Although written with some irony, this article so captures the commodification of scientific publishing in the last few years. It sometimes feels like a publications arms race, not in a good way www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Introducing the j-metric: a true measure of what matters in academia

Science has become obsessed with publishing numbers. With this new satirical proposal, have we reached peak metric?

Finally out! The outcome of a virtual workshop in Feb 2024 with modelers and observationalists to put together data and protocols to include historical changes in ice sheet/ice shelf discharge in CMIP models. Hopefully not too late for some CMIP7 runs! gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Datasets and protocols for including anomalous freshwater from melting ice sheets in climate simulations

Abstract. Anomalous freshwater fluxes from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves are impacting the surrounding oceans, and we need to be able to account for these effects in climate m...

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Looks like staying below 1.5 degs warming is in the rear view mirror. Let's hope that 2 degs doesn't end up the same.
