Grad student wins prestigious Schlanger Ocean Drilling Fellowship - Binghamton News Halima Ibrahim to focus on the interaction of ocean currents and ice sheets during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition

Congrats to Halima on being awarded a Schlanger Fellowship, so well deserved 👏 #IODPFunded @bingu-earth.bsky.social www.binghamton.edu/news/story/5...

I presented our record of ocean and ice sheet history in the Ross Sea at the 2025 West Antarctic Ice Sheet Workshop held in Coupeville, Washington last week. Loved connecting with researchers from different disciplines including glaciology, oceanography, modeling, and paleoclimate #NSFfunded

I'd like to introduce a new page on my website: U.S. climate indicator visuals (zacklabe.com/united-state...).

I only have a few basic variables so far, but I will be expanding this summer to add a range of metrics (e.g., ecological). I welcome suggestions! Hope this is useful, especially nowadays.

Also had a wonderful time catching up with my former labmate and friend @karavadman.bsky.social who now works at MGR 💁🏻‍♀️

Got to crack open some beautiful Antarctic drill cores at Oregon State University’s Marine Geology Repository last week. We will using biomarkers to reconstruct past climate and ice sheet conditions during the Pliocene and Pleistocene 🇦🇶🌡️

Really packing in the gymnastics meets this week- tonight was OSU vs Washington and Alaska at Anchorage. Awesome to see two-time Olympian Jade Carey compete in person! #NCAAGym

Front row seat for my first ever MSU and Big 10 meet! Excited to see the Spartans on vault #NCAAGym

NOAA Employees Told to Pause Work With ‘Foreign Nationals’ An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause “ALL INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.”

By definition, numerical weather models require international data. The atmosphere knows no geopolitical boundaries: any model that begins and ends at its country’s border is unable to generate reliable predictions until after a weather system crosses its boundaries. Which defeats the purpose!

Fun ocean circulation demonstration in class today! Before it cooled we had a clear bottom water, intermediate water, and surface water 🌊 #oceancirculation #marinescience

I guess I’m doing this bsky thing now. 👋👋👋 Come for the Antarctic paleoglaciology and nerdy lab content, stay for cute pictures of my dog.

👋 New on this platform, making the permanent move from Twitter. I am an oceanographer and geologist and I research how ocean heat influenced Antarctica’s ice sheets during past warm climates 🌡 🌊 🇦🇶
