New Postdoc opportunity with us in AOPP, Oxford!

We’re excited to be a part of Hot Poets🔥Ignite a brand new climate & poetry education campaign featuring Michael Rosen - watch the poem, buy the children's poetry book, or book hot poets at your school at hotpoets.org (1/2) youtu.be/KquXACs9GSQ?... #climateaction #education #hotpoets

Are you interested in seasonal forecasts and how they have advanced over the past two decades? Chris O’Reilly (Univ. of Reading) led a new paper on exactly this: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Two postdoc jobs available on our Arctic Butterflies project! (Not actual butterflies - basically Arctic dynamics and predictability - the butterfly effect in the Arctic...) Oxford job: tinyurl.com/yc6h4b35 Reading job: tinyurl.com/ypn75jh2 Please help spread the word!

Oxford Climate Research Network are recruiting! Join OCRN as the network coordinator (0.6FTE) and help us raise the impact, effectiveness, and profile of climate research at Oxford University. Deadline: midday 8 Sept 2025 @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social More details: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Job alert: we are looking for a postdoc to join the Atmospheric Dynamics group in Oxford to study Arctic atmospheric dynamics. The focus is on energy transfers between scales and implications for predictability. More details here: tinyurl.com/yc6h4b35

Great Climate Justice event last night at the #RHRNCimate Summit @morethanadodo.bsky.social @pittriversmuseum.bsky.social late night at the museum. Well done everyone, including @climateoxford.bsky.social @geologisetheatre.bsky.social!

Today's climate events in the #RHRNClimate Summit local programme. #MutiraoGlobalCOP30 🗓️ Fri 6 Jun PART 1/3 ➡️ All day - Global Youth Climate Summit ➡️ Until 4pm - Climate and Law Conference ➡️ 10-2pm & 2-4pm - Environmental photography exhibit ➡️ 11am - Call for Code

One of our motivations for writing this was a prevalent misconception that blocking systems are becoming more common. They aren’t. They’re projected to become less frequent. However, the hot and dry spring is consistent with climate change. @ncas-uk.bsky.social @uniofstandrews.bsky.social

The ERC Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral programme is now open . marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-op... , closing 10 Sept. (but the Oxford Physics internal deadline is 16 June). A great opportunity for folks from outside the UK to come do a two-year postdoc at Oxford.

Do you have research interests in sub-seasonal prediction, high resolution modelling or data assimilation of the Earth system? Open junior and senior fellowship opportunities in partnership with University of Reading, ECMWF, NCAS and UK Met Office: research.reading.ac.uk/earth-system...

Thanks to Tiffany and Isla for leading this review paper - and the workshop last year which inspired it! And thanks to @erichfischer.bsky.social for a great thread summarising it 👇

10th UK Climate Dynamics Workshop 2025 7–9 July, Met Office, Exeter Abstract deadline 16 May www.rmets.org/event/10th-u...

#NotInOurSky : Our opinion piece with Mike Mann on the extreme dangers of ARIA's solar geoengineering project, which is reviewing proposals including field experiments right now: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

New paper on European blocking just out: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Quite surprising - we looked at how blocking depends on physical parameters in a model and found very few sensitivities - only to convection in summer and to drag in winter. @cfmcswede.bsky.social

Wonderful to welcome Prof. Karen Heywood to deliver the annual @ox.ac.uk - @metoffice.bsky.social Houghton Lecture at @oxfordphysics.bsky.social this afternoon, a great choice!

New paper day! Increasingly Seasonal Jet Stream Raises Risk of Co-Occurring Flooding and Extreme Wind in Great Britain rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... The final piece in the CGFI and friends compound wind flood risk puzzle, led by John Hillier :-)

Still time - abstract deadline for BACO2025 now extended to 25 Feb!

We've put together a little explainer on Storm Éowyn, its development, where it stands compared to other (in)famous storms and on whether future explosive cyclones could become more "sting-jetty" and diabatically driven theconversation.com/why-meteorol... @ncas-uk.bsky.social

Great news - well done Libby!

2 weeks left to apply for a NERC-funded PhD place at Oxford!

Abstract deadline for the storm tracks workshop has been extended to 20 January - please tell your friends! Will be a great meeting in a wonderful place.

We have another great Stormtracks workshop coming up: Rosendal, Norway (near Bergen), 15-20 June 2025. Abstract submissions deadline is approaching fast: 15 January 2025. More information: stormtracks2025.w.uib.no Please consider coming, and also help spread the word!

New climate science faculty post going in the great Earth Sciences dept here at Oxford. Details below...

Excited to share our latest research, which tries to answer the question of “how long does the ocean remember?” To find out more, see press release and article. news.liverpool.ac.uk/2024/12/03/r... @ricliv.bsky.social @timwoollings.bsky.social

Calling all Oxford climate folks! Oxford climate drinks is back on Thursday 5th December. Come grab a pint, meet like-minded people and chat about all things climate 🌎 All welcome! 🗓 Thursday 5 December 🕕 From 6pm 🍻 The Victoria, Jericho

Hello Bluesky! My first post on here seems like a good opportunity to advertise our new paper that was published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science today: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Abstract submission now open for IUGG BACO-25 meeting in Busan, Korea in July 2025: www.baco-25.org/new/ Please consider our joint session JMP10: Ocean-Atmosphere Mechanisms of Climate Variability, Change and Predictability

I could spend hours looking at graphics like this. Greenland blocking bringing cold Arctic air down towards the UK. Credit: earth.nullschool.net

Advertising for a PhD position at Oxford working with me and Tad Komacek. Project is on climate modelling using automatic differentiation with Enzyme in SpeedyWeather.jl applied to Earth and exoplanets. Plenty of space for ML/GPU/HPC/data visualisation projects within that PhD position too!

Quick advert for a new paper led by Henrik Auestad: wcd.copernicus.org/articles/5/1... Tries to understand the difference between 'weather' and 'climate' views of the impact of latent heating on storm tracks.

Hi all! A few weeks ago I realised I was sick of twitter, but to give it one last chance I thought I should wait until the European blocking ends. Oh well... 😉
