Interested in paleoclimate science? Join us at the CESM Workshop (June 15–17), with the paleo session on June 17. Discover exciting new research, mostly presented by early-career scientists. Free online registration & multiple in-person attendance options available. www.cesm.ucar.edu/events/works...

The 31st Annual CESM Workshop is almost here! In-person registration closes June 5. Join us for plenaries by Duncan Watson-Parris & James Done, plus sessions on storytelling, ML, Earth system prediction & high-res CESM. Registration: www.eventsquid.com/mobileapp.cf...

#ExtremeWeather events are becoming more disruptive. A new @nationalacademies.org report and interactive site—with contributions from #NASmember Isabel Montañez—explore how paleoenvironmental records can reveal past extremes & strengthen future resilience: nap.nationalacademies.org/resource/292...

the final bit of my PhD work is now out in ERL! we look at how recent trends in tropical Pacific SSTs contributed to forest fire & climate trends in the Southwest US vs Eastern Australia (two super fire-prone regions with opposite-signed ENSO teleconnections) 🔥🌬️ iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

If anyone wants to read an excellent oped in the New York Times by Matt Huber, let me suggest you start with this one. www.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/o...

Introducing "TEXAS" — a PSM for #TEX86! Culture & mesocosm data constrain T response above 30°C. Ring Index brings culture/mesocosm GDGTs into agreement with coretops. Not linear, not exponential — the T–GDGT relationship follows a logistic S-curve. Preprint: tinyurl.com/2kfadt9p Stay tuned!

NSF NCAR CGD scientists joined a Texas A&M workshop on high & ultra-high resolution Earth system modeling. As models sharpen from ~100 km to ~3 km, they can better capture regional detail & extremes but bring big scientific and computational challenges. Proud of our CGD scientists!

New paper on cloud feedbacks out! urldefense.com/v3/__https:/... Should an enhanced East Pacific warming pattern manifest at equilibrium, our results suggest that CESM2’s high climate sensitivity may be realized.

I'm happy to report that the recent paper written by my former student Qin Qin Kong, part of his dissertation work WBGT, trying to develop a more solid theoretical understanding, is a Highly cited article in 2025. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/TUPBHE... The credit is all Qin's.

Postdoc position in Oceanography and Paleoclimatology at the University of Oxford - shorturl.at/yTblW The role involves exploring the role of ocean circulation in setting and responding to equator-pole temperature gradients over the Phanerozoic. Deadline is 17 April 2026.

As @triptychphrases.bsky.social showed, these summer temperatures on the California margin can have important implications for summer precipitation (extremes) in the south/west US iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Most of my career has been in area of climate science called "the pattern effect". Work over the last decade (including my own) has led to a simple paradigm for the mechanisms of the pattern effect. In this new preprint, we argue this paradigm is woefully insufficient arxiv.org/abs/2603.24488 1/

Really excited to see this paper out!! Led by @vtcoop.bsky.social we show that if you use cold and warm paleoclimates together, you can reduce uncertainty in Earth's climate sensitivity by quantifying the pattern effect and more precisely constrain future climate change www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
