1⃣ The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the world’s strongest, swirling around #Antarctica like a shield from warmer water. But it doesn’t just flow straight. The mountainous seafloor steers the current to create flexing patterns called ‘standing meanders’.

The Earth just experienced its 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆 on record. 🌍🌡️

New @CopernicusECMWF data shows that last Sunday, the daily global average temperature reached a record high 17.09°C 📈

It marginally beats the previous record from 6 July 2023.

For anyone who is sometimes struggling to comprehend the enormous speed of the energy transition towards renewables (myself included), this deck by the Rocky Mountain Institute is a gold mine.

Hope for a sustainable future- reductions in coal power across Europe. Thankyou @OurWorldInData

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

Coal dominated Europe's electricity mix over the 20th century, but it is quickly dying in many countries in the 21st.

The chart shows the share of electricity that comes from coal for a range of countries in Western Europe. The data comes from @EmberClimate.

Transitioning away from coal has helped reduce carbon emissions and local air pollutants.

Nature corridors allow wildlife to move freely through the landscape as they search for food, water and shelter. If we succeed in purchasing Dodgey Downs we’ll be able to connect it to two existing Bush Heritage reserves, Red Moort and Monjebup! 👉 https://t.co/AMWBRONYGf

[Navid C (we moved to new location 🦋) @navid_ocean]

Come work with us at @UniMelb at a multi-university project @21CWeather. We'll have a blast of a time and produce some good science along the way!

Want to monitor changes in temperature globally and wherever you live in near real time?

@CopernicusECMWF have just launched "Climate Pulse".

The govt collects more money from HECS than it does from Petroleum Resource Rent Tax.

Australians pay heavily while fossil fuel companies get richer and fuel the climate crisis. We need to increase the PRRT #auspol

Robotic BGC (=biogeochemical) Argo floats aren't easy to spot in the ocean. Most of the time they're sampling in the deep, coming to the surface to transmit data.

A very welcome announcement of Australian Government funding for the critical shared research infrastructure that enables great discoveries and innovation. Let’s make #NCRIS funding **ongoing** so we can retain our talent and remain at the cutting edge. #research #infrastructure

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

The world has made real progress in bending down the curve of future emissions.

While we remain far from on track to meet our climate goals, the positive steps we’ve made should reinforce that progress is possible and despair is counterproductive.

A call to all people on our beautiful, sick planet
"This is our moment to make a profound difference for all life on Earth, and we must embrace it with unwavering courage and determination to create a legacy of change that will stand the test of time." @WilliamJRipple et al

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

Today @WilliamJRipple et al released the 2023 report on the terrifying state of our #climate.

It should be read by every policymaker, decisionmaker, and journalist on the planet.

Here is a thread of some key takeaways.

Amazing opportunity for seagoing oceanography ECRs/students…

US GO-SHIP (@US_GOSHIP) is  seeking to fill the student/early career positions for the 2024 re-occupation of the GO-SHIP meridional line known as I08 – a hydrographic transect from ~66.5° to 28°S in the southeastern Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. https://t.co/lEeZVWHe67
