Have family whose lives were turned upside down by a weather 'anomaly'? Scientists are trying to place agency over your life back into your able hands. "Sufficiently advance technology is indistinguishable from magic" AC Clarke et al Its not magic, but it IS hard. American Scientists can do it.

The last days of the #nyc #nasa #giss eviction, @wclivestream.bsky.social#nyc#nasa#gisss born It has been reactivated for the cause of #ncar No amount of thoughts and prayers will avoid the next weather disaster- but turning smart young folks loose on hard climate problems might just help us avoid and cope

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Goodbye #agu25 The best part of my trip was reconnecting with many many colleagues AND Starting my new role as Associate Editor at AGU’s Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology under my good friend @sfeakins.bsky.social#agu25as Editor in Chief Really hope to see folks again next year.

Awesome turnout in support of @ncar-ucar.bsky.social at #AGU25. Take a look at how many people use our products!

#agu25 folks— Townhall at 1p this afternoon on NCAR

NCAR and UCAR have released a statement. NSF has not provided any guidance to UCAR or NCAR leadership about this whole situation. news.ucar.edu/133054/ucar-...

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social. The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others. www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪 #AGU25 #climate

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

The dismantling of NCAR should be the trending story on Bluesky, not the fucking Oscars leaving ABC for YouTube.

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.

I asked our plugged in & savvy early career scientists to hold off til morning (when we might be able to do something) to spread this word so that we could have a brief recharging respite to reaffirm our commitment to our shared earth and science - and yes : humans— eg Americans #agu25

Attendance at US-based science conferences is bouncing around this year but generally down. #AGU25 has ~10k fewer this year! I explored these trends for @nature.com — including solutions to keep conferences local & productive: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

A car exit ramp rendered a huge section of riverside park near Columbia university at w125 in nyc unusable. Mother Nature (and neglect) reopened it to the community. #bikenyc bsky.app/profile/atth...

Micromobility at #agu25 Hope it is helpful to folks - it is nearly a kilometer end to end at the conference center. 😬

TODAY is the first of two @geolatinas.bsky.social meetups at #AGU25 @agu.org hosted by Lina, Katalina, Tamara, & Ana María, dear leaders in our community 💜👏🏽 Stop by room G114 @11:00 am to connect w/other Latinamerican geoscientists, share opportunities, & importantly, share your story. ALL welcome!

TIL @agu.org handles 40,000 peer review reports a year. 🤯 That’s a lot of community service hours. Someone do a $$ calculation on that. #agu25 AGU editors dinner

They let me label myself ;-) #agu25 Really grateful to be reconnecting w colleagues. Feels like a subdued AGU this year esp in the paleo sections. Registrations are down by about a third v last year. My pp talk tomorrow pm

I’m packing up to head to the #agu2025 in New Orleans tomorrow. This is my first nasa travel since AGU2024. I hope to see folks there—in person or virtually. I am now a new Associate Editor at AGU’s Paleoceanography & Paleoclimatology Journal. I’m really excited! ❤️ See you soon! 🌎

My dad texted me that he ran into a now-retired professor in the department today, one of my favorite instructors. I can't stop thinking about how this must feel for someone like that, seeing the community you spent a whole career building get dissolved by administrators using faulty data.

Of course the central business district got 3x the improvement in Air Quality (PM<2.5um decrease wise) of the lowly outer boroughs If only there were a way to get those benefits much further uptown.

All these years of helping my kids with math homework, and I learned something new. No one ever taught me the Pascals Triangle— much less that it could help you shortcut your tedious polynomial expansions, but both my kids had to learn it, and it is def cool. 😎

Among US-based lead authors (📷) who met in Paris to begin drafting IPCC's 7th Assessment Report to inform climate policy are Columbia Climate School professor/LDEO climate scientist Suzana Camargo and NASA GISS research physical scientist Anastasia Romanou. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4oEMhgo

For nearly 25yrs, I commuted from my neighborhood in Upper Manhattan to the Columbia U neighborhood of Morningside Heights. Every time, I passed this odd, super-long, two lane wide exit ramp at 125St, I wondered why it couldn't be half-a-bike lane. NYC said no, but nature says 'yes' (for now).

Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head. #fossil #fish #paleontology #bothriolepis

NYC. We need to make sure our own house is in order.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.) RTs appreciated.

A year ago, I was so excited that The #NASAglobe citizen science program had moved its base to #cuny #nyc - TIL it’s defunded. Now we say “crowd sourced” I feel grief; folks are trying to persist- this is the follow on ngo https://nextgenglobe.org#NASAglobe#cuny#nycddly, the site is blocked from my nasa device

An atmospheric river will bring heavy rainfall, likely with dangerous flooding and debris flows, to parts of Southern California today into the weekend. A debris flow happens when normally dry soil becomes overly saturated, reaching a point where it turns to a liquid state and flows downhill.

@agu.org has shown some really impressive leadership in this difficult year. Really acting like a “Union”, not just an “Association” or a “Society.” Kudos to both their elected and staff leadership.

NatGas will save us from coal seemed like a panacea in the 200Xs. Methane concentrations year2yr stabilized. Simple Right? No, turns out over the lifetime, LNG, liquid ‘natural’ (CH4) gas, is coal like in its Carbon footprint 🙏 for science🧠 that sorted it out over the last 20 yrs Link

For Democrats willing to promote fossil fuels as clean energy, the payoff is pretty nice Other Dems who've joined Natural Allies receive anywhere from $180K - $250K per year. It doesn't appear to be a full-time job either.

A magical record! Now 3,000,000 years long! Repost this quote and see if it increases by another order of magnitude.

Everything I will say and more is in this blog post. Great use of early generation satellite images and reanalysis data, showing how and why wind direction, fetch, and speed changed as the ship crossed the lake, with the worst near the end. cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...
