NSF just announced its GRFP solicitation due in October - deadline varies by field: www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo... Now for the bad news... * NSF estimates they will issue 1,500 awards, down from 2,500+ last year. * NSF removed STEM Education and Learning Research as a Major Field.

NOAA launches the weather balloons, floats the ocean buoys, flies the satellites, and staffs the forecasters that tell us when storms are coming. That data supports about two-thirds of the economy, roughly $1.3 trillion a year, and it paid us back $73 for every dollar we spent on it.

As ocean temperatures rise, it’s difficult for many #corals to thrive, but naturally occurring, heat-resistant corals can survive in warmer waters theconversation.com/heat-resista...

Heat-resistant corals could help reefs adapt to climate change

The Earth has already experienced three mass coral bleaching events over the last few decades, with a fourth happening now. Researchers are trying to find ways to make corals more adaptable to heat.

In this new study published at @currentbiology.bsky.social , we show that, after the 2023–24 heatwave and SCTLD >75% of Caribbean reefs are now eroding faster than corals can rebuild them. authors.elsevier.com/a/1n2gh3QW8S...

In this story, we show that a threshold that earlier models suggested might be crossed over the next decade has already been reached... Over 70% Caribbean reefs are now losing calcium carbonate faster than corals can add it. Full paper at @currentbiology.bsky.social.... bit.ly/4etrTxt
