#ENS is gorgeous, and even comes with a #cat wandering into lectures!

Last day of a great workshop at #IHP, great to catch up with @dmarshallocean.bsky.social and Stephen 😎

Come to Sweden! We are kicking off the new Swedish research school in Polar Science this summer, and under that umbrella there are currently a number of PhD positions announced (more on the way). Read more, and apply, here: www.gu.se/en/seal/appl... Shares = eternal karma 🌊

Apply for a doctoral position at the SEAL polar research school

Doctoral positions are now available at the national polar research school SEAL - School of Excellence in Arctic and Antarctic Learning. The research school is funded by the Swedish Research Council a...

In July, I will be teaching in Shanghai at SJTU for their UN Sustainable Development Goals summer school. 9 summer courses are available suitable for any interested students. I will co-teach "The marine carbon pump jigsaw: science, sustainability and management" global.sjtu.edu.cn/en/study-sjt...

Dmitri (who might be @tymoczko.bsky.social) is the author of a couple of books, "A Geometry of Music" and "Tonality: A User's Manual." His web site is full of apps and other goodies. dmitri.mycpanel.princeton.edu/index.html

“Khajit has the shoe if you have the coin” 😾💰

Hey astrophysicists, a presence (absence) of KH billows in some astrophysical shear flow doesn't always imply a lower (upper) bound on the local magnetic field strength! See arxiv.org/abs/2510.031...

Nonmodal growth and optimal perturbations in magnetohydrodynamic shear flows

In astrophysical shear flows, the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability is generally suppressed by magnetic tension provided a sufficiently strong streamwise magnetic field. This is often used to infer up...

AI models have transformed weather prediction in recent years. New research might help scientists understand how these models are doing it.

Minor upsides to insomnia (and some minor coding wins at 5am...) #zzz

Been thinking about forced convection a bunch and can only recommend Chaos for being both kind to my junior and shockingly quick about it. pubs.aip.org/aip/cha/arti...

An extension of the 3D Lorenz model under the Gay–Lussac approximation

In this work, we explore a class of extensions to the 3D Lorenz (3DL) system by considering an alternative incompressible natural convection model. Famously, th
