Our fieldwork doesn't only happen at sea!
C-CoMP researchers working with @maratimes.bsky.social collected Providence River water to test extraction methods for samples collected on C-CoMP cruises. In terms of filtering speed, 5 L of Sargasso sw = 50 mL of Providence River water!

Earth scientists know a lot more about getting out of an ice age than going into one. We report an episode of AMOC slowdown at 115 thousand years ago that's likely astronomically forced (via sea-ice) and coincides with a delayed drawdown of atmospheric CO2 @natcomms.nature.com rdcu.be/eALD1

The Secretary of Commerce's new policy requiring his personal review of all NOAA contracts over $100,000 is directly harming American science. 🧪
How do I know? Because this morning, twelve of America's rising leaders in climate science (including myself) were furloughed.
