In a recent @CBSNews article, Amy Baco-Taylor, a professor in @FSU_EOAS, discusses the significance of a groundbreaking discovery โ the world's largest whale graveyard.
Located at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, the area is home to fossils up to 5.3 million years old, and one previously unknown extinct species of whale was identified. Also, the site is illuminating scientists' understanding of sea life like jellyfish, brittle stars, bone-boring worms, and more that thrive despite harsh ocean floor conditions.

Did you feel that? ๐ซจ Some Tallahassee residents report feeling light shaking yesterday afternoon after a 6.1-magnitude earthquake in western Cuba.
@abc27 spoke to Vincent Salters โ @FloridaState professor of geology in @FSU_EOAS and director of the @NationalMagLab's Geochemistry Program โ for an expert's insight.

A special congratulations to our 15 honors medallion recipients from @FSU_EOAS!
Nearly half of the 548 @FloridaState Spring 2026 graduates who earned honors medallions are from @FSUartssciences! ๐
Honors medallion awardees completed the University Honors Program or Honors in the Major Program. Those who completed both programs with a 3.9 cumulative GPA or higher received the designation of Outstanding Senior Scholar.

New @FloridaState research published today in Science Advances demonstrates a new framework for predicting the motion of kilometer-scale underwater waves that complicate satellite readings of the ocean. ๐
Led by @FSUCOAPS' Yadidya Badarvada, this work allows for observations of the Earthโs ocean circulation that are about 60 percent more accurate.

"It's the landfalling hurricanes that matter, not the number of hurricanes per season, in terms of human impacts."
A recent @washingtonpost article quotes Mark Bourassa (@FSU_EOAS and @FSUCOAPS), who discusses hurricane-related risks amid federal weather forecasters predicting a slower season.

With the start of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season just around the corner, @FloridaState researchers and emergency management specialists held a media briefing on Wednesday to discuss hurricane preparations, forecasting, and the expanding role of artificial intelligence in disaster response. Here are five key takeaways from the discussion: fla.st/HTPO5NWN

.@nytimes recently interviewed Michael Diamond for an expert's opinion on the scientific soundness of releasing tiny particles into the atmosphere to block solar radiation and cool the planet.
Diamond is an assistant profess or of meteorology and environmental science in @FSU_EOAS, who studies how aerosol particles affect the climate.

.@FloridaState in @abc27 โถ๏ธ A new research project by Ming Ye (@FSU_EOAS / @FSUSciComp) will employ a robot called Sunfish and human divers to create 3D maps of a cave system spanning nearly 45 miles beneath Leon and Wakulla counties.
This work aims to find the water sources feeding into the Wakulla Springs basin, which provides drinking water to nearly 10 million people.

The Atlantic hurricane season is just around the corner, and @FloridaState faculty are leaders in the study of forecasting, evacuation, insurance and building resilience against hurricanes.
From @FSUartssciences, Mark Bourassa, Chelsea Nam and Emily Powell are available to speak with media through the 2026 hurricane season and beyond.
Bourassa is a professor in @FSU_EOAS and associate director of @FSUCOAPS. He is an expert on the network of global meteorological and oceanographic observations that inform forecasts, and the identification of tropical disturbances, which are possible precursors to tropical cyclones.
Nam is an assistant professor in @FSU_EOAS, who researches formations and intensification of tropical cyclones and the hazards brought by these storms. She uses radar data from airborne, shipborne and land-based sources to develop high-resolution models tracking cyclones.
Powell is an assistant state climatologist with @FSUCOAPS. She provides information about the historical and current climate and weather of Florida for application across a range of sectors and industries.

Earlier this year, @theAGU highlighted a publication led by Charles Fite, who earned his doctorate through @FSU_EOAS in 2023! He's presently a research scientist for @NOAA. FSU Associate Professor Christopher Holmes and Postdoctoral Scholar Holly Nowell are coauthors on the work.
In JGR: Atmospheres, scientists present the GOES Eastern U.S. Fire Emissions (GEUFE, pronounced โgoofyโ) inventory, which improves fire detection using frequent observations from the GOES-16 satellite.๐ฐ๏ธ
