I am shocked to see this language from the NSF.
“The U.S. National Science Foundation's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Request reflects a strategic alignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment while eliminating woke and weaponized grant programs that previously funded radical DEI projects.”
Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.
Screenshot of text that says: "Important Notice (3/24/2026): NOAA NWS/NCEP has terminated the NCEP/NCAR R1 reanalysis as of March 18th, 2026. NCEP/NCAR R1 has been used as the atmospheric forcing data in the PIOMAS reanalysis . We had not been aware of this change in service which was apparently formally announced Feb 13. 2026. This means that we will have to find alternatives and generate a replacement. It will take considerable effort and time to update data streams, re-calibrate the model and generate updated time series. We don’t yet have a good sense if that’s possible with available funds and if so, when we will be able to resume production of a new PIOMAS time series. While a replacement of the NCAR/NCEP R1 as the forcing product makes ultimate sense, we would have wished for a longer time period to facilitate the transition. We are sorry what this means to our many users. PIOMAS has been in production since March 2010 and we rarely missed updates by more than a couple of weeks (except for government shutdowns). This will be longer. Check back here for updates! "
I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter.
Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...

The United Nations General Assembly this week overwhelmingly backed a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade "the gravest crime against humanity".
Three countries voted against it.
The US, Argentina, and Israel.

An important new bill from @wyden.senate.gov and @balint.house.gov would finally give some teeth to the law that’s supposed to prevent newsroom raids and seizures of journalists’ files.
Tell your lawmakers to support it with our action center.
I’m actually surprised that it took him so long to say it.
Branding environmentalists as terrorists has very apparently been part of the plan all along.

We're about to shatter even more heat records and we're just starting April. This summer is going to be wild. And not in a good way.

Strong recommendation to teaching faculty to just say no to this stuff, even if you are AI curious/enthusiastic. This is meant to reduce faculty autonomy and capture human labor with automation. You're selling out your future self and the profession as a whole. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...
The last 11 years have been the hottest years ever recorded. Earth’s energy imbalance has reached its highest than at any time in observed history, with heat reaching deeper into the ocean. This is the Global #StateOfClimate 2025.

You name the Colorado town, and they probably set a new all-time March record high today.
High and low, east or west, north or south.
And we'll do it again tomorrow. And again on Saturday.

Screenshot showing the Climate Shift Index from Climate Central for March 19, 2026. There is a change in likelihood of CSI 5 across nearly the entire Western USA.
Even in a world of extremes, some events still stand out to me. This is one. All-time monthly records are being shattered.
The size of this ridge across the western U.S. is truly striking for March, and we see a very clear climate change connection.

The next six months could be the ultimate in teachable moments, with rapidly rising prices for oil, and rapidly rising temperatures. And what do you know, we have a midterm exam coming up on November 3.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

It's officially Denver's hottest March day on record.
85° at DIA (and downtown) = hottest March day in 154 years of official records.
And it'll be even hotter tomorrow and Saturday.

3 yrs ago DeSantis and Chris Rufo piloted the academic repression we've seen across the country at Florida's very queer public lib arts college to fight the "feminization" of higher ed.
they ended the gender studies program, fired professors, and 1/8th of the student body left. @us.theguardian.com
youtu.be/vCTRU3c5hwU?... My approach to spatial thinking in education.
I’m not feeling great about the circulating argument that data centers are inevitable, so we may as well tap them to pay for grid expansion. While that may seem shrewd, the notion that infrastructure is “inevitable” has led to a lot of unjust outcomes for hosting communities and beyond (see: dams).
Use our action center to tell Congress to speak out against ICE's detention of Nashville journalist Estefany Rodríguez and any effort to deport her.
