Call for Experts for Upcoming IPCC Work | AGU The U.S. Academic Alliance for the IPCC, hosted by AGU, is facilitating nominations to the Seventh Assessment Cycle.

I’m thankful and impressed by my colleagues who assembled the US Academic Alliance for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (USAA-IPCC) and my professional society @agu.org for hosting it. Without USAA-IPCC, US scientists wouldn’t be able to contribute to various @ipcc.bsky.social reports.

Making sense of a chaotic planet: How understanding weather and climate risks depends on supercomputers like NCAR’s Behind the long-term climate projections that affect our lives sits one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the modern era.

Behind long-term climate projections sit one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the modern era: climate models that run on supercomputers.

A climate data scientist explains how the models work:

Private money cannot replace public funding of science Who should pay for American science? In the current political climate, many are looking to the private sector to compensate for cuts in public funding. At the Harvard School of Public Health—particula...

He is wearing a collared, striped shirt layered under a dark, zip-up sweater. The background is a soft, out-of-focus outdoor setting featuring blurred trees and a covered walkway.

@baylorfk.bsky.social is not actually a fox. He's a Professor at @brown.edu whose research focuses on ocean physics and its role in the global climate system, and in particular, submesoscale turbulence, mixed-layer dynamics, and improving climate model accuracy through advanced parameterizations

Rain is coming to Antarctica – here’s how it will change the frozen continent In the Antarctic Peninsula, precipitation is increasingly falling as rain rather than snow, with consequences for glaciers, penguins and even scientists.

"Rain, once rare in Antarctica, is becoming a force capable of reshaping life on the peninsula. Limiting warming to below 1.5°C won’t prevent these changes entirely. But it could slow how quickly rainfall transforms the frozen continent."
