Climate Science Serving America Fellowship Our mission is to help the world reach “Drawdown" as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.

Dear Friends,

Please send this to your networks. Project Drawdown is offering full-time, paid (with benefits) fellowships to scientists and engineers working on climate solutions in the public interest.

Deadline is April 17.

Work with me!

Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Brown University invites applications for a Doherty Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ocean Sciences. This competitive postdoctoral fellowship will be awarded for a one-year period, + 2nd year possible. Please see apply.interfolio.com/183855!

Did you send your email to them in German, too?

Finally!!

“Vice President JD Vance thinks aliens are visiting earth and that they are Demons” is the most “I wish Carl Sagan were alive” moment I’ve had in a while.

Any plans to play April 4-5? I may be in the neighborhood.

It is getting harder and harder to think things will be ok again soon.

Ida Lewis Lighthouse Keeper - Steamship Historical Society Learn about women lighthouse keepers of the 19th century including Rhode Island local Ida Lewis, the bravest woman in America.

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! Learn about the history of women lighthouse keepers, 5 of whom worked in RI. Using the example of Ida Lewis, this lesson discusses 19th c gender ideals and how some women came to become lighthouse keepers. Visit shiphistory.org/2023/10/19/i....

Ugh.

Welcome, Melissa!! Looking forward to working with you.

Another great job opportunity for an early career researcher to join us as a chapter scientist on our journey to pull together the best possible chapter on sustainable low-carbon futures for the @ipcc.bsky.social 7th assessment report!

Revolution Wind begins delivering power to New England Built by more than 1,000 local union workers, the project is expected to power 350,000+ homes with affordable, reliable electricity.

Ørsted's 704MW Revolution Wind offshore wind project started delivering power to New England's electric grid yesterday: orsted.com/en/media/new... 🔌💡

Vineyard Wind, country's first large-scale offshore wind project, finishes construction After years of starts and stops, construction on Vineyard Wind, the country's first large-scale offshore wind project, wrapped up this week.

Last night was a big night for offshore wind:

My favorite BBQ just had a loaf of wonder bread at every table.

“Right now and during the past 50 years, we are burning, as you know, quite a bit of coal and oil and natural gas. The rate at which we are burning this is increasing very rapidly. This burning of these fuels which were accumulated in the earth over hundreds of millions of years, and which we are burning up in a few generations, is producing tremendous quantities of carbon dioxide in the air. Based on figures given out by the United Nations, I would estimate that by the year 2010, we will have added something like 70 percent of the present atmospheric carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is an enormous quantity. It is like 1,700 billion tons. Now, nobody knows what this will do. Lots of people have supposed that it might actually cause a warming up of the atmospheric temperature and it may, in fact, cause a remarkable change in climate. We may actually, for example, find that the Arctic Ocean will become navigable and the coasts become a place where people can live, then the Russian Arctic coastline will be really quite free for shipping, as will our Alaskan coastline, if this possible increase in temperature really happens. . . . Here we are making perhaps the greatest geophysical experiment in history, an experiment which could not be made in the past because we didn’t have an industrial civilization and which will be impossible to make in the future because all the fossil fuels will be gone. All the coal and gas and oil will be used up. In this 100-year period, we are conducting, in effect, this vast experiment, and we ought to adequately document it.”

70 YEARS AGO.

March 8, 1956: Roger Revelle testifies to Congress about "the greatest geophysical experiment in history”: “burning, as you know, quite a bit of coal and oil and natural gas” and “producing tremendous quantities of carbon dioxide” which could “cause a remarkable change in climate.”

Are you a young academic working on climate and feel ready for a move? We are recruiting two Assistant/Associate Professors @granthamicl.bsky.social at Imperial College London @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social (1/6)

Yep, it focuses on the pragmatic problems first, which is great!

How many of you academics out there get credit for promotions from reviewing papers?

A Brown University professor helped Apollo astronauts land on the moon. Now he’s helping Artemis return. - The Boston Globe NASA asked James W. Head III to work with the 18 astronauts selected for the first manned mission to orbit the moon since the end of the Apollo program.

Jim Head is training astronauts again.

I'm in a different UK centric town hall at OSM, and a lot of the subtext is about US finding uncertainty...

It would make more sense if 5 were lost. Thanks, Mel Brooks!
