Here's NASA astrophysics, if I read the president's proposed budget correctly. 🔭

Dozens of active and planned NASA spacecraft killed in Trump budget request Proposal would end nearly all new major science missions

Breaking from @science.org: The Trump administration wants to kill off a host of active and healthy NASA climate and planetary spacecraft. It would be a "leaner, more focused" agency, they say -- and one far less capable of studying the Earth and exploring space.

⏰ I’m advertising not 1️⃣ but 3️⃣ positions!⏰, one RA and two #PhD s (fully funded 4 year EU/UK fees) as part of my team at @tcddublin.bsky.social looking at how roots work in natural ecosystems and influence greenhouse gas fluxes 🌏 🍃 🌲 💻

Published today in the @ametsoc.org Journal of Climate, my rather long paper shows that the average upwelling in the equatorial Pacific is 13.1 ± 6.9 meters per day. This is much faster than historical estimates and the latest generation of global climate models.

“Numbers in the Trillions”: Fossil Fuel Producers on Hook for Climate Harms New research suggests a way to link oil, gas and coal companies to specific climate harms.

Easy to miss amidst the avalanche of bullshit, but scientists have shown conclusively that a handful of fossil fuel companies are responsible for trillions in damages for their contribution to heat waves alone. The great @roycerk2.bsky.social explains: drilled.media/news/heat-at...

Tue, 17.10-17.20: Anna Mackie – Cloud-circulation coupling in convection-permitting simulations

Cover of book "Antarctica and the Earth System"

New book!! 📕

Antarctica is intimately connected to the rest of our planet, affecting climate, ecosystems, cultures and society. Our new book draws together international experts to explore this influence, and to understand what humans are doing to Antarctica (1/n)

This is the gold standard measure of atmospheric carbon, the one you see in almost every chart that tracks emissions.

Ocean-surface warming four times faster now than late-1980s - National Centre for Earth Observation A new study, published today (Tuesday, 28 January 2025) in Environmental Research Letters has shown that the rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades.

New study published today shows the rate of ocean warming has quadrupled since the 1980s🌊
