In July, I will be teaching in Shanghai at SJTU for their UN Sustainable Development Goals summer school. 9 summer courses are available suitable for any interested students. I will co-teach "The marine carbon pump jigsaw: science, sustainability and management"

Hey astrophysicists, a presence (absence) of KH billows in some astrophysical shear flow doesn't always imply a lower (upper) bound on the local magnetic field strength! See arxiv.org/abs/2510.031...
Nonmodal growth and optimal perturbations in magnetohydrodynamic shear flows
In astrophysical shear flows, the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability is generally suppressed by magnetic tension provided a sufficiently strong streamwise magnetic field. This is often used to infer up...

AI models have transformed weather prediction in recent years. New research might help scientists understand how these models are doing it.
Unveiling What’s Under the Hood in AI Weather Models - Eos
Artificial intelligence models have improved weather forecasting, but their inner workings are largely opaque. A new approach could make their predictions more interpretable by scientists.

An extension of the 3D Lorenz model under the Gay–Lussac approximation
In this work, we explore a class of extensions to the 3D Lorenz (3DL) system by considering an alternative incompressible natural convection model. Famously, th

(Turnip [/ May] was our 0th cat in #Oxford; she is the neighbour's that we couldn't adopt. Glad to see she is still alive and well-ish given she would be about 14 now 🥲)
