The Arctic's permafrost stores large quantities of organic carbon. Researchers from the AWI and @marumunibremen.bsky.social have shown that large quantities of this carbon, released by thawing permafrost and coastal erosion, are permanently buried in seafloor sediments. www.awi.de/en/about-us/...

The Arctic Ocean keeps permafrost carbon firmly locked

Permafrost in the Arctic stores large quantities of organic carbon. When the frozen ground thaws or coastal sections erode, this carbon can enter the sea, where microorganisms can break it down and co...

🥵 Heat domes! What exactly are they? In this timely new paper led by Paul Loikith, we provide a quantitative definition based on circulation and surface temperatures and present their climatology. Figure ⬇️ shows proportion of extreme heat events associated with a heat dome doi.org/10.1016/j.wa...

We didn't previously integrate wildfire-smoke costs into the supposed cost of climate change for the US, and it turns out to be bigger than all those other costs combined. Oops! Gosh I wonder if we're underestimating anything else. Probably shoulda done something about this. Ah well.

What Worries Me Most About This Wildfire Smoke

We didn’t know days like this could happen. Then we learned how bad they really are.

The president is a liar. He lies constantly & without hesitation. His lies about American elections are among his most dangerous b/c they are meant to convince a susceptible public that democratic outcomes cannot be trusted. They are antidemocratic lies in service of holding onto power. He’s a liar!

Canadian AQI model has joined the U.S. models in predicting potentially record-breaking smoke levels Wed-Fri in the Great Lakes. A bad look for the Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Toronto metro areas. The EPA site to judge records is down, not removed, as I incorrectly stated before.

250 years of burning fossil fuels fuelled a record shattering humid heatwave in Eastern North America for the 250th anniversary celebrations on 4th of July. Turning any outdoor activities into a dangerous health risk. - @wwattribution.bsky.social www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuels...

Another week, another update to the abysmal National Science Foundation funding numbers for geoscience. Total of 164 geo grants awarded this year, 25.6% of the pre-Trump average. source: grant-witness.us/funding_curv...

In another fine move, Russ Vought and the Trump Admin have decided to steal a billion dollars in funding earmarked to basic science research and give it to hedge funds to try out half-baked AI ideas. Cool.

Exclusive: The National Science Foundation is trimming this year’s budgets for hundreds of its traditional basic science programs by roughly 20% to 30%, even though its overall budget is down just 3%. https://scim.ag/4xY2KCm

NSF's grantmaking is miserly when compared to recent years, but when compared it to the historical record, we see it's a radical break from the long-term consensus of investing in scientific innovation. grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... #NSF 🧪

Throttling of science funding is utterly unprecedented and radical when compared to the past 50 years.

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

It's the End of American Science As We Know It

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

🚨New paper alert! Former UMaine M.S. student, Jill Herlinger (now at Northwestern), led a brilliant paper that utilizes Mg/Ca and δ¹⁸O on foraminiferal calcite in the Gulf of Maine to show that that the Laurentide Ice Sheet was melting and retreating like crazy during Heinrich Stadial 1... 1/

Another for instance! Down in Queensland, Australia, fossil gas used to provide all the peak power. Then batteries start nibbling at it. Then chomping on it. And now they've basically eaten it all up. No more gas. Look at this graphic! Glorious. reneweconomy.com.au/big-batterie...

Rainfall intensity matters as much as how much rain falls. New in Nature: Corey Lesk and I show that daily-scale concentration of precipitation dries the land over the long-run, an effect as strong as total precipitation is climatological wetting. Paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

More concentrated precipitation decreases terrestrial water storage - Nature

Concentration of precipitation in large events decreases land water availability, and this effect will further increase with a future warming climate.

A record-setting marine heat wave has formed off Southern California, and the next few weeks may determine whether it fades or deepens into summer.

And if you have not been accepted, understand that this is a VERY weird time for grad admissions. Lack of acceptance may not be due to YOU, but due to uncontrollable factors at the university. Keep trying in the future.

Stoked to contribute to this excellent work by Chandranath et al. reconstructing the circulation history of the deep South Pacific across the MPT. When accounting for endmember Nd isotope change, the records point toward Southern Ocean processes as initiating the MPT 👀👀
