Rapid Response Bridge Funding Program In the face of recent abrupt shifts in federal funding for education research, including large-scale terminations of National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant awards, we have developed a rap...

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.

Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:

1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

Don't forget! Applications for the 2026 California Sea Grant State Fellowship Program are due June 13, 2025. Apply today by visiting caseagrant.ucsd.edu/funding/2026...

Please send aid, not just thoughts and prayers.

Most on this site know that federal workers are good people who work hard.

But it's striking to see the data.

Federal workers put in more hours a week than anyone except military and self-employed.

Federal workers take fewer days off than almost any others

Third paper: "There are 1.5 populations"

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between January and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.

In the next few days, I will be sharing some of our work that I am most proud of from my time at NOAA/GFDL. But I would also like a little normalcy today on my feed, so here's my go-to sea ice data viz update.

#Arctic sea ice extent still remains the *lowest* on record for the date (JAXA). Not good

How timely

A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each January from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in January 2025 was 1.33°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. A map of temperature anomalies in January 2025 is also shown. Red shading is for warmer than average temperatures, and blue shading is shown for colder than average temperatures. The climatological baseline on the map is relative to 1971 to 2000. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

Last month was the *warmest* January on record globally.

It was also separately the warmest January for global land areas and the 2nd warmest for global ocean areas.

Data provided by NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...) 🧪⚒️🌊

tl;dr works in some cases but challenges remain. Physiological SDMs are useful but not a panacea for detecting or projecting distribution shifts.

The reliance on lab experiments to parameterize the metabolic index limits the breadth of its application to understand climate drivers of distribution.

Estimating a physiological threshold to oxygen and temperature from marine monitoring data reveals challenges and opportunities for forecasting distribution shifts Species distribution modeling is increasingly used to describe and anticipate consequences of a warming ocean. These models often identify statistical associations between distribution and environmen...
