Flooding along the Gulf Coast is expected to be the dominant weather impact this week. Multiple days of heavy rainfall are forecast, with prolific rainfall rates at times. Do NOT attempt to enter or cross flooded areas or roadways. Please #TurnAroundDontDrown

Slow down, folks and take a look: It's NOAA #SeaTurleWeek! 🐢🐢🐢

NOAA Fisheries@fisheries.noaa.gov · 2mo ago

Sea turtle lovers, listen up! 📣This is your week! That’s because we’re celebrating the amazing reptiles who have been swimming in Earth’s oceans for tens of millions of years. Sea turtles migrate across oceans and survive for many decades at sea. 🐢🌊 www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-stor...

Join us tomorrow at 3 PM ET for an assessment of the strength of the U.S. research enterprise, its position in global scientific leadership, and its role in sustaining economic competitiveness. Register to attend online or in person: https://ow.ly/kmLR50Z6fcY

Scientists present a compelling correlation between carbonatites—often host to critical mineral deposits—and sections of Earth’s continents that sit near zones of past subduction. Story by @dralkatrip.bsky.social. eos.org/articles/anc...

Ancient Subduction May Have Seeded Today’s Critical Mineral Deposits - Eos

The fertilized mantle lithosphere may play an important first step in the formation of carbonatite deposits, known to host critical minerals.

Does the Tibetan Plateau move like aged cheddar or like brie? It’s a bit of both, a new study says. 🧪 Comments from @ericjfielding.bsky.social and @timwrightleeds.bsky.social universityofleeds.bsky.social. eos.org/articles/wea...

Weak Faults Play a Strong Role in the Tibetan Plateau’s Deformation - Eos

Ten years’ worth of data reveal that two theories about how the Tibetan Plateau deforms are both probably right.

SAVE THE DATE for STUDENT RESEARCH DAY! May 8th, 2026 where students will showcase their research. If you are around, consider volunteering to judge as well.

Student Research Day is around the corner. Join us to celebrate the end of another great year at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck!! When: May 8th @ 5:30-8:00pm

Keith VanGraafeiland & the Esri ocean science team are problem solvers. Bring your GIS questions to Booth 8 at this year’s #GulfCon and meet with us! Read the Esri Community Blog for more info: ow.ly/s8aX30sVmre 🌊 🦑 #gischat

Our last department seminar of this Spring semester is with Dr. Roger Michaelides . The talk is entitled “Geophysical Characterization of the Near Surface in Periglacial Landscapes with Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)”

Here is the link to our paper (it is in press). The main take home message is that Mg and Sr can give us hint about the presence of calcite and aragonite in stalagmites. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Antiphase variations in Mg and Sr are excellent indicators for calcite and aragonite presence in stalagmites

Stalagmites are excellent paleoclimate archives. Detailed documentation of their mineralogy is fundamental for a robust interpretation of paleoclimate…

This Friday, Dr. Voarintsoa will give a seminar talk about “Advancing Tools for Tropical Paleoclimate Reconstructions and Monsoon Studies” @voary.bsky.social

Exciting news that the US has a research icebreaker on the way. Notes from today's PRB meeting include that the goal is to have it out in ~5 years (!!!) but that the scope will have to be reduced to fit the budget somehow (???). @policyhound.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...
