🏔️ Research from Scripps Oceanography scientist Lia Siegelman finds undersea "storms" are melting Antarctic glaciers from below. Researchers also identified a positive feedback loop in which ice shelf melting caused more ocean turbulence, which in turn caused more ice shelf melting.
DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.
NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.
This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
This place could use a chunky dose of delicious satellite imagery.
So here are some of my favorites I've shared over the years.
Impossible to not start with the unbeatable, the epic...

Are there any soft matter physics researchers here? I am an Editor at Nature Communications and handle soft matter physics manuscripts. I will share published articles here to enhance their visibility. I look forward to more engaging scientific discussions. #SoftMatterPhysics #Academia #Physics

PICUP Fall 2024 Webinar Series: A discussion on teaching Machine Learning for the Physical Sciences Viviana Acquaviva, Professor of Physics, CUNY NYC College of Technology Tuesday, November 12 at 4 pm PDT | 5 pm MDT | 6 pm CDT | 7 pm EDT Join via Zoom I hope to openly and collectively discuss the practice of teaching Machine Learning for the Physical Sciences. I will briefly review some of the challenges I have encountered and the lessons I have learned, and describe the pedagogical materials I have developed, including a textbook, programming notebooks, review quizzes, and slides. I will then transition to an interactive format where we discuss how these resources can be adapted to different users' needs.
I am speaking/leading a discussion about teaching Machine Learning in the Physical Sciences tomorrow, Nov 12 at 7pm EST! Will share the resources I have put together (textbook, notebooks, slides, assignments, online courses) and my challenges. Join us + spread the word 🙏 www.compadre.org/PICUP/
#30DayMapChallenge Day 11: Arctic
One year of MODIS daily mosaic images
Did you know optical satellites like MODIS usually don't capture images over the poles in winter due to lack of sunlight? The "no data" hole grows as we near the winter solstice - and starts closing once daylight returns
Starting my Bluesky life by resharing this six-day time lapse movie of Dictyostelium discoideum we took a few years ago.
Map of shaking intensity of Cuba earthquake
Shallow M6.8 #earthquake offshore Cuba just now, strike slip faulting, yellow alert for estimated economic losses and fatalities. 🧪⚒️

And finally, last new pack of the day, a (so far) very (!) incomplete set for physical oceanography 🌊🧪
Please do let me know if you want to be on it, or if you know someone else who should be!

An image features a man sitting on a white bucket, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a blue plaid shirt. Text above him reads "Schrödinger’s Immigrant". To the left and right of him reads “Lazily collecting all the welfare” and “but also somehow taking all the jobs”, respectively.
From the other place.
Red Sea reefs are considered, relatively, heat resistant. Their adaptations are, at times, discussed as key to saving other reef systems - so understanding heat dynamics in this region is critical. 🧪
#oceanographers:
Do you think the subpolar North Atlantic gyre strength is correlated to AMOC strength? If so, what is the sign of the relationship? I have an opinion, but I’ve found articles taking different positions on the topic.
Nice to meet you Kevin!
The Oceanography 🌊 feed is back after its Brazilian vacation. Please give it a “like” to increase visibility, even if you dislike the ocean.
Let me know if you’re a marine scientist who wants to be included as a contributor.
Thank you very much Malin! All of this will be very useful!
Oh that sounds great, thank you!
Any book/lecture recommendation on ocean numerical models? 🌊😁
