Stumbled across some incredible science-in-the-wild walking home last night in a light snow storm. Every one of those little snow mounds has a big salt crystal in the middle.

I'll put my favorite mechanism in the responses, but I'd love to hear other ideas!

@CodysLab @TheRisingFury Yeah exactly. The main explanation in that is greenhouse effects (though I didn't know the ammonia one!), it says solar mass loss "can not by itself resolve the paradox."

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

@CodysLab @TheRisingFury I thought the silicate weathering feedback (fixing more CO2 when rain increases) dominated that? The sun is like 50% brighter, that'd be an absolutely enormous change in orbital distance. Wikipedia says the sun has lost a few % of its mass which wouldn't move earth 25% farther.

@dwizzy124 Yes.

@szizygy Went through this last week, it was horrible. They even break "print to pdf"!

@dwizzy124 It's spent running routes downfield while they run it up the middle on 1st and 2nd

@ThylacineReport The PhD movie is fun https://t.co/mQFPuosEQV

@dwizzy124 When did you get old?

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

@_absrp @topoerosion Yes! Elena Hartley did it. It was a few years ago so I'm not sure if she's still active, but worth reaching out. This is her website https://t.co/vxLf59yRLS (the second one on the home page was the one for me). Earth science background so understood the important notes to hit.

@dwizzy124 I think I'm out of the loop these days

@YannaiGonch My template has \newcommand{\pir}{\pi r}. Why stop making typos when you can just redefine reality?

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

@visakanv It's still my pinned tweet, and I'm still proud of my 2 am new years musings about snow/salt dynamics on the ground https://t.co/opiBxBc32i

@the_sad_planet @szizygy Old friend abandoned 😭

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

@szizygy Can confirm

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

@szizygy And here I thought you couldn't handle a bit of ice https://t.co/PUC4cTvX5P

As a southern Californian I thought SF was a cold enough spot for a conference—idk who thought Chicago was a good idea, bc ya boi has really had to bundle up

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

@TinySpaceMagnet Welcome!

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

@szizygy It's never just air with this many people around #covidisairborne

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

Ahh yes, air high fives, famously higher-touch than elbow contact.

[Coby (Jacob) Abrahams @cobyabr]

But anyway I'm at agu, let me know if you are too!
