Exciting to see our Ross Ice Shelf study highlighted by Eos! @eos.org @jgroceans.bsky.social
Using the first long-term hydrographic observations beneath the ice shelf, we reveal supercooled water intrusions and distant polynya influences.

Come to Sweden! We are kicking off the new Swedish research school in Polar Science this summer, and under that umbrella there are currently a number of PhD positions announced (more on the way). Read more, and apply, here:

Shares = eternal karma
🌊
Nominations need to be via my department, and timeline is extremely short (a week from now). Scientific achievements need to be "Highly excellent" as defined by the Swedish Research Council. There will be further calls 2026. (2) of (3)
Please
Haha 😬

Very happy to share these news! Ran II is on the way. We can continue to pursue the fascinating research questions, with our amazing collaborators throughout the world! Hurra!!!

🚨 #NOAA is essential for weather forecasting, climate research, and public safety.
AGU stands with the scientific community in urging Congress to protect and strengthen NOAA, not dismantle it.
Our economy, environment, and safety depend on it.
A Pacific MOC (PMOC) will develop in the future to counterbalance the AMOC weakening. However, the sinking associated with the PMOC is not strong enough to completely compensate for the upwelling in the Southern Ocean; thus, the AMOC will not collapse: 🌊🥼❄️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
”Such censorship and political suppression of language, research topics, and methodologies…. fundamentally compromise the integrity of scientific and scholarly endeavours not just in the U.S. but around the world.”
👏👏👏

Paper out @agu.org!
Overall, global fjords are minor sources of #N2O to the atmosphere
❗ BUT fjords with #aquaculture and #anoxia host relatively high nitrous oxide #emissions

Some people on this and other social media platforms have been claiming that something dramatic is about to happen at Thwaites Glacier, and implying that this will result of an abrupt rise is sea level within a few years. So what's really going on? 🧵🧪
We are so pleased to share that our first long form multimedia article is officially live! We are honored to have worked with Unangax̂ multimedia creator Kanesia McGlashan-Price as she told the story of Shayla Alamax̂ Shaishnikoff, an Unangax̂ scientist.
TL;DR ice shelves melt in weird and wonderful ways, most of which aren't represented in our ocean/ice sheet models (and should be!)

Awesome list! Is there room for me too? :)
I’m very excited to finally share the results of a passion project that has been on my mind for nearly a decade. You can find the pre-print below, but what follows is the saga of how this project came to be:
Väldigt coolt och intressant - och bra intervju med Margareta Hansson på Stockholms Universitet. Läs om den äldsta isen
Forskare har tagit upp en 1,2 miljoner år gammal isborrkärna – något som beskrivs som ”ett historiskt ögonblick för klimat- och miljöforskningen”. Läs Anna Liljemalms reportage om en Noaks ark för isprover:
Here's what the platelet layer looks like from underneath: untold billions of individual ice crystals float up from the water column to accumulate against the base of the sea ice above them. The crystals deposit like grains of sand, creating ripple & billow structures.

This will get a bit lost in the shuffle of everything, but glaciologists in Antarctica have finally drilled a continuous ice core stretching past 1 million years. Congrats to the Beyond EPICA team! Can't wait to see the results.
Congrats to all around good (also v. smart) guy Richard Alley!
He didn’t need to, but he recently helped me out of a really tight spot. I think he helped me because he’s a great person and wants to help science and scientists. Need more like him out there!
🌊 Cannot cover publication costs @jgroceans.bsky.social?Ask for a fee waiver. Society journal fees reflect the cost of enduring scientific quality and integrity: Decades of honing and encoding best practices, professional QC, record-keeping and conflict resolution, forever-archiving.
Weekly climate update. Research results show that sea ice concentrations around Antarctica have been reduced “by up to 80%…accompanied by an unprecedented doubling of mid-winter ocean heat loss” causing increased storminess and potential impacts on ocean circulation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy Holidays from the SOCCOM (soccom.princeton.edu) and GO-BGC (go-bgc.org) projects. The present under the tree? 115 BGC-Argo profiling floats deployed this year and more at sea. All data freely available.
Thanks to all the folks who made this happen and the US NSF for their support.

🌊 We're hiring! Seeking someone working on air-sea interactions to come join us at Scripps. Happy to answer any questions about the job or life at Scripps. apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF03874
At the invitation of @eleanorfrajka.bsky.social, I'll be teaching this 2 week graduate course in person:
Ocean/Atmosphere Time Series Analysis
Univ. of Hamburg
17-28 March 2025
If you are based elsewhere, you can still come, at no cost.
Details & application:

With an exponential growth in publications, are we advancing ocean science faster than ever before? As EiC @jgroceans.bsky.social I see better analyses on bigger data, but often at the cost of reflection on previous studies and of articulation of the most important gaps in our understanding.
