My first main authored paper is out today! 🧪🔬
We explore the role that distant ENSO teleconnections to the North Atlantic have in interrupting the dynamics that link the NAO to winter SST variability in the Red Sea.

1,019 glaciers have disappeared since 1973 in Switzerland! ✝️
1st nationwide assessment of vanished glaciers:
>40% of the glaciers inventoried in 1973
~13% (47±3 km²) of total glacier area loss! 🧊🔥
But, as it is based on the latest inventory (from 2016), the actual figures are far much higher! 📈 😰

Video shows lava shot over 1,000 feet into the air from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Sunday. The impressive eruption was accompanied by a "volnado," or a tornado-like swirl of dust and ash caused by the contrast between the heated air near the lava and the cooler ambient air.

A damaging hurricane in a warmer world
How would a major hurricane that hit Jamaica in 1903 be different today, in a warmer world?
It would drop more rain. (At least)

And so unto us, the word of the Lord "Go Bills"
This is a real: Pope Leo XIV was gifted a Buffalo Bills jersey.
The Diocese of Buffalo said Bishop Fisher met with the Pope on Monday to discuss the ongoing bankruptcy filing, among other issues.
Pope Leo was said to have "expressed his gratitude for this symbol of hometown pride." #billsmafia

However, today I learned how easy it is to get way off track. After introducing katabatic winds and sea ice I somehow ended up telling the story of Orpheus and Eurydice…
