A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️
Critical Hurricane Forecast Tool Abruptly Terminated
U.S. Department of Defense announced Tuesday it would no longer process and deliver data essential to most hurricane forecasts

Trace elements in the ocean attributed to a surprising source
The finding that the sea floor is a source of low-abundance elements in the ocean up-ends conventional views of marine biogeochemistry.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

Fantastic leadership from ASLO (@drplankton.bsky.social and staff):

"It is more important than ever that we come together as a community and push back against attempts to suppress ideas, knowledge and objectivity"

Hats off to @aslo.org. Proud member here - this is the way. This note, and not hiding/removing DEI resources when it's raining.

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu

Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share

Don't let science be hidden
A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

Woo we finally have our preprint out! Using transcripts and proteins collected with a AUV Clio, we found shifts in marine microeukaryotes vertically in the water column and signatures of changing nutrient stress across a coastal gradient: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Does anyone have experience shipping non-hazardous samples on dry ice internationally? Concerned about samples getting stuck in customs, either on the way out the Netherlands or into the US.... Recommendations appreciated!!
