This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

We found that on monthly timescales, freshwater flux is the dominant driver of salinity changes in 11% of the ocean and a major influence in another 35%. However, this relationship weakens over longer timescales, except in the polar regions.

Excited to share a new paper in GRL, led by former lab member Chao Liu! We used machine learning to find out when and where ocean salinity acts as a "rain gauge" for the global water cycle. doi.org/10.1029/2025... #Oceanography #ClimateScience #MachineLearning #WaterCycle

Quite accurate. Hard to remember one US politician who did not attribute anything bad to the other party or other countries. Common sense tells that is problematic.

So, speaking of Universities caving to government demands and people bringing up loyalty oaths, here's a story that involves a well known oceanographer. In 1935 Massachusetts enacted a law that required teachers in public and private schools to take a loyalty oath to teach in the state 1/n 🌊

Happy to share a new paper in JGR-Oceans, titled “Assessing Deep and Abyssal Ocean Heat Content Changes With a Dynamically Consistent Ocean State Estimate.” agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I used to believe I made the right decision to pursue a life and career in the States. Not so sure any more after the crazy few weeks.

@carlbergstrom.com's paper in PNAS crystalized this for me, many tasks that we can use LLMs for are *part of the process of thinking and understanding*. "Papers are but messages that we send one another to coordinate our collective quest for scientific understanding." www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....

Glad to see our recent study was highlighted by @jgroceans.bsky.social

Happy 25th birthday to the #Argo program! 🥳 As one of the original Argo member institutions, we're proud to maintain ~10% of the global float array. Here's to the next 25 years, which will bring us #OneArgo, #BiogeochemicalArgo #DeepArgo! Find out what it's all about ⤵️

Just learned where the name "Argo" is from and its relation with "Jason" in an article by Prof. Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli link.springer.com/article/10.1... A nice short reading for physical oceanographers.

So nice to see many familiar names here :-)
