As a reminder, @agu.org abstracts are due Wed., 5 August. If your research relates to coastal climate change, we hope you'll submit an abstract to our interdisciplinary session on "Dynamic Coastlines amidst Changing Sea Levels." Please also consider sharing this post to help us get the word out!

Jennifer Walker, Isabel Hong, and I will once again be convening our "Dynamic Coastlines Amidst Changing Sea Levels" session at the 2026 @agu.org meeting. If you work in the coastal climate change space, we hope you'll consider submitting an abstract to the session! agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/pr...

Reposting: if you're a coastal climate scientist attending the 2026 @agu.org fall meeting, we hope you'll submit an abstract to our session on Dynamic Coastlines! We've has great conversations in years past at this session, and look forward to more exciting science in San Francisco this year!

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 @agu.org Chapman Conference on Updating Usable Projections of Future Sea Level in Montreal last week was a great meeting! I was glad to be able to attend, share a talk on my work looking at the evolution of global sea level projections, and hear from so many other talented experts in the field.

Had a great week at the International Summer School organized in Venice last week! It was the perfect place for discussions on coastal climate change. I delivered a keynote lecture focused on my work with sea level projections, and had great conversations with the other participants.

Cuts to federal science funding means we’ll be more vulnerable to hurricanes and nor’easters here in the Mid-Atlantic.

When we cut critical Federal funds for science, we all pay the price. The impacts of this loss of scientific innovation will be felt especially acutely in our coastal communities. Check out my latest op-ed, published today in The Philadelphia Inquirer, to learn more! share.inquirer.com/iC6tHv

If allowed to go through, this will be catastrophic for science in the U.S., and by extension, the global community, given the vital role that the U.S. has played in the scientific community for decades.

Cuts to science funding will create a flood of challenges in our coastal communities | Opinion

Progress toward supporting safer, more affordable coastal communities in the face of climate change is at risk from a storm of cuts to U.S. scientific funding.

My colleague, environmental scientist @andrajgarner.bsky.social, has a paper out about the variability and inconsistency of spring weather being a climate change concern. Tomorrow the forecast calls for a 40° change in temperature. (Never mind a third consecutive day of 90+ in May.)

Today, the University of Maine's Vice Chancellor for Finance and Strategic AI Integration (who made $243,000 last year) sent UMaine campuses an announcement that we have partnered with OpenAI with a contract for ChatGPT Edu. I sent him the following questions:

Excited to share our latest work, published today in Eos! The U.S. has led and helped to fund about a third of all global sea level projections ever produced. Now, attacks on science in the U.S. have left the field at a precipice.

U.S. scientists and federal funding have been key contributors to global scientific sea level projection research. Those roles are now threatened, write @andrajgarner.bsky.social, @bobkopp.net, @gggarner121.bsky.social, Aimée B. A. Slangen, and Benjamin P. Horton. eos.org/opinions/the...

Excited to see our paper on springtime temperature variability get some coverage from @bloomberg.com! I was glad to contribute to this piece by @eroston.bsky.social

Story ideas come from weird places. Last month I turned on the AC 2 days after running the heat. Then 2 days later the AC was off and the heat on. This prompted the q: "Is this normal?" The answer: "I mean, what is normal anymore?" A jv with @emmarcourt.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Had a great time hosting "Chasing Ice" with students in my sea level course @rowancsm.bsky.social's Edelman Planetarium last night! We had a fantastic turnout, and the students did a great job discussing sea level rise impacts with our audience after the show!

Glad to provide comments for a piece in Le Monde newspaper discussing a new study about sea level adaptation pathways in Venice! This type of flexible adaptation pathway will be vital as our coastal communities look to become more resilient in an uncertain future. www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

As I've watched temperatures push toward the 90s this week in New Jersey, but see the forecast lows that will threaten a freeze by early next week, it brings to mind the paper that my colleague Dan Duran and I published two years ago. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

My resignation letter

This past week, I was in Washington, D.C., where I had the opportunity to join colleagues from @agu.org for visits to our legislative offices. Together, we advocated for continued support of Earth and space science. It was a busy week, but very energizing!

It's been a busy few weeks of travel, starting with the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Glasgow, Scotland! We had lots of excellent talks and posters in the sessions we convened on Dynamic Coastlines in a Changing Climate. It was great to hear more about the exciting work being done in this area! #OSM2026

Coming up at 2:00 pm at #OSM2026! We hope you'll join us for our session on Dynamic Coastlines Amidst Changing Sea Levels: Advancements in Understanding the Impacts of Climate Change on Coastal Hazards!

We had a great turn out at our Dynamic Coastlines poster session this afternoon! Looking forward to some excellent talks in our session tomorrow. If you're at #OSM2026, we hope you'll join us from 2:00-3:30 for more discussions on coastal climate impacts!

Hey #OSM2026! We hope you'll stop by the first of our "Dynamic Coastlines" sessions this afternoon in the poster hall. We're roughly between boards 815-863. Hope to see you there to talk about coastal climate change impacts!

Just out: new New Jersey state sea-level rise assessment Under current global emissions trends, New Jersey is likely to experience 1.5-2.5 ft of sea-level rise between 2005 and 2070, 2.2-3.8 ft by 2100 (or 2.2-4.5 ft, considering potential ice-sheet collapse).
