Welcome to the official X account for the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science at Florida State University.

[FSU Arts & Sciences @FSUartssciences]

New @FloridaState research published today in Science Advances demonstrates a new framework for predicting the motion of kilometer-scale underwater waves that complicate satellite readings of the ocean. 🌊

Led by @FSUCOAPS' Yadidya Badarvada, this work allows for observations of the Earth’s ocean circulation that are about 60 percent more accurate.

"It's the landfalling hurricanes that matter, not the number of hurricanes per season, in terms of human impacts."

A recent @washingtonpost article quotes Mark Bourassa (@FSU_EOAS and @FSUCOAPS), who discusses hurricane-related risks amid federal weather forecasters predicting a slower season.

With the start of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season just around the corner, @FloridaState researchers and emergency management specialists held a media briefing on Wednesday to discuss hurricane preparations, forecasting, and the expanding role of artificial intelligence in disaster response. Here are five key takeaways from the discussion: https://t.co/3zMWEgtbiz

.@nytimes recently interviewed Michael Diamond for an expert's opinion on the scientific soundness of releasing tiny particles into the atmosphere to block solar radiation and cool the planet.

Diamond is an assistant profess or of meteorology and environmental science in @FSU_EOAS, who studies how aerosol particles affect the climate.

.@FloridaState in @abc27 ▶️ A new research project by Ming Ye (@FSU_EOAS / @FSUSciComp) will employ a robot called Sunfish and human divers to create 3D maps of a cave system spanning nearly 45 miles beneath Leon and Wakulla counties.

This work aims to find the water sources feeding into the Wakulla Springs basin, which provides drinking water to nearly 10 million people.

The Atlantic hurricane season is just around the corner, and @FloridaState faculty are leaders in the study of forecasting, evacuation, insurance and building resilience against hurricanes.

From @FSUartssciences, Mark Bourassa, Chelsea Nam and Emily Powell are available to speak with media through the 2026 hurricane season and beyond.

Bourassa is a professor in @FSU_EOAS and associate director of @FSUCOAPS. He is an expert on the network of global meteorological and oceanographic observations that inform forecasts, and the identification of tropical disturbances, which are possible precursors to tropical cyclones.

Nam is an assistant professor in @FSU_EOAS, who researches formations and intensification of tropical cyclones and the hazards brought by these storms. She uses radar data from airborne, shipborne and land-based sources to develop high-resolution models tracking cyclones.

Powell is an assistant state climatologist with @FSUCOAPS. She provides information about the historical and current climate and weather of Florida for application across a range of sectors and industries.

James “LJ” Dunphy, who was recently awarded the @NOAA Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship, was interviewed by @foxweather on his work to develop AI weather forecasts that are more accurate and less computationally demanding than traditional forecasting methods.

Dunphy is a sophomore at @FloridaState double majoring in meteorology (@FSU_EOAS) and applied mathematics (@FSUMathematics).

Earlier this year, @theAGU highlighted a publication led by Charles Fite, who earned his doctorate through @FSU_EOAS in 2023! He's presently a research scientist for @NOAA. FSU Associate Professor Christopher Holmes and Postdoctoral Scholar Holly Nowell are coauthors on the work.

[AGU (American Geophysical Union) @theAGU]

In JGR: Atmospheres, scientists present the GOES Eastern U.S. Fire Emissions (GEUFE, pronounced “goofy”) inventory, which improves fire detection using frequent observations from the GOES-16 satellite.🛰️

The @UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (@UNDRR) recently highlighted new research by a team of @FloridaState scientists — including lead author and recent @FSU_EOAS alumnus Michael Secor (slide one) and his doctoral mentor and Professor of Meteorology Ming Cai (slide two).

The researchers discovered how to more accurately predict winter weather forecasts months in advance, affording sectors such as agriculture, water management, energy use and public health a longer lead time to prepare for inclement conditions.
