We had a great turn out at our Dynamic Coastlines poster session this afternoon! Looking forward to some excellent talks in our session tomorrow. If you're at #OSM2026, we hope you'll join us from 2:00-3:30 for more discussions on coastal climate impacts!

Hey #OSM2026! We hope you'll stop by the first of our "Dynamic Coastlines" sessions this afternoon in the poster hall. We're roughly between boards 815-863. Hope to see you there to talk about coastal climate change impacts!

As Greenland loses ice, global sea levels will riseβ€”and its own will fall The island is rebounding from ice melt so fast that scientists are rethinking how Earth’s interior works

Key Finding 3: In a warmer climate, it becomes more likely for tropical cyclones to make their first landfall in the Philippines or Indonesia during the winter monsoon and spring seasons, and along coastlines of mainland Southeast Asia during the summer monsoon and autumn seasons.

Key Finding 2: Proportional increases in tropical cyclone genesis over time exceed 100% during the winter monsoon season, and 50% during the summer monsoon season.

Key Finding 1: From the historical era (1881-1900) to the future era (2081-2100), there is a northward shift in genesis across all seasons, and increased likelihood of genesis near major coastlines

i do not believe for a second that the hundreds of thousands of layoffs we’re seeing right now are bc ai is replacing them, seems much more likely that the economy is imploding along with corporate mismanagement

You can spend your career doing work that shows we should expect more dangerous storms in a warmer climate... But it never gets less mind-blowing or heartbreaking to watch something like this unfold.

Roger Pielke Jr.’s Appallingly Bad Analysis of Billion Dollar Disasters – Economics from the Top Down In a recent paper called Scientific integrity and U.S. β€œBillion Dollar Disasters”, Roger Pielke Jr. published a chart that's so bad I've devoted a whole essay to debunking it.

Finally, an independent expert, political economist @blairfix.bsky.social, has actually taken a look under the hood, digging deep into the details of Roger's methodology, and it's not pretty. Blair's commentary speaks for itself: economicsfromthetopdown.com/2025/10/26/r...

In my 30 years being a professional meteorologist, I can't say I have ever seen a #Hurricane with better/ more textbook structure than #Melissa in the Atlantic.
It's been a Cat 5 all day long with no signs of getting any weaker. That's a rare run! Here's more...

Storm Melissa's Slow Pace Is What Makes It Risky for Caribbean The slowness of the storm means it is likely to increase rainfall, dumping several feet of water in some areas.

Happy to have provided input for this well-written story by @laurenthal.bsky.social, highlighting some of the reasons to be concerned about #Melissa, and some of the ways that storms like this are becoming more dangerous in a warmer climate:

Melissa becomes third Category 5 hurricane of the extraordinary 2025 season Updates and summaries on tropical Atlantic activity... including easterly waves, tropical storms, subtropical storms, and hurricanes.

For only the second time in recorded history, an Atlantic season has produced three Category 5 hurricanes... the previous year was 2005. This puts 2025 in an elite class of hurricane seasons. It also means that nearly 7% of all known Category 5 hurricanes have occurred just in this year.

Changes we expect to hurricanes in a warmer climate include more rapid strengthening, slower forward movement, and more torrential rainfall--all characteristics that describe the incredibly dangerous #Melissa. If you know anyone in Jamaica, please make sure they get to safety.
