Now with oceanography 🌊
This looks really interesting, I’m especially interested in water mass and DOM implications/insights. I suspect I’ll have to read it a number of times
Cool!
Excellent piece on ocean monitoring with fixed assets and floats in the context of challenging trends in the ocean.
Might be interesting to recast the history of TAMU as a series of reportable offenses (not that it is particularly notable in that respect)
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Yeah, compare what they think is cold v Texans, you’ll hate them even more
The wheels of science continue to grind along among all the upheavals. This is good news!
Cool, will be camping there late June
cool, is the problem a lack of data or are we unclear as to the mechanistic response? From my limited GFD perspective (hello sedimentology) increasing planetary wave dynamics presage a shift to a higher quasi-laminar regime, i.e. the jet stream convergence will be much closer to the poll. No data!
A mix of eddies, definitely not Haskell
Looks like you are reverting towards the population mean at TAMU. Did you include an approve/disapprove for Jimbo and current HC?
Hope you collect a great data set, and have great breakfasts
Yes, and also acknowledging that NCAR is a current and future risk ameliorating engine. Insurance and risk spreading mechanisms will increase in cost, impacting all of us directly and generally.
Hmmmm, I have an idea……….
Data from optical sensors that control screen brightness would be a good start to get information on the light field and the diffusion coefficient to move into biogeochemistry (and divers want to know how far they can see)
Now if they just put some optics on the watches…..
Go, go go! Turning smart watches into a tool to solve the variance conundrum: the ocean variance scales increase in the nearshore where most of the human activity is. Lots of small data sets will constrain models, providing feedback that can’t be replicated economically by current sensor tech
I just started a "Running list of press" doc for my startup, because @rejectedbanana.bsky.social and I just had our first appearance in someone else's blog and I'm dreaming big. Look out, world, someday we will have TWO FEATURES 🏆

Lots of work to do on this area of carbon flux, where I started my transition from geology to oceanography.
Go Beavs!
Soybean diesel is a real thing, and probably pencils out much better than corn to ethanol
pick up some manganese nodules next time y'all are down there, you should get plenty of interesting sequences, though the transformation into todorokites probably wipes out some of the 'evidence'
Ah, great idea (we have lots of rinds)
Beans and rice for breakfast is common for breakfast in Nicaragua. Beans are really easy to grow too, and gives me an excuse to shuck and watch tv.
Check out the history of UK coal mining unions for some good lockouts (and the US too).
The same argument holds well for scientific papers, it may be useful to some to read 40/80/100 year old paper, but apart from realizing how little data went into those papers, I can’t imagine it’s terribly enlightening in general
How about “dashing mainstream scientists” ?
I'm not a great fan of that particular lede, and if it went away i doubt it would change much of anything, but I'm not sure why you think it is 'false.' Is the statement "some oxygen in the atmosphere comes from photosynthesis in the ocean" not false?
That thread discussed the current equilibrium and doesn't address [02]atmo at all in terms of origin! [02]atmo is a function of net photosynthesis and (mostly) sedimentation. It took a long time to accumulate 02 in the atmosphere (had to get rid of a lot of reduced Fe, and sequester a lot of C.
