Great to see work completed with @hl-ford.bsky.social, Chris Brierley and @charliejrwill.bsky.social getting a shout out! Had fun putting the paper together quantifying ocean heat content and its patterns under simulated Pliocene conditions and relevance for future 🌊🌊 #AGUPubs #Paleoclimate #Oceans

In Geophysical Research Letters, scientists use climate simulations aimed at recreating mid-Pliocene conditions to quantify global ocean heat content (OHC), or the total heat stored in the top 700 meters of global oceans.🌊 🔗 doi.org/10.1029/2025... #AGUPubs #Pliocene #Paleoclimate

Great work by @harryjgrosvenor.bsky.social looking at ocean heat content during the mid-Pliocene/Piacenzian warm period. Happy to have such awesome collegues @charliejrwill.bsky.social and Chris Brierley

I had breast cancer during COVID. My long awaited reconstruction surgery was abruptly cancelled this February. My surgeon lost their regular theatre booking to prioritize other surgeries. This is shameful.

Trump Is Attacking Climate Science. Scientists Are Fighting Back.

It’s easy, looking at the past year, to see the damage the administration has done. But researchers are also stepping up, trying to fill the gaps.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

A leading American research lab is slated to lose its critical supercomputing facility, according to a letter released Thursday by the National Science Foundation.

Greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...

From @AGU.org: Senators are working on legislation to save NCAR, but we need extra support for these 8 states. Your Senators in Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming need to hear from you.

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

Save NCAR from being dismantled today!

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

agu.quorum.us

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

NSF now planning to let POs largely decide what gets funded, and to send PIs reviews that are only 3-5 sentences long. They don't have to use outside reviewers (except maybe 1) and don't have to convene panels. (1/5)

NSF pares down grant-review process, reducing influence of outside scientists

Memo cites overburdened staff, but some say move also aims to elevate White House priorities

Not gonna lie. This e-bike has been life changing. And the dogs like it too.

I blinked several times reading this post. Then I read the article and blinked a million times more. Why is this allowed again? (This is a rhetorical question.)

A government shutdown stalls science, threaten jobs and weaken U.S. leadership. Call Congress today and tell them to to prevent RIFs, and work together to support science and end a government shutdown. 📲: agu.quorum.us/campaign/143...

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

The latest #TalesFromTheDeep episode on the StoryCorps Archive is from Carl Brenner, director of the U.S. Science Support Program for scientific ocean drilling. Take a listen to Carl's background -you might be surprised at what he majored in at college- and his leadership role in this community. 🌊⚒️

"What scientific ocean drilling has done for the nation and globally is yielded a staggering amount of information about Earth history"

@agu.org's own Elizabeth Landau is next up. “I am testifying on behalf of AGU and its scientists, who affirm that climate change, which is unequivocally driven by human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions, is endangering human health and welfare in the US and globally,” she said.
