I’m a climate scientist

People don't realize this but there's an extinction level event happening at US universities right now. My old department at Harvard cut the number of new PhD students by 75%, most of those were American trainees.

American science is falling off a cliff.

My NSF postdoc opportunity was once due yesterday, the first Monday in February, but has been archived since last week, which has made this one of the more painful and frustrating weeks of my academic career yet

[MIT EAPS @eapsMIT]

You have until October 24th to see a comet with the naked eye! Tim Brothers from the Wallace Observatory recommends giving your eyes time to adjust and to get away from lights if you want to go see this once-in-a-lifetime event.

The polar vortex elongated and weakened over Antarctica in July and August 2024, causing rare warming events in the stratosphere – the second-lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere. https://t.co/tmQ5r2zSTm

Scientists are still investigating the cause of these sudden warming events.

Until this heatwave... Sweden 🇸🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴 had never hit > 30 °C in September. New national records have been set and by huge margin.

Extraordinary weather pattern in Europe right now.

I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard.

Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.

Check out this short piece sharing our experience building CryoCloud - it's hard to do both science and software :)

Eldgos er hafið á Reykjanesskaga. Neyðarstigi var lýst yfir skömmu eftir klukkan 21. Í aðdraganda eldgossins jókst skjálftavirkni og þrýstingsbreyting varð í borholum HS Orku. Unnið var við varnargarðagerð en svæðið hefur verið rýmt.

mit finds that despite all efforts to recruit and offer financial aid to disadvantaged and low-income applicants in non-race-based ways, there are now fewer black first-years enrolling at mit than in ... 1982

Happy to announce the publication of a special issue on geomorphology and glacier/ice sheet behaviour! 🧊🏔️

We have 22 research articles, covering a range of timescales, spatial scales, methodological approaches and glacial processes.
