I want to talk a little bit about this new Science paper led by star student Caroline Needle, Catherine Walker and myself. The idea goes back to this controversial new idea called the marine ice cliff instability. @whoi.edu @umich.edu

Empirical constraints on ice cliff calving

When calving cliffs at the margins of Earth’s ice sheets exceed a critical height, runaway retreat may be initiated in a process called the marine ice cliff instability. However, sufficiently tall ice...

Scientists found evidence for wildfires that burned only around 560 miles from the South Pole 90 million years ago, making them the southernmost fires ever documented. eos.org/articles/wil...

Wildfires Burned in Antarctica 90 Million Years Ago - Eos

A new study finds evidence for the southernmost wildfires currently known, which may have facilitated a transition from temperate rainforest to peatland in Antarctica.

Last month saw a very large temperature anomaly gradient between the Weddell Sea region and West #Antarctica. In fact, this was one of the very few places anywhere on the globe with colder than average temperatures in August, especially compared to older baselines (e.g., 1951-1980). Data from ERA5.

If you haven't been masking, give it a try. What do you have to lose? Just wear one in crowds and on planes, trains, and buses. Find a style that fits, so you don't futz with it. You don't have to get sick all the time.

High temperatures and low precipitation in the American West last winter led to record-low snowpack. A study finds that such a snow drought is 4.4 times more likely in the current climate than it would have been in the pre-industrial climate. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/LKKh50ZtquX

HI HELLO. Mitch McConnell and Tom Kean got longer medical leaves (with literally zero transparency and fully funded healthcare) than I, and most women get after having a baby…including having a baby via major surgery 💁🏻‍♀️

A possibly worthwhile point of clarification: the 'models' discussed here are statistical fits to the last ~100 years of data (from NOAA Atlas 14). This is inevitably backwards looking and will be an underestimate of current probabilities of rainfall intensity in a changing climate.

The White House today announced it plans to make major changes in how the U.S. government manages research funding. https://scim.ag/43HgW4s

Sweeping proposed rule, now open for comments, would also restrict foreign collaborations and remove federal funding for open-access fees

Scoop: NSF has been quietly blocking new funds and grants to four top universities: Duke, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. Dozens of proposals from PIs at these universities—and their collaborators—have been stuck at the Office of Award Management awaiting finalization for months.
