

The world's strongest ocean current could be about to slow down, as melting ice sheets see an influx of fresh water dumped into the Southern Ocean.

Hear Dr @taimoorsohail.bsky.social discuss this important work on Australia's ABC Radio National. So good for people across our nation to hear about this finding and the risks associated - nice job Taimoor! 🌊 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Antarctic melt may slow the world's largest ocean current - "far-reaching impacts on global climate patterns, oceanic heat distribution, and marine ecosystems”. More important work from @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social colleagues led by @taimoorsohail.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New research out today with colleagues Bishakhdatta Gayen and Andreas Klocker projects that the world’s strongest current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, may slow by 20% by 2050 in a high emissions future. So happy to have this out for the world to read! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Earth’s strongest ocean current could slow down by 20% by 2050 in a high emissions future

Melting Antarctic ice is releasing cold, fresh water into the ocean, which is projected to cause the slowdown

Great piece by @taimoorsohail.bsky.social et al in The Conversation about the findings of their latest paper that just got out at Environmental Research Letters (doi.org/10.1088/1748...) regarding the biggest ocean current of all. 🌊 theconversation.com/melting-anta...

Melting Antarctic ice will slow the world’s strongest ocean current – and the global consequences are profound

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current down 20% by 2050.

This 👇🏼 is open for another 6 days! 🌊 🌏 Not sure if this is for you? Want to find more about the project? Are you on the fence? Do reach out..! 😊 We'll be using a new ocean model: github.com/CliMA/Oceana... github.com/CliMA/ClimaO... and collaborate with CliMA (clima.caltech.edu).

Exciting Postdoc Opportunity! 🌟🌊🌏 Research fellow position at University of Melbourne to study the ocean's role in climate variability. You'll be working with myself, @nicolamaher.bsky.social and @andyhogg.bsky.social and also interacting with the ocean team from CliMA. bit.ly/4fmIFv4

After many years of long discussions, our paper on the new inverse method we call the Optimal Transformation Method (OTM) is finally out! With OTM, we can infer global ocean heat/freshwater transports, correct air-sea flux products, and more! Led by @janzika.bsky.social! doi.org/10.5194/gmd-...

An optimal transformation method for inferring ocean tracer sources and sinks

Abstract. The geography of changes in the fluxes of heat, carbon, freshwater and other tracers at the sea surface is highly uncertain and is critical to our understanding of climate change and its imp...

Hello Bluesky! My new paper with Ryan Holmes is out now in JPO: using a new method to analyse time-varying processes' contributions to ocean heat transport. We found some interesting results associated with vertical mixing variability. Read it here: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

Really proud of this work, which went from an idea back in August 2022, to a published piece this week! With co-authors Damien Irving, @janzika.bsky.social, and Jonathan Gregory, we explored the reduced impact of aerosols on our climate system: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Love how Government (& universities) in Australia crow about the amount of funding & number of grants they provide for "world-class research". But these are tiiiiiny numbers! Basically 50 people working for 2–3 years. Peanuts🥜 More like "world-class underfunding, normalised".

Great! Zenodo is down just as I'm finalising a manuscript revision. Seems like it's been down for a few days now so not sure when I'll get this submission in!

Sad it took the High Court intervention to do this, but so so happy the inhumane detention system is being dismantled www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11...

Disgraceful that it took this long, but what a welcome result.

It's harder to get funding for basic research projects than ever before in Australia. The @arc_gov_au Discovery Projects scheme now has the lowest “success rate” ever: 16.3%. Only 1 in 6 grants are funded. Why? The funding available has plummeted. Please help, Jason Clare MP❗️
