Good point! Building data systems that generate trust is vital: “Data visualization of the performance of algorithms for the purpose of identifying anomalies and generating trust is going to be the a major growth area in data visualization in the coming years.” https://t.co/nEi5qvbo0T

Back in 2020, I thought “haha, wouldn’t it be funny if we did the same headline as we did in 2016 because it’s just the exact same playbook every election cycle, again and again and again?” Now it’s 2024.

Essential biological hotspots need to be protected. Thankfully, the Octopus Garden is protected as part of @MBNMS. But we urgently need to explore the deep sea and protect its treasures, including those we’ve yet to discover.

Here's a thread in pictures about the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC which is making headlines this week. I've studied this topic since 1991 and will show key data and models & some video.

Will the #AMOC collapse by 2025? Here’s what we know from direct observations (since 2004).

Incredible satellite image from space showing all the sediment pouring out into the Pacific from gushing rivers across Northern California.

Also notice the flooded Salinas Valley and muddied waters of the San Francisco Bay and rivers across the Sacramento Valley.

Love this line from @podaac's data tutorials. @xarray_dev "will change your life for the better. You’ll be more attractive, more interesting, and better equipped to take on life's challenges."

It wasn’t able to write data processing software (my job is safe!), but it did write this sweet little story.

[Jinbo Wang @jinbowang]

@MBARIMike You should give it a try, Mike. It is spooky.

[Mike McCann @MBARIMike]

What!?

[Jinbo Wang @jinbowang]

I am joining the freaked-out crowd after chatting with #ChatGPT for three hours today😱. It knows physical oceanography. It can explain QG equation and write it down beautifully in latex. It wrote a beautiful essay describing marine heat wave. It also know #PODAAC and tools.🧵

I sure hope folks are watching Obama's speech in Philly right now. It's uplifting and energizing. I sure miss him!

How does computer science impact ocean exploration? Just ask Danelle, a software engineer @MBARI_news. She has a lot to show us — don’t miss the barrel eye fish! See more careers in CS here: https://t.co/OP46AU9SIm

Congrats to @KakaniKatija and @MBARI_News for their @FathomNet in Nature. Their incredibly ambitious work on creating a visual database of the ocean's creatures is jaw dropping in it's scope and technical innovation. The impact of this work will be huge! https://t.co/7P9lCacPZf
