Who I wonder is an "appropriate operator" for the Trump administration? 🤔 Will we be losing Derecho core hours to an AI company? 🤦‍♀️ #SaveNCAR

The latest unhinged threat from the Trump administration would destroy the best climate modeling center in the world. It would also be a blow to US researchers (including me) who depend on NCAR's modeling expertise and educational training programs for students. #SaveNCAR www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/c...

I am currently seeking a Lab Manager for our Organic Geochemistry Lab at the University of Arizona! Full time position with benefits. If you have a chemistry/biology/geology degree and like fixing things and working with students, this position could be for you! arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...

The special issue @quantamagazine.bsky.social on Climate Science just dropped and I know what my weekend readings is gonna be 👍🏻 www.quantamagazine.org/how-we-came-...

I do love Reddit for so many reasons. Thanks for accepting me bros!

I stand by my offer to appear on Joe Rogan and set the record straight about our half-billion-year temperature reconstruction www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A proposed Amazon data center in Tucson (“Project Blue”, FFS) that would have sapped power and water from the city has been REJECTED thanks to amazing community solidarity. The people of the desert have spoken and won ✊🌵🏜️

why does coal use she/her pronouns

This @wired.com article is extremely timely for those of us in Tucson, Arizona, as we face the possibility of Amazon Web Services building a huge data center at our outskirts. Energy and water use for AI data centers are non-trivial. Read my thread below if you want to hear about our local story ⬇️

Update on the NOAA Fellows situation: as of late last week the furlough has been lifted (phew!). However, there are no new Fellows this year, and we still don't know the future of this program.

✨Paper #2 has just been published @weareagc.bsky.social ✨ And it is about hopanoids!! Thank you @climategordon.bsky.social for trusting a brand new journal with your research. AGC is 💎 open access: free to publish and free to read 🙌 Geochemists, come publish with us! journals.uu.se/AGC/article/...

The Trump administration's proposed budget would slash NOAA's climate research funds. It still has to pass Congress, but it's already affecting scientists. A program supporting promising new climate scientists furloughed its current cohort and canceled 2025 awards. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/c...

Reporting on the NOAA Fellow furlough, from the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/c...

As of today, all current NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellows have been furloughed due to the Dept of Commerce not releasing the funding for the program. In addition no new Fellows were awarded this year. cpaess.ucar.edu/cgc

So cool!! The journey started in 2018, I think the photo on the left was 2021 (?) and now the Judd curve is on the wall in the Smithsonian 👍🏻

The fact that "climate is always changing" should not bring us comfort! @hausfath.bsky.social and I break down common climate denier arguments on @pbs.org Weathered www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP2l... Feat. temp and CO2 reconstructions from our lab and @mudwaterclimate.bsky.social

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

Hard to post about ‘normal’ things, but - we had an amazing field trip out to CA with ugrads to learn and practice oceanography this Spring ❤️🌊 when things are dark I get a boost from teaching great students!

We've quickly moved from being the spokesperson for a protest movement to being arrested at a protest to publishing a critical op-ed as the criteria for summary deportation. A slippery slope for free speech indeed. www.nytimes.com/2025...

Grijalva was my representative and a legend- defender of the environment, indigenous groups in southern AZ and sensible border policy. Going to be missed 💔 RIP

I identify with this iceberg. (Also a beautiful video)

Saturday is for enjoying Springtime in the desert. Even in years with little winter rain (like this one-less than 1 inch so far 😳) ocotillos will always bloom providing hummingbirds with nectar. A strong and spiky and beautiful plant 💪 #sonorandesert

My term as Editor-in-Chief of Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology comes to an end soon. We're looking for a new EIC. Consider applying www.agu.org/Publications...

This just hit my USGS colleagues while we are at a conference. Some folks were planning on using that card to get home. And if this conference occurred even a few days later all the good science discussed here wouldn’t have happened.

Quietly, my university took down its webpage on diversity (diversity.arizona.edu) and edited its land acknowledgement to remove the clause, "Committed to diversity and inclusion, the University strives..." We need Universities to stand up for their values, not comply in advance 😡

For SuperbOwl day I’ll share this photo of a fulvous owl I took in Guatemala. Very handsome 🦉

Rest in Peace Professor Andy Cohen @uarizona.bsky.social. I first met Andy as a PhD student working on Lake Tanganyika. He loved lakes and lake drilling projects, and was an incredible educator. His signature look was colorful collared shirts that he used to buy in Africa. We will miss him a lot 💔

I know people are worried (and rightly so!), but many NOAA NCEI sources were scheduled to be offline potentially through Friday evening

Studies of the last time atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations hit 400 ppm—during the Pliocene—could offer clues about possible climatic changes in store for the 21st century. New research by @leafwax.bsky.social and colleagues in @aguadvances.bsky.social. eos.org/research-spo...

Our Pliocene paper is featured in @eos.org ! eos.org/research-spo...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

“The NSF could have a hard time legally terminating grants, because their funds are appropriated by US Congress, meaning they are PROTECTED BY LAW” This is a waste of program managers time. And against the law. So disappointed in NSF leadership.

It's been such a crazy week, I haven't had time to post about it yet...but yeah, we have a new paper out 🎉 in @aguadvances.bsky.social about the Pliocene - the last time Earth experienced CO2 level like we have now. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

For my first scientific post here, I want to talk about the Phanerozoic temperature record we published last Fall, which unfortunately has been making rounds in the climate denier circuit 👀 First though hopefully you can appreciate the beauty of this reconstruction ✨...

Uh oh… hopefully just temporary 💔

Hi 👋 I made it over here. My handle is as on the former T/X platform: leafwax. Why? Because I sling ancient leaf waxes to learn about past climate changes to better inform our future. Looking forward to conversations here about science...also food, nature, pets, birds :)
