Dear Friends, Please send this to your networks. Project Drawdown is offering full-time, paid (with benefits) fellowships to scientists and engineers working on climate solutions in the public interest. Deadline is April 17. drawdown.org/careers/clim...

Work with me! Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Brown University invites applications for a Doherty Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ocean Sciences. This competitive postdoctoral fellowship will be awarded for a one-year period, + 2nd year possible. Please see apply.interfolio.com/183855!

Finally!!

“Vice President JD Vance thinks aliens are visiting earth and that they are Demons” is the most “I wish Carl Sagan were alive” moment I’ve had in a while.

NSF Update through March 13, 2026 1/2

It is getting harder and harder to think things will be ok again soon.

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! Learn about the history of women lighthouse keepers, 5 of whom worked in RI. Using the example of Ida Lewis, this lesson discusses 19th c gender ideals and how some women came to become lighthouse keepers. Visit shiphistory.org/2023/10/19/i.... #MaritimeHistory

Ugh.

Welcome, Melissa!! Looking forward to working with you.

Another great job opportunity for an early career researcher to join us as a chapter scientist on our journey to pull together the best possible chapter on sustainable low-carbon futures for the @ipcc.bsky.social 7th assessment report! Details below 👇

Ørsted's 704MW Revolution Wind offshore wind project started delivering power to New England's electric grid yesterday: orsted.com/en/media/new... 🔌💡

Last night was a big night for offshore wind: Vineyard Wind finished construction and Revolution Wind began sending power to the grid @wbur.org #energysky www.wbur.org/news/2026/03...

70 YEARS AGO. March 8, 1956: Roger Revelle testifies to Congress about "the greatest geophysical experiment in history”: “burning, as you know, quite a bit of coal and oil and natural gas” and “producing tremendous quantities of carbon dioxide” which could “cause a remarkable change in climate.”

Are you a young academic working on climate and feel ready for a move? We are recruiting two Assistant/Associate Professors @granthamicl.bsky.social at Imperial College London @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social (1/6)

How many of you academics out there get credit for promotions from reviewing papers?

New perspective paper on using accurate emulators (ML-based or toy-model-based) like dx.doi.org/10.1175/JCLI... and dx.doi.org/10.5194/egus... together with Earth System Models to get more out of both! rdcu.be/e1Kdr

Enormously interesting to work on this article. John Nicklas defends his PhD, including his contributions to this work and dx.doi.org/10.1175/JCLI... on Friday!

Some nice coverage of our new report on who's blocking action on climate in the Rhode Island legislature. This is a "blue state" with huge Democratic majorities. Yet 21 of 22 priority bills of statewide climate and environment organizations in 2025 died in committee. ecori.org/the-usual-su...

Excited to share our new paper (w/ @aakashsane.bsky.social @baylorfk.bsky.social) where we used the CESM-LME and information theory to understand Pacific decadal variability! 🌊 link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

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.

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.
