Science is facing one of its most challenging moments. There's never been a more important time to understand the current state of federal science funding—and what’s at risk. Watch AGU’s on-demand webinar to get the full picture. 🎥 buff.ly/AIDUCEi

AGU's volunteer #PeerReviewers help advance the Earth and space sciences and maintain the integrity and accountability of the scientific record. 🌎 If you are interested in joining the AGU pool of reviewers, please fill out our interest form: buff.ly/ZezWxq4 #PRW2025 #AGUPubs #PeerReviewWeek

Did you know? In Louisiana three new gas plants will be built to power a massive Meta data center. AI needs a lot of power and is accelerating our fossil fuel problem. But we know how to make renewable energy using solar and wind. We need to demand sustainable solutions from our politicians.

the kids are not alright nature is not alright climate is not alright politics are not alright we have lost our way

Yaas! See you at the AGU emerging scientist’s publication workshop! Where can I get my OSM26 tartan kilt?

🌊🌏🧪🏳️‍🌈🙏🏾📚So proud to be standing up for science and scientists with AGU! I did not ask permission to do what is right. When the laws become unjust, the just must become outlaws.

🚨 It's August Days of Action! Call your reps and tell them: cuts to science hurt communities, climate leadership & research.
 @aguscipolicy.bsky.social makes it easy—click, connect, speak up. 🔗 Take action now: buff.ly/dVHCj8h

Water quality off Miami Beach is shit—quite literally—with 10x safe levels of enterococci bacteria reported this week, largely due to leaky septic systems in rising groundwaters. If you are local consider contacting Mayor Levine-Cava to demand county sewers. 🌊 @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Predatory journals, science fraud, and reviewer burnout are undermining the quality of our science. What can we do? Senior scientists: Evaluate on quality because numbers no longer equate with scientific productivity. Junior scientists: Embrace slow science because your reputation is everything.

I’m a big beautiful science nerd researching how ocean currents are spinning off more extreme ocean storms and what that means for marine life. Many unknowns come with change, this is just one tiny detail, and everything is changing so fast. With stakes this high, no wonder we humans are divided.

When we use words, form policies, and take actions against others for the way the world is, we are thinking with our egos and acting on our resentments, instead of thinking with our love and acting on our compassion. The ocean humbles egos and heals resentments.

@miamirosenstiel.bsky.social undergrads Riley Ames and Jose Solorzano hitting the CTDs and water sampling out in the Gulf Stream for the C-Streams experiment.

🌊 Smooth seas this July in the Gulf Stream as it passes thru Florida Straits. This is our final cruise of the C-Streams experiment to quantify nutrient and carbon fluxes in the Stream and understand their effect on downstream productivity and anthropogenic carbon uptake. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

🌊 New global study challenges the Redfield ratio... Analysis of >400K ocean samples (1971–2020) shows C:N:P ratios are dynamic, not fixed, shaped by depth, time and (of course) human activity www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Coming to the ocean/atmosphere/climate conference in S. Korea this month? Join me to discover a writing process for effective and concise communication of your science.

A good mentor is asking questions 90% of the time.

@miamirosenstiel.bsky.social Just another Saturday morning exploring the ocean!

🌊 In the water and on the water. The ocean is VAST, more than twice the area of all the continents put together. Plus an astounding 4 km deep, more than 5 times the world’s tallest building. And still, we 8 billion humans are changing every interconnected corner of it.

🌊

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

All at sea again! How do we capture km-scale processes and approach within meters of a rocky sea wall at 200 m depth while swept along in the rushing Gulf Stream?

Attending #EGU25?🌍 Editors from AGU Publications will be available for 15-minute 1-on-1 meetings to offer advice on publishing and finding the right venue for your research. Reserve your spot today! 🔗 buff.ly/JTMjOeW  #AGUPubs #STEM #EarlyCareer #EarthScience #SpaceScience @egu.eu

🌍 Science is global. AGU is reaffirming its commitment to protecting the global scientific enterprise—because collaboration, openness, and shared knowledge are essential for solving the challenges of our time. 📢 Read AGU’s full statement: 🔗 buff.ly/HMkVjmz

Mothers and grandmothers watch this! AI algorithms are gender and race bias. These are the waters our children are swimming in. Women and people of colour are constantly disappeared, objectified, and dumbed down by internet searches.

Sometimes all you need is take in the beauty of nature.

Some defiance for science! 🌊🌏🧪 @agu.org We affirm our commitment to publishing evidence-based Earth and space sciences that is free from political interference We will continue to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive scientific community because it improves the quality of science

To abandon reality and facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true then all is optics and the rich and power-hungry pay for the most blinding lights. Being deceived is not an excuse. Timothy Synder, On Tyranny.

A true patriot has universal values by which we judge a nation, wishing it to do better. Patriotism is concerned with the real world and asks us to be our best selves. Timothy Synder, On Tyranny.

Nationalism (fascism) is to be against others, it is relativist. The only truth in nationalism is the resentment we feel when we contemplate others. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst and then tells us we are the best. Timothy Synder, On Tyranny.

We people have become subjects of the corporate oligarchy. Our public mission—how we stand up for the one another as Americans—has been derided and eroded for decades and is now being fully canned.

Writing your first science paper? Wondering where to start? Write an abstract first to troubleshoot and refine the research question, your main results, and conclusions. @jgroceans.bsky.social @agu.org

🌊🌏🧪 we are standing up for science @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

@miamirosenstiel.bsky.social #StandUpforScience walkout, 12 noon March 7 at the flagpole.

🌊 Not sure how to resist Trump as our institutions are bullied and silenced by threats of federal defunding? Join AGU. Together we are strong and can speak truth to power on science and equity issues.

Opting out will make climate change more of a threat to US citizens! “The world’s largest community of climate scientists urges the Trump administration to immediately renew U.S. federal commitment to climate science, including the restoration of data, personnel, grants and collaborations.”

🧵: I am getting texts on what scientists should do in this perilous and scary moment. My advice: your biggest power is to organize through your professional societies. A few ideas -

🌊 Dear NSF and NOAA colleagues, Your work matters. Many of you have sacrificed personal gain and scientific freedoms to serve the public good. Thank you! Your mission protects lives and protects nature, including the most vulnerable people and places suffering the fall out of anthropogenic change.

🌊 OceanOPS is boosting its @bgc-argo.bsky.social monitoring! New maps have been developed, and KPIs are now available for each variable. Take a look and explore the network's progress toward reaching an array of over 1000 5+ sensor floats! 🔍 www.ocean-ops.org/board?t=argo

🌊 @jgroceans.bsky.social Don’t be the author who writes in their abstract “However, <insert topic> is poorly understood/observed/modeled”. This does not explain a gap in understanding and cannot communicate that you have new science. Get specific! Read past studies! How does your work contribute?

I wish I had time to be in the ocean every day. But I do have the great privilege to study the ocean, teach about the ocean, and serve the ocean and climate science community every day at work.

Writing an abstract for @jgroceans.bsky.social? Most important is to communicate what you have learned about the ocean that is new! To do this you will need to explain the specific gap in understanding that your findings fill in the context of previous studies.
