Our recent paper @natgeosci.nature.com shows that over the Med, marine heatwaves are linked to subtropical ridges rather than atmospheric blocking, the typical cause of atmospheric heatwaves in central Europe.

The brilliant ECRs Giulia Bonino and Ronan McAdam led this work!

🌊 Last day of the One Ocean Science Congress #OOSC heading to the UNOC3… lots of good science to back up our decisions. #ScienceForTheOcean

Thanks to @jpgattuso.bsky.social for leading this extraordinary meeting and @froeltho.bsky.social for chairing our session on extreme ocean events!

Recommended read: @al-jazeera-english.bsky.social ran a long-read about efforts led by Brazil’s Indigenous Maxakali community to protect and restore the rainforest in Minas Gerais.
With song and seed, Brazil’s Indigenous Maxakali confront climate change
The Atlantic Forest used to blanket Maxakali territory. But as the forest disappears, the group faces intense heat.

It was indeed a day of great learning from the discussion about the ocean climate nexus! 🌊

I just returned from Hawaiʻi, energised by two fantastic events at the Univ. of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

The symposium celebrating the scientific legacy of Klaus Wyrtki & the ENSO winter school

I made new acquaintances, met old friends & learned a lot!

I have been receiving the sad news about massive NOAA firing.

I cannot explain how important NOAA is for science globally. The data and model outputs generated by NOAA globally allow researchers from countries that don’t have the funding or capability to develop those to do their own science. 🌊🧵

As a Brazilian born during the military dictatorship, I can say this film is also an analogy for what Brazil could have become had it not been for the dictatorship. A beachfront Brazil full of friends and laughter, books and art, cigars, whisky and celebrations… 🧵

And now the heat is on!

We are heading for a 10-day heatwave.

Not fun waking up at 6:00am with 27C already…

Though with a beautiful sky!

Climate change will affect all of us! Two weeks ago it was my turn.

Record-breaking rainfall in Florianópolis where I live reached 390 mm in 36 hours. A similar event in 1995, considered the worst extreme in history, was 165 mm in 36 hours.

We @wwattribution.bsky.social have released a statement.
