Our work on how atmospheric rivers organise along a global transport network has been covered in this cool new Science News article ☁️🛣️ www.sciencenews.org/article/mapp...

On today‘s #Showyourstripesday, this good boy just wanted to let everybody know that the planet is heating (and he doesn’t approve) ☀️🌏🔥

💨 If you happen to work with our PIKART atmospheric river catalog already - great, check out the updated version V1.1! 🌧️ If not, now would definitely be a good time to give it a go! 🙃

Version 1.1 of our PIKART catalog is now published, including a more robust tracking algorithm and some fixed bugs: ar.pik-potsdam.de?a=general#:~...

In our new highlighted paper in Earth System Dynamics, we map out the global atmospheric river network along with its main hubs, highways and basins! What emerges is a surprisingly structured system that we think could open up new perspectives on atmospheric connectivity💨🌧️ doi.org/10.5194/esd-...

Paper alert ‼️ 🧪Our very own Dr Jade Margerum just published her 2nd PhD paper on International Women’s Day! 💐🌻🌹🌷 15 years of monitoring of #Botovskaya Cave in #Siberia! Kudos to our women & an amazing team! @olakwiecien3.bsky.social @annabelwolf.bsky.social digitalcommons.usf.edu/ijs/vol54/is...

🌍 Call for Abstracts: Session AS1.34 at EGU General Assembly 2026 We are excited to invite you to submit your abstract to our session at the EGU General Assembly 2026: 🌧️Atmospheric rivers: Understanding their processes and impacts across past, present, and future climates (AS1.34)🌧️

A great article by the @washingtonpost.com which I’m excited to have contributed to!💦💨 It has really powerful interactive visualisations of how a warming planet is also a moistening planet on which more precipitation-induced disasters strike regions all around the globe🌎 wapo.st/4oklfvh

Deadly rivers in the sky

A new Washington Post investigation reveals where climate change has supercharged the movement of moisture through the skies.

👥 This week, we welcomed Tobias Braun, from the Institute for Earth System Science & Remote Sensing (Leipzig University). 🌏 During his talk today, he discussed the potential of complexity science to bridge the gap between synoptic processes and planetary-scale dynamics. 🙌 Thanks for visiting us!

The Arctic is warming roughly 4x faster than the rest of the planet. How do we know how fast it will warm in the future? Models, alright, but palaeo-analogues from the deep past offer real data! In our new study… (1/2) cp.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

Speleothem evidence for Late Miocene extreme Arctic amplification – an analogue for near-future anthropogenic climate change?

Abstract. The Miocene provides an excellent climatic analogue for near-future runaway anthropogenic warming, with atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global average temperatures similar to those projec...

🌍 Fresh dataset of atmospheric rivers just dropped! After 3 years of work, we proudly present PIKART — 8 decades of user-friendly global AR data. We really hope it can help to better understand water transport & climate impacts 💨💧 Give it a go: ar.pik-potsdam.de #ClimateData #AtmosphericRivers

PIKART – A comprehensive global catalog of atmospheric rivers

The PIKART Atmospheric River Catalog is a global, high-resolution dataset of atmospheric rivers spanning 1940–2023. It is designed for reproducible research on AR dynamics from the tropics to the pole...

New data set for Atmospheric Rivers: PIKART!💨 These narrow bands of moisture in the lower atmosphere act as conveyer belts of water vapour and typically carry more than twice the flow of the Amazon River. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

Great to see our work in @eos.org ! A good read for the evening! 😇 kudos to all our friends & colleagues that contribute to this ongoing endeavour - there is so much to learn! 🤩 together - always! @thomasopel.bsky.social @juvmcburst.bsky.social @pucicu.de @scitobias.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk

Back to good old Austria Center Vienna for the European Space Agency’s Living Planet Symposium #LPS25. After a grand opening yesterday, I‘m curious to learn more about Earth Observation & discuss science! 🌎 🛰️

With its 21k attendees, #EGU25 can really feel a bit overwhelming at times😵‍💫 But it’s also an awesome opportunity to catch up with science friends & check out loads of cool research! 🌍

Thanks to all attendees & everyone presenting exciting research in last Friday‘s first-ever #EGU25 session on Atmospheric Rivers! See you next year! #atmosphericrivers

Attending EGU25 conference? Working on atmospheric rivers? We’ll be stoked to have you joining our session! #EGU25 #atmosphericrivers #climate #EarthScience

A new paper led by Sebastian Sippel just appeared in Nature arguing that ocean temperature measurements in the early 20th century have a cold bias. It's a fun story illustrating the process of scientific discovery, so let me talk about it a bit. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Early-twentieth-century cold bias in ocean surface temperature observations - Nature

Independent statistical reconstructions of the global mean surface temperature from either ocean or land data show that existing estimates of early-twentieth-century ocean surface temperatures are too...

We Europeans need to practice survival in a rapidly changing climate - my opinion piece, focussed on Spain, but could equally have been written 3 years ago after the deadly floods in Germany . We've not learned enough & that costs lives and livelihoods. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why did so many die in Spain? Because Europe still hasn't accepted the realities of extreme weather | Friederike Otto

Severe flooding is, unfortunately, inevitable. What isn’t inevitable is how ready we are, says Friederike Otto of World Weather Attribution
