I can FINALLY share this! Last May, I got to meet Jeff Goldblum and watch him learn about tiny marine organisms from @Woman_Scientist at @Scripps_Ocean for his @natgeo show The World According to Jeff Goldblum. Truly a dream! Check out the episode “Tiny Things” on Disney Plus.

A model by Scripps' Falk Feddersen and colleagues from @EPAregion9 and @Stanford shows that upgrading a sewage plant 6 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border is the most effective way to protect swimmers’ health in #ImperialBeach and other beaches to the north.

The ocean floor is lava! 🌊🌋 In our latest #Wavelengths video, Scripps marine geophysicist Ross Parnell-Turner (@Ross_PT) talks with Scripps alum Kate Furby (@seakaterun) about underwater #volcanoes and his research on seafloor spreading. Check it out! https://t.co/7gYa1U94R5

What do we risk losing if the deep ocean isn’t explored? ‘We won’t know what planet we live on’ says Jyotika Virmani of @SchmidtOcean. We could miss finding lifesaving drug compounds, knowledge of services ocean provides to moderate #climatechange and more.

DYK the world’s longest ocean creature, a 150-foot-long siphonophore, was only discovered in 2020? @SchmidtOcean and scientists like @LlevinAnn from @Scripps_Ocean making the case at @COP26 for deep ocean understanding and protection, another tool that can combat #climatechange

[explorations now @Explorations]

Researchers from Scripps Oceanography and the rest of the @UofCalifornia will keep making the case at #cop26 for protecting future generations from a catastrophe this generation can stop.

[University of California-UNFCCC @UCatCOP]

Ahead of @COP26, @Scripps_Ocean climate scientist Ram Ramanathan, dubbed "the pope's climate scientist," talks with Vatican News on the need for action to alleviate the suffering caused by #climatechange: "“Mother nature is doing her best to tell us, ‘You are hurting me!’"

Dave Pierce at @Scripps_Ocean reports the Northern Sierra 8-stations precip index received 12.7% of the avg-water-yr-total yesterday! The index now sits at 23% of avg-WY-total.

He tracks this & many more Ca-Nv precip stats at
