How did Earth’s most powerful ocean current form?
New research led by Hanna Knahl from @awi.de, with colleagues including ACEAS Research Associate Dr @hochmuth.bsky.social from @utas.edu.au, has revealed a surprising finding.

🌊 paper alert !
Global observations suggest that while eddies export carbon to depth, their role in the biological carbon pump is likely modest (<5%)

"Mosquitoes in Iceland are more than a curiosity or future annoyance. They are a warning …" - Amanda M. Koltz and Lauren E. Culler
Iceland—previously the only Arctic nation without mosquitoes—no longer holds that distinction.
"The detection of mosquitoes just north of Reykjavík in 2025 reflects an ecological shift already underway," write Amanda M. Koltz and Lauren E. Culler in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/4tg86pJ
Carbon is transported deep into the ocean by a variety of mechanisms. New research from scientists @princeton.edu shows how much one of those mechanisms—the eddy subduction pump—matters. 🧪🌊 #AGUPubs eos.org/research-spo...

A beautiful orange Specialized carbon gravel bike.
Something really good happened this week. A great NOAA climate scientist is retiring, because too demoralizing to work there now. I decided to fundraise to get him a gravel bike by emailing 80 colleagues (including some of you). 60 people donated 2x my goal, so I was able to get him this beauty. 😍
Japan's beautiful cherry blossom displays are fading as climate change takes hold. Trees in southern Japan are already failing to reach peak bloom, and experts predict Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo will soon face the same problem. @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...
@lizneeley.bsky.social Thanks so much for the concern. Don't write us off yet. Tons of solicitations were archived last year at the same time as LTER and are now coming back. The program is still going.

I'm giving a lecture soon to library/informatics students on "what do oceanographers do/how oceanographers use data". Ocean colleagues, what should I put in it? (I have lots of thoughts about python, the copernicus data service, and, of course, the autonomous pinniped bathythermographs)
