Hi everyone, In my yearlong program Life Skills For Young Scientists, we learn essential skills for a happy and productive career that grad school doesn't cover, starting with mindfulness and self-compassion. Registration for the fourth iteration is now open, details at lisys.ing. Please share!

I am recruiting a PhD student in physical oceanography to work on the observations and dynamics of the #AMOC! Come join us at @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social in Miami! Details and application at the link👇. DM me for details. 📸 Claudia Campi & Cedric Guigand graduate.earth.miami.edu/admissions/p...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... We are raising the alarm because continuing observations of one of our most important components in the climate system are becoming unsustainable.

Amoc collapse could change Europe’s climate 10x faster than expected. We aren’t ready

The system of ocean current that moves heat in the Atlantic Ocean plays a key role in regulating climate. Today’s monitoring of it may be discontinued

The #AMOC is in news these days. It is a good time to reflect on the hard work that many groups conduct in order to obtain observational estimates of the strength of the #AMOC. The #RAPID and @o-snap.org (#OSNAP) teams organized a workshop in 2025 to review our technical approaches ...

A nice coverage by @cnn.com of our article published last week in Science Advances on the weakening on the AMOC www.cnn.com/2026/04/16/c...

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents is weakening and closer to collapse than thought, new studies find | CNN

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would have catastrophic impacts on the planet’s weather and climate.

Is the #AMOC currently weakening? A thread. Yes, if you fit a straight line through the time series of AMOC strength derived from the #RAPID array at 26°N, it does, at a rate approaching 1 Sv per decade over the last 20 years.

Look at these cheerful scientists on the first day of #OSM26. Still smiling just like how we mean to go on! @selipot.bsky.social

I don’t think we are all too busy to review. I think that increasingly we refuse to work for free. Time to pay reviewers. What was the hashtag ? #450movement ?

New paper alert led by Tyllis Petit! Mooring observations are crucial for obtaining the long-term trend of the #AMOC. See "Evaluation of a Reduced RAPID Array for Measuring the AMOC" in @jgroceans.bsky.social agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Hey oceanographers! Are you sometimes getting confused when you read or write about errors, uncertainty, biases and the likes? No worries, we got you, the @usclivar.bsky.social #OceanUQ working group has produced a handy #glossary, check it out at oceanuq.org/learn/glossary

Kind of a big deal, no?
