New study: Intense rainfall - like the deluge behind Brazil’s recent fatal landslides - will intensify as the planet continues to warm. Over 70 were killed in the state of Minas Gerais in late February with Juiz de Fora - the worst impacted city - seeing its wettest month on record. 🧵 1/4
Ocean friends going to the @agu.org’s #OSM2026: join us on Tuesday 12:45-13:45 for a Town Hall to update the community on the IPCC 7th Assessment Cycle, featuring a panel of AR7 authors 💡 @goneri76.bsky.social @aromanou.bsky.social @rrrocean.bsky.social @jbsallee.bsky.social @lijingcheng.bsky.social
When they announced that #COP30 would be in Belém and all the logistical problems that followed, I was convinced it was a bad idea... On 09/11 flying to Belém, the plane was packed with foreigners talking and laughing... as we approached landing, we could see the forest, silence took over...
On the opening day of #COP30 here in Brazil, we will be launching this year’s “10 New Insights in Climate Science” @futureearth.bsky.social , The Earth League & @wcrpclimate.bsky.social If you are attending COP30 in person, please reach out (agenda in the comments) 10insightsclimate.science
This is another webinar organised by @wcrp-clivar.bsky.social Marine Heatwaves Research Focus 🌡️ We will have two fantastic talks by Dr. Amandine Schaeffer & Dr. Neil Malan, followed by a Q&A session 🌡️ Please take a look at the details below on how to register 🌡️ August 25 2025, 23:00 UTC 🌊
Our recent paper @natgeosci.nature.com shows that over the Med, marine heatwaves are linked to subtropical ridges rather than atmospheric blocking, the typical cause of atmospheric heatwaves in central Europe. The brilliant ECRs Giulia Bonino and Ronan McAdam led this work! 🌊Link in the comments.

🌊 Last day of the One Ocean Science Congress #OOSC heading to the UNOC3… lots of good science to back up our decisions. #ScienceForTheOcean Thanks to @jpgattuso.bsky.social for leading this extraordinary meeting and @froeltho.bsky.social for chairing our session on extreme ocean events!
Recommended read: @al-jazeera-english.bsky.social ran a long-read about efforts led by Brazil’s Indigenous Maxakali community to protect and restore the rainforest in Minas Gerais.
With song and seed, Brazil’s Indigenous Maxakali confront climate change
The Atlantic Forest used to blanket Maxakali territory. But as the forest disappears, the group faces intense heat.

I just returned from Hawaiʻi, energised by two fantastic events at the Univ. of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa The symposium celebrating the scientific legacy of Klaus Wyrtki & the ENSO winter school I made new acquaintances, met old friends & learned a lot! Mahalo to Christina Karamperidou & Malte Stuecker
We've just published a study @commsearth.bsky.social about the severe 2020 coral bleaching event in the tropical Atlantic caused by massive marine heatwaves 🌊🌡️🧵 Link: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
I have been receiving the sad news about massive NOAA firing. I cannot explain how important NOAA is for science globally. The data and model outputs generated by NOAA globally allow researchers from countries that don’t have the funding or capability to develop those to do their own science. 🌊🧵
As a Brazilian born during the military dictatorship, I can say this film is also an analogy for what Brazil could have become had it not been for the dictatorship. A beachfront Brazil full of friends and laughter, books and art, cigars, whisky and celebrations… 🧵

And now the heat is on! We are heading for a 10-day heatwave. Not fun waking up at 6:00am with 27C already… Though with a beautiful sky!
Climate change will affect all of us! Two weeks ago it was my turn. Record-breaking rainfall in Florianópolis where I live reached 390 mm in 36 hours. A similar event in 1995, considered the worst extreme in history, was 165 mm in 36 hours. We @wwattribution.bsky.social have released a statement.
🌊 The Marine Heatwave Research Focus is a working group of WCRP-CLIVAR, chaired by Antonietta Capotondi and me. We just published this review paper, and many open questions remain about their vertical structure, prediction and projections… rdcu.be/d2Xh0

So it begins… I am here with the Brazilian science delegation to the running up to COP30. I hope we can do differently in Brazil, with science and people at the centre of COP30…
