Leaf Wax Hydrogen Isotopes Reflect Storm Track Position Over Western North America We analyze modern leaf waxes in near-shore marine sediments spanning a north–south transect along the coast of western North America Leaf wax hydrogen isotope values become more negative at the l...

We have a new paper out in Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology showing that the latitudinal gradient in leaf wax hydrogen isotopes over western North America reflects the mean climatological position of the storm tracks. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Contrasting evolution of the Arabian Sea and Pacific Ocean oxygen minimum zones during the Miocene - Communications Earth & Environment The Arabian Sea and eastern tropical Pacific oxygen minimum zones were better oxygenated during the warm Miocene, but with regional complexities, according to analysis of trace elements and nitro...

🚨New paper out with @alexauderset.bsky.social! We show that the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) was better oxygenated during the warm Miocene Climate Optimum than today, but its path to full deoxygenation was slow and complex.

In a large conference room full of people, the audience doesn't fit entirely in the frame of a photo. Nearly everyone pictured is standing.

At an @agu.org Town Hall today, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social President Antonio Busalacchi spoke to #AGU25 attendees about what's at stake if NCAR is dismantled.

One attendee asked anyone who uses NCAR research to stand up. Almost everyone in the room stood.

Cosmic dust reveals dynamic shifts in central Arctic sea-ice coverage over the past 30,000 years Arctic sea-ice loss affects biological productivity, sustenance in coastal communities, and geopolitics. Forecasting these impacts requires mechanistic understanding of how Arctic sea ice responds to ...

Huge paper for the Arctic Ocean published today in @science.org - a new 30,000 year history of Arctic Ocean sea-ice cover reconstructed from the accumulation of cosmic dust-derived helium-3! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/n)

No astronomy per se in this week's issue of @science.org, but there is a fascinating study by Pavia et al. that uses cosmic dust to trace sea ice coverage in the Arctic. 3He from micrometeorites records when the ocean was ice free, over the last 30,000 years. 🧪🌊

Thanks to my coauthors and mentors for their support — and stay tuned, more is coming!

The NSF cuts are nothing short of a scorched-earth attack on US science, orchestrated w/political cynicism & total disregard for US scientific leadership. A 7% success rate doesn’t incentivize innovation; it tells researchers to take their talent elsewhere.
nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

Trump administration cuts to NSF will result in more than 200,000 FEWER people per year involved in basic science, training, and education - what should have been the next generation of US scientists. This isn't even eating your seed corn, it is setting your seed corn on fire and salting the earth.
