Chance played a role in determining whether Earth stayed habitable - Communications Earth & Environment Whether Earth remained habitable for over 3 billion years was probably determined by chance as well as by stabilising mechanisms, according to a simulation of thousands of planets each given randomly ...

Life feels so arbitrary sometimes!

The overall SOMOC may weaken in the future, but we don't know this for sure.

Human-induced changes in the global meridional overturning circulation are emerging from the Southern Ocean - Communications Earth & Environment Anthropogenically-induced changes in the global meridional overturning circulation since the 1950s have led the upper overturning cell in the Southern Ocean to expand and strengthen while the lower ce...

The upper cell of the SOMOC may have strengthened while the lower cell of the SOMOC has most likely weakened.

The surface Southern Ocean has gotten saltier. We can detect this from space!

While it is wonderful to see a cartoon in the Guardian talking about Antarctica, the science is badly misrepresented!

Ocean current scientists are very upset and you should be too | First Dog on the Moon It’s bad news for the Antarctic sea ice and everyone who relies on it being there (everyone)

No! The Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation (SOMOC) is very much active! Studies differ on what will happen to the SOMOC in the future, some say it will strengthen while others say it will weaken. But it is true that the surface ocean has gotten saltier.

Why not? Plenty of European Geophysical Union journals follow a similar model and I’ve found it to work really well.

I love your sea ice visualisations! Sorry to hear about the attacks on science and humanities!

Funnily enough, I found hope from reading Merchants of Doubt by Oreskes. Mainly because I learned that we can definitely take action, if the people who are lying to us that we cannot get out of the way!

Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy reading the issue that we have put together for you!

We will feature two more stories from ECRs working on ocean warming in the coming months, stay tuned!

Saranya JS, a doctoral candidate at Seoul National University, talks about her work on marine heatwaves and how she uses art to communicate science to diverse audiences.

Svenja Ryan from WHOI shares insights into her research, spanning the Antarctic, Gulf Stream, and North Atlantic. She also discusses her collaboration with artist Deb Ehrens, who has created stunning sculptures inspired by oceanic processes.

The first issue of the IAPSO ECS Newsletter for 2025 is out now! 🎉 This edition features interviews with Early Career Researchers studying marine heatwaves and ocean warming. They share their career journeys, inspirations, and visions for the future! 🌊 www.iapsoecs.org/newsletter/#...

Merchants of doubt, though enraging, also gave me hope! We can do so much if we stop listening to the lies generated by the fossil fuel industry!

Going to Hobart for the Australian Antarctic conference! Looking forward to meeting friends old and new! 😊 leishman.eventsair.com/aarc/

I hope bsky doesn’t go through the enshittification cycle eventually 🫣

Thanks for sharing that! I’m at the crossroads now and will have to soon make a decision!

Grants should come with the flexibility to update project goals as the study progresses. You can then turn your more interesting side project into the main project! 😀

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

The deep ocean around Antarctica in winter is much warmer than the surface which is at near freezing temperatures (of about -2 deg C).

Oh thank you Manuel! I love all the observations that our friendly seals have enabled!

Hi Manuel! Please add me to the ocean feed, here’s my Scholar page:
