Nice article from Nick on the perspective offered by two Earth photos!
Earthrise to Earthset: how the planet’s climate has changed since the photo that inspired the environmental movement theconversation.com/earthrise-to...
Storms that cross exceptionally warm ocean waters intensify more quickly and do more damage than storms that do not

Let’s see how big of a shift that will be.
Now this is awesome.
A spiral bound field guide with a photo of sea star and a sea urchin, written and illustrated by Madelynn DeBest.
An illustrated schematic of the zones of the rocky intertidal and which species live at what depths.
An example page from a spiral bound field guide, open to the entry for bladderwarck, a light green seaweed with little air bladders to help it float.
A field guide entry for an invasive blue crab, showing it to be 9” across.
One of my former students took her final project for my field natural history class and turned it into her Honors thesis: a 100% original, hand-drawn field guide to the rocky intertidal! And she got copies printed for her defense!
Finally - a huge thankyou to Zeb, Marit, Jarmo and Marco - who worked massively hard to make the backend to this process work. This code is all public on github. github.com/iiasa/emissi...
So... now we can breathe again. Let's talk about ScenarioMIP.
The final version is now up on GMD - and there's some changes since the first draft. /THREAD/

This is just so …unbelievable story!
Love her
In a new Nature study, we show that extreme global climate outcomes may occur even under moderate 2°C warming for several sectors.
The findings reinforce the urgency of limiting warming well below 2°C.

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation.
But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times.
Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.”
Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.
Geat points made by Sean Raymond here. Great to see how our work fits in here. Wild Orbits Prime Planets for Life - nautil.us/wild-orbits-...
ICYMI, some good news from @science.org: NASA has revived its next-generation satellite missions, which will study changing clouds and rainfall and use hyperspectral imagery to chart ecosystems, critical minerals, and greenhouse gases.
These are big climate missions, even if NASA can't say that.
Trump is trying to shut down one of the world's premier climate & weather research labs. Why?
A petty beef with a Colorado official who didn't support his effort to steal the election. That's it.
The good thing about jetlag is I have a whole new timeline to acquanit myself with! Nice to meet you folks.
Map of the lower 48 United States showing 0.25° GFS run from 18z on 20 March 2026. The variable is the 500 hPa geopotential height percentile rank considering ERA5. There is a record-breaking ridge across the Western U.S.
Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little.
➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change.

This is the hall where the Kyoto Protocol was signed. It’s impossible not to feel the weight of history and the juxtaposition to current anti-science sentiment. Last week’s CMIP meeting lived up to that legacy—well-organized & rigorous. Perfect blend of historic significance and vision. #CMIP2026
A nice example of the high scientific standard of the IPCC when it comes to downplay the warming
Complex Earth system models are needed to simulate all these feedback's now becoming operational

Fantastic work by Aidan Starr, @ianhall.bsky.social & colleagues published in Paleo Paleo yesterday: Subsurface-to-deep C isotope gradients in the Southern Ocean across the MPT! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
That's a great study. Although I would not go for Gemini.
Have you noticed synchronized SST anomalies between the Pacific and Atlantic in global maps? It’s not a coincidence. According to a new study in Science Advances by Joh et al. (2026), this "oceanic handshake" is directly linked to the retreat of Arctic sea ice. 🌊🧪 ocean2climate.org/2026/03/01/t...
yes!
I dread the comments time.
Goodmorning. Wow.
yaaay! Congrats Ale. Looking forward to more to come.
A poster being held by my friend because I forgot to ask someone to take my photo while it was actually hung up
I crunched the numbers, and Glasgow was almost 1% oceanographers this week. Happy to have given my first ever poster at #OSM2026! 🌊🏴
