For day 20 of our #PLOSClimateCountdown, we're highlighting an Opinion piece by Helene Hewitt and colleagues: "Towards provision of regularly updated climate data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project" 🔗 journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

NCAR folks, especially folks who are currently here at AGU -- I know it's a really tough day amid a week that was supposed to be about celebrating science. Would be interested in how you're feeling and how this has affected your week and your presentations. I'm on Signal @chelseaeharvey.01

Still waiting for the Climate Working Group (TM) to respond to the many critiques of the DOE-commissioned report, but meanwhile the hits keep coming... The Rate of U.S. Coastal Sea‐Level Rise Doubled in the Past Century. Piecuch (2025) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Roger, we didn't always agree, but on this point we do.

I just called our Rhode Island congressional delegation. Do your part!

Everyone always asked why I moved to landlocked Colorado to do oceanography. Because it was the world's largest concentration of climate scientists. Because of NCAR and NOAA. In Boulder, fewer are alarmists; they are overwhelmingly problem solvers. NCAR's science is patriotic. Vought is not. 🌊

I came to the US over 10 years ago for a postdoc at NCAR. It changed my life and supercharged my ability to do science. NCAR's unique community nature makes it a global node in atmospheric and climate research. It's really not possible to overstate its value for science and society.

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

is there a *mr* information?

Brown faculty, including IBES fellow @baylorfk.bsky.social & affiliate @maratimes.bsky.social, are part of the new SIMCoast initiative modeling microplastics in Narragansett Bay. “It’s a fantastic way to do interdisciplinary work and learn from others,” Freilich told @browndailyherald.bsky.social.

The www.wcrp-climate.org/esmo-overview is seeking a new Co-Chair of the obs4MIPs Steering Panel. Individuals with a background in observations and/or climate modelling are sought, especially: Reference dataset preparation Open-source code and workflows Data policy/processing FAIR data principles

The drinking water fandom is dying. Like and share if you're still sipping that clear stuff in 2025

Sometimes you have an idea so dumb that you HAVE to do it (I didn’t get this up in time for Halloween though)

IBES Fellow Baylor Fox-Kemper is leading a team of Brown faculty members involved in SIMCoast, an NSF initiative to track how microplastics move from land to sea and explore what this means for ecosystems, climate, and communities. Learn more about Brown's role in the project ⬇️

On it

Here’s an idea and you want to help people in you area, turn your itty bitty book library 📚 into a tiny food pantry. Again, please repost.

Hi everyone! New equitable climate futures job at Brown working with ecf.brown.edu. brown.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/staff-...

A quick summary by me of a new instance of an old story. @realclimate.org Time and Tide Gauges wait for no Voortman www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar...

Here‘s a rare and excellent career opportunity for outstanding physical oceanographers at the Potsdam Institute (PIK) and the University of Potsdam, in beautiful surroundings just outside Berlin. Tell qualified friends or colleagues! 🌊 www.nature.com/naturecareer...

It's about time we start organizing the Liege Colloquium for 2026! Submesocale Processes in the ocean will be the topic, a revisit of the Colloquium of 2016. 10 years of advances! I'll try to document here the journey towards organizing such an event, maybe there's interest? #LiegeOcean26 🌊🧪

AMS released a statement on climate change today that points out five foundational flaws with the Department of Energy's 2025 climate report: www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

Thanks to @ianjames.bsky.social for coverage of our work agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

I know that job situations have likely changed for many in climate research. If you are looking for a new opportunity, maybe consider our current opening for the Chief Editor at Nature Geoscience. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

US climate scientists need all the help they can get. Including from foul-mouthed comedians! 🤡😱😱 Watch Emmy Award-Winning David Cross team up with Prof Michael Oppenheimer in the US launch of the hit series "Climate Science Translated". #climate #arresteddevelopment #climatescience

I acted as a senior advisor for MPOWIR. I learned so much about being a better advisor, to women and to physical oceanographers of any gender.

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪

I would not be a scientist or a professor #withoutNSF. Some think that overhead charges to grants are just free money for universities to waste. Since I began as a professor, I have gauged my grant funding so that my overhead covers my 9 month salary--the largest expense I cause my university.

Yep. Great thing to set up if you can and participate in. www.providencejournal.com/story/entert...

Who wants to work on coupling #IceSheet models into #GCMs? We have a 4 year position open @dmidk.bsky.social -come and join us in Copenhagen... (Part of the @icelink-project.bsky.social ) candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

@baylorfk.bsky.social — an IBES fellow and professor of Earth, environmental, and planetary sciences — spoke to @jeremybernfeld.bsky.social about how climate change impacts the ocean and how RI communities can better prepare for conditions that could negatively impact water utilities.

I wish this was an exaggeration.

Congratulations to IBES Director Kim Cobb (@kimcobb.bsky.social) — one of six outstanding Brown faculty members newly elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences! Learn more ⤵️
