Mike Gordon is featured on Science Friday this week. Surrender to the flow! www.jambase.com/article/mike...

This is great piece by Nadir Jeevanjee (NOAA GFDL) that summarizes five of the fundamental and accurate model-based climate predictions made by Suki Manabe and colleagues at GFDL over the past half century+. 🧪⚒️ theconversation.com/5-forecasts-...

Seems like the #Aurora is already visible over a large chunk of the CONUS tonight thanks to the #CME's over the last few days from a couple of significant X-class solar flares.

Just out: new New Jersey state sea-level rise assessment Under current global emissions trends, New Jersey is likely to experience 1.5-2.5 ft of sea-level rise between 2005 and 2070, 2.2-3.8 ft by 2100 (or 2.2-4.5 ft, considering potential ice-sheet collapse).

The Prehistoric Planet trailer is out! It was an honor to work with this incredible team: youtube.com/watch?v=f7kv...

The PRI Museum of the Earth, in Ithaca New York, is one of the great museums of the East Coast, punching way above its size and with an incomparable research collection. Help save them! www.priweb.org/mortgage-cam...

World premier Saturday 29 November, of The Exoplanets, composed by my colleague composer Robert Laidlow, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra at Royal Festival Hall. Some background on the genesis of the piece is here: www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/astrophysics...

Our new study emphasizes the potential importance of the Southern Ocean under ambitious emission mitigation: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/..., with an EOS spotlight: eos.org/research-spo....

It's v hard to tell but it might be Didal Glacier, which is surge-type and actually was surging in the months prior to this video. I don't know if something switched allowing the runaway mode seen in the video. Curious for thoughts of other glaciologists 🧪⚒️❄️ www.planet.com/stories/dida...

Excellent spooky bog 🧵!

Do you love bogs and Halloween? If so, please follow and share this thread to explore the eerie, the dark and the supernatural side of bog ecosystems. BogBoo. 1/ You are terrifying and strange and beautiful, something not everyone knows how to love. -Warsan Shire

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

NOAA Hurricane Hunters going through this 👇 to collect valuable scientific data to help forecast Hurricane #Melissa. 🧪

Amazing COLDEX.org results - 6Million year old ice, with bubbles of old atmosphere. Thank you ice, for the stories you share about our planet and its climate. Led by Sarah Shakleton #glaciology #womeninstem #cryosphere #Antarctica www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... news.oregonstate.edu/news/six-mil...

Last year, @michaelfwehner.bsky.social and Jim Kossin made the scientific case for a Cat6 cyclone. This week, Hurricane Melissa became the 6th storm in recorded history to smash through that threshold, with max winds of 216mph. And conditions leading to these storms are on the rise. Read more:

I've been involved in this CH4 vs CO2 thing for years, and indeed GWP* is a concise embodiment of the concept I proposed in my Annual Reviews article on short lived climate pollution. I cannot understand why something like GWP*, which demonstrably

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

I am proud to report a major breakthrough. Our 7-yr old asked what was for dinner. “Lasagna.” “What’s that?” she asked (we have had lasagna several times, but she always refused to touch it)…. 1/2

PHILLY I stepped out to walk across Philly last night and get a sense of things. City Hall always captures me here, Philadelphia has maintained its European layout and much of its early architecture.

"we propose this Potassium-40 deficit represents primitive proto-Earth mantle domains that largely escaped mantle mixing after the [moon-forming] giant impact and exist in the present-day deep mantle, contributing to some modern hotspot volcanism" ⚒️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Faculty and Student Unions understand that the only way through this is by university communities joining forces. When will administrators listen?

🚨New Paper 🚨 The PeatPic Project: Predicting plot-scale green leaf #phenology across #peatlands So happy to see this paper online — one of my favourite projects! We explored how to capture how peatlands change colour using smartphones and community science! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

In contrast to the other side of the #Arctic, sea ice along the Atlantic front is a record low for this time of year. This relates to the recent record warmth and southerly winds/waves pushing the marginal ice zone closer to the North Pole. Data from @nsidc.bsky.social (nsidc.org/data/seaice_...).

Sorry to be nostalgic, but I miss what this place was a couple of years ago when my feed was just @faineg.bsky.social and the occasional Alf discussion, etc.

The Trump regime's cuts to early carbon removal projects, like DAC hubs in Louisiana and Texas, cause industry uncertainty. Though the DOE says these projects aren't terminated, the risk of further cuts remains. This highlights the fragility of early projects and inconsistent government support.

Seagrasses are great but this is false. Most carbon in the ocean is dissolved inorganic carbon and seagrass carbon is a tiny fraction of that. The mixing of stock and flux is also unhelpful. The only way to stop climate change is not burning fossil fuels. reasonstobecheerful.world/seagrass-res...

When gas passes Wholesale electricity prices respond to market forces: renewables are now so cheap that, once they set the majority market price, everyone benefits (oh, except legacy fossil gas and fossil coal generators.) www.linkedin.com/posts/raywil...

I love this image.

Here we go… Go Maine!! #hockey

Congratulations to the UMaine Women’s Hockey Team for their decisive 3-0 win over St. Anslem College today!

I attended Graham Platner’s @grahamformaine.bsky.social town hall this evening in Brewer, Maine, at Food and Medicine. I am grateful that he is running. His words were inspiring and actionable. Time to unshuck the system! 🦪

A site in NW Bohemia belonging to prehistoric hunters has yielded the remains of an astonishing *19* wooly mammoths, dating to about 24,000 years ago. Story (from the Czech press) below. An earlier, preliminary English article at english.radio.cz/mammoth-hunt... #archaeology #mammoth #prehistory

👀 Depleted sulfur 33 on the moon may indicate some kind of overturn exchanging materials between the surface & mantle under a thin atmosphere in the newborn moon 🧪⚒️

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Congratulations to Jeremy Frey for winning a MacArthur Fellowship!! For: "forging a singular aesthetic that blurs the boundaries between craft, design, and contemporary art." Photos from his recent exhibit at the Portland Museum of Art:

Another collection of moments from film and television, shaped by the sound of Sigur Rós. Which was your favourite?

Don’t know why it took me so long, but I just discovered that @sigurros.com is on BlueSky!

RIP to the incomparable Jane Goodall, who embodied the best of humanity. Her rich legacy included becoming friends with Gary Larson after he drew this cartoon. (She was delighted by it, even though many at the time thought it was terribly offensive to her.)

The GRFP announcement from NSF cuts out an entire cohort of 2nd year students from consideration, without warning. This is so deeply unfair that it warrants a formal protest from the scientific community. If someone wants to work with me to craft an open letter and solicit signatures, LMK.

We made the big leagues

Listening to a great ‘Fresh Air’ w/ Terry Gross featuring an interview with Samine Nosrat about her new book “Good Things.” I can’t wait to get this book. “Recipes and rituals to share with people you love.” (“Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” was a game-changer for us!)

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.
