In the spirit of exploration, from space to the deep ocean, watching #ArtemisII space launch from beginning to end was not only a sight to see after 50 years, but pushes the boundary of knowledge and wonder of the unknown. #NASA #Artemis

Last week I was invited to give a seminar at Oregon State University for the Ocean Ecology and Biogeochemistry Seminar! College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences - Oregon State University 🌊

🌊Excited to let you know that my paper (second chapter from my dissertation) is published! 🌊 Title: Spatial Distribution and Temporal Variability of Dissolved O2 in the Santa Barbara Channel and Basin, California agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... #CALCOFI #AUVSentry #Oxygen

🌊 A historic moment for the ocean. The #HighSeasTreaty has officially entered into force, marking a new era in the protection of our shared ocean. Learn how you can take action for the High Seas: https://highseasalliance.org/

Today, the world has made history - the #BBNJ Agreement has officially entered into force. Hear from ministers, ocean advocates, and High Seas Alliance members urging all nations to keep global momentum toward universal ratification high. #HighSeasTreaty #60ToGlobal

🌊 Unlock the Ocean’s Hidden Chemistry! Excited to announce #argopy 1.4.0! 🎉 Now predict nutrients (NO₃, PO₄, SiOH₄) and carbonate variables (AT, DIC, pHT, pCO₂) with CANYON-B and CONTENT models—directly from your #argofloats data. Perfect for @bgc-argo.bsky.social users ! argopy.readthedocs.io

Really enjoyed OceanHackWeek this week

🌊 New evidence suggests the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), long considered an internal climate fluctuation, is heavily influenced by human activity. Greenhouse gases and aerosols may be driving its multidecadal variability. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Motherfucking wind farms…

Day 1 of carpentries! 🙏🏽

The State Department fired the remaining staff in the Office of Global Change, responsible for international climate policy, as part of a larger downsizing of nearly 3,000 employees. This leaves the State Department with no staff knowledgeable about global climate negotiations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

They want to close the NOAA lab (GML) that brings you this, the most iconic time series in the environmental sciences. gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

Senate Appropriations has a markup hearing for science this morning. In their bill: $9B for NSF (current is $9.06B). Also includes protections for NOAA and NWS staffing. 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

Happening now nomination hearing for the NOAA Administrator and Assistant Secretary Dr. Neil Jacobs, (NOAA Administrator) Mr. Taylor Jordan Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Environmental Observation and Prediction (NOAA) www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/7/nomin...

While the results of the proposed budget in NOAA FY2026 awaits with Congress Commitee on Appropriations, the impact to students and early career professionals remain uncertain. If pushed forward, there could be substantial changes to science and workforce development. 🌊 substack.com/inbox/post/1...

The Trump administration’s proposed FY26 budget for NOAA would eliminate climate research at NOAA. 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

Found a coral washed up on the beach. I wonder what type it is

It's hard to adequately summarize how destructive NOAA's 2026 proposed budget released on Monday is for hurricane forecasting, but I crammed all I could into today's newsletter. I encourage everyone with interests along the coast to read it carefully. ⬇️

I'll have a new live Weather and Climate office hour on Tue, July 1 @ 3pm PT to further discuss the potentially disastrous NOAA budget decimation, and also the (ongoing) NorCal lightning/fire weather event (expect a radar/satellite tour). #CAwx #CAfire www.youtube.com/live...

One things that I’ve been questioning lately is, with changes in ocean programs how can outside sectors feel the gap

Reading through the “big beautiful bill” as the senate prepares to vote. This will have serious set back for families and businesses and government functionality.

First time using R, I actually like that the interface is a mixture between matlab and python

Feast on some recent deep sea news & discoveries, like a sea spider covered in methane-fueled bacteria. 🌊🦑🌏🧪 @nicoledubilier.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/s...

Let me go vote #LoveIslandusa

Never let her Please get her leave the villa. out of the villa I’m so for her own entertained: good right now: #LoveIslandUSA

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Excited to join the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI) looking forward to contributing and being engaged! @deepstewardship.bsky.social

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪

I’m “going to need a bigger boat” 😉 to contain all the love, inspiration and LIFT experienced at this week’s @peterbenchleyoceanawards. So grateful + stunned by the honor, incredible gifts, & in the presence of such iconic ocean champions! Together we are unsinkable!

Let me go look at this skinny budget

An amazing & productive conference is coming your way, free and virtual!! Registrations still open for the Deep Ocean Observing Strategy (DOOS) Annual Meeting: "Impact at Scale: Creating Lasting Change in the Deep Ocean Community" May 27-29, 2025 on Zoom www.deepoceanobserving.org/pages/2025-a...

🌎 Happy Earth Day 🌴 Join BIMS for continuous live discussion led by dynamic leaders in marine science, conservation, and advocacy. Raising awareness and funds while amplifying voices. Today I will be doing a live science demo and will be discussing the importance of ocean observation!

So much for eating the fish. NOAA layoffs: a crisis for U.S. fisheries? www.nationalfisherman.com/noaa-layoffs...

NOAA just announced a long list of datasets that are going away🧪⚒️🌊: www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume... Download what you need asap and send comments to: [email protected]

Motivated to keep pushing for science, because once we stop it gives them justification to not support

It’s always something and I’m tired www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/c...

Every day, it's something dumber. NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) brings us the ocean and atmospheric CO₂ measurements, among many other things.

“Marine biodiversity is protected when marine environments are protected”

This is really going to effect our ability to provide robust climate data that will have unimaginable impacts in the future. I feel bad for everyone who has put in time and energy into their work for this to happen www.commerce.gov/news/press-r...

1st day (of the second phase of my post-doc) #NOAA #AOML

Officially relocated to Miami, would love to connect with some ocean people here 🌊

Dr. Nancy Foster was a marine biologist known for her science-based conservation of coastal aquatic life. She was a champion of diversity and an advocate of fair and equal treatment in the workplace. #WomensHistoryMonth fosterscholars.noaa.gov/aboutnf.html @noaa.gov
