For those living in Newfoundland and Labrador, do you remember this 2022 thick-billed murres mass die-off?

Sea-ice perturbation and mass starvation of Thick-billed Murres in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean Mass mortality among seabirds has been associated with ocean heatwaves. Though less commonly reported, cold water events can also be devastating. During spring 2022, thousands of Thick-billed Murres (...

🌊 What is the Meridional Overturning Circulation
and why is it important?

The Meridional Overturning Circulation (#MOC) – critical for transporting heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients across the globe – is weakening under climate change.

We have a new paper in Science Advances on seasonal movements of the sub-Arctic seafloor. Using sub-annual bathymetry, porewater data, and moored sensors, we observed the seabed expanding and contracting through freeze–thaw cycles, forming seasonal frost blisters.

Are these the happiest PhD students in the world? Nature - Brazil, Australia and Italy have the highest satisfaction scores in Nature’s global 2025 PhD survey — but are these nations really the best places to do a doctorate?

We asked 3,785 PhD students across 107 countries about their experiences. Where do you think the happiest doctoral candidates were?

"The Arctic is the Key to Understanding Climate Change" | UiT The Arctic plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system. The region is undergoing dramatic changes that could have global consequences.

I am very lucky to be in Cambridge Bay in the Canadian Arctic to teach (and learn from!) students of the "Arctic Future Pathfinders" interdisciplinary course organized by the @uitnorgesarktiske.bsky.social.

More importantly I learned so much from the community!

Humans will always have oxygen to breathe, but we can’t say the same for ocean life We are not at risk of running out of oxygen due to climate change, but ocean creatures are – and that will harm the whole planet.

This false assertion about the ocean producing 50% of the oxygen we breathe is so widespread that @jpgattuso.bsky.social @bopplaurent.bsky.social and others have written about it here.

As scientists warn that #AMOC may slow/collapse, experts are trying to improve research on this critical ocean conveyor system
We need:
- Better measurements
- Global cooperation
- Sustained funding
- New tech for real-time data

AMOC research=climate security. Let's keep it going! 🌍💙
