Merry Christmas friends, from us to you 💕

NORAD is using "Gulf of Mexico" on their Santa tracker. That's hilarious!

This day 57 years ago. Earthrise. A remarkable view of Earth hoving into view as the Apollo 8 command module flew over the lunar surface. That's us. That's home.

Yay!

From wildfire warnings to flood forecasts, NCAR's research impacts everyone in America. President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless. We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.

NOAA has started terminating grants to UCAR under the UCAR/NOAA Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program (CAMP).

Oysters are woke? I am so sad about this ..

Our first direct hit. Oddly our oyster work is the most popular thing we do. Great return on investment for taxpayers funding bay restoration. cambridgespy.substack.com/p/horn-point...

🌊 carbon peeps

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it ❤️

Please repost! The LOC Lab @UCSB is recruiting a #PostdoctoralScholar in forest ecology and data science to develop data-driven models of forest resilience to compound disturbances (e.g., fire, drought, insects). 🌱🍁🌏🧪🌐 Applications due Feb 5 Apply here: www.landscapesofchangelab.com/were-hiring-1

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.

Seen at #AGU2025 in New Orleans

Most of the scientists at the nonprofit that I cofounded, including my two cofounders, came from NCAR. It’s hard to overstate the importance of this place for climate science.

#NASACuts 🌍🧪🛰️ A long (and thoughtful) article on the future of Earth Observations by NASA and the role of commercial services. There are no easy answers. But one should start by laying out the problem and this article is a good start. newsletter.terrawatchspace.com/science-as-a...

how lucky i am that this was my lunch view. 💕🌟

This is a total stab in the dark for my #phillies fan friends out there. Ages ago (15+ years) the Phils sold this Phanatic ornament. My brother and his family had one they loved, but lost along with everything else in the CA fires last year. I can't find one anywhere online. Anyone have any leads?

🛰️🌍🌊💨🔥 #highlatitudedust and biomass burning today in Patagonia. Early image shows initial dust activity from dry lake Colhue Huapi and in the upper NW corner smoke from and ongoing (on and off in the last weeks) were both clear. Later image shows dust and smoke clouds have extended quit a bit.

Important updates from @agu.org for those attending #AGU25 in New Orleans as the city is invaded by federal paramilitaries in operation “Catahoula Crunch”

starting the working day with the song called 'fk this shit, i should be on a tropical island somewhere' helps with productivity...

I hope @agu.org is going to speak to #AGU25 attendee safety, and acknowledge the potential increased threat to some attendees based on what some morally corrupt, bigoted CPB/ICE agent thinks about how they look or where they're from. Allow people to cancel & refund their registration $.

A surge of pale plumes spilling into the Gulf of Lion reveals a powerful pulse of sediment flushed seaward—most likely driven by intense post-storm runoff. 🌀🔵🟢 This dynamic mosaic exposes how river floods briefly rewrite the coastline, painting the Mediterranean with Earth’s raw energy.🌊🎨

The 6th International Ocean Colour Science Meeting starts today in Darmstadt! 🌊🎨 4 days of insights, collaboration & discussions on future missions & Earth system science, co-hosted by EUMETSAT & @esa.int, with support from #Copernicus. We're looking forward to a great week - stay tuned here. 🛰️

for the #sciart among us, but also for the rest of us to use this guide for shopping

Authors, artists, makers of all kinds, don't miss the chance to be featured on @scalzi.com blog The 2025 Whatever Holiday Gift Guide Starts Monday!

Holy fucking shit this is a *real* image from a *real* (presumably peer-reviewed) paper in [Nature] Scientific Reports. How many people had to sign off on this figure? The editor, one hopes, the reviewer(s)? The copy editor? What had to happen for THIS to get published?

While the US is slashing their Earth observation budget, the EU is increasing it. Thankful for the sanity of ESA

Potential ICE sighting close to my work. OMW while blasting USA by @dubioza.org

Every day i see further decimation of the american based Earth Observation. And all in the name of the privatization of the earth's observations, which is not how the shit works. Great article to read and share: newsletter.terrawatchspace.com/why-science-...

One of my absolute favorite studies.

🔴⚠️🌋🇪🇹After more than 10000 years,the 1st historical #eruption of #HayliGubbi #volcano has occurred in E. #Ethiopia, producing an eruptive column that reached more than 18km of height on Nov.23.⬇️Meteosat12 animation of RGB Ash product of the huge gas & ash plume moving eastward.

The eruption after thousand of years of #HayliGubbi #volcano in #Ethiopia. According to analyses, part of the eruptive column from the eruption may have reached an altitude between 18 and 20 km. The #Copernicus #Sentinel5p image on Nov. 23 shows the big plume moving eastward.
