I am glad to share our latest article on the global genetic diversity of planktonic foraminifera: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…. We have put together all genetic data produced over the last 3 decades to show the true extent of the biological diversity of planktonic forams.

Interesting details on how Sam Epstein secured funding from an anti-smog industrial consortium to kickstart Dave Keeling’s CO2 work.
In 1954 (!) the fossil fuel industry sponsored climate science, and scientists documented the potential problems of increasing CO2 from burning fossil fuels. by @rebecca_John1 @DeSmog desmog.com/2024/01/30/fossil…

Interesting. A deep overturning circulation that requires a Drake Passage but not winds.

There's a 5°C (9°F) temperature anomaly lurking about 50 meters below the surface in the east Pacific right now. Happy Monday! #ElNino @NOAAClimate

I’m recruiting PhD students for Fall 2024 at @CUBoulderATOC! 🌊⛈️❄️🏔️ I’m looking for students interested in the interplay between forced and internal variability in the tropics using some diverse data sources— climate models, instrumental observations and paleoclimate proxies.

🚢 Co-led by INSTAAR Fellow Anne Jennings, ocean sediment drillers on-board @TheJR #Exp400 collected a number of cores off NW Greenland... incl one 978m (3209ft) long! Their work spans a lot of 🧊 ice sheet & 🌊 ocean history. After 50 days at sea, they are heading to port.

Roughly a 1 Sv decline in the 32 Sv passing through Florida Strait. Is it AMOC or the gyre?

Holy cow this Colorado team is good. Hunter is superhuman.
Colorado came in as a 20 point underdog but beat TCU 45-42. Shedeur Sanders set a school record with 510 passing yards and 4 TDS. Travis Hunter played 125 snaps in 100-degree heat, finishing with an INT (as a DB) and 11 catches for 119 yards (as a WR). The Deion Effect 🤯
