🏔️ Research from Scripps Oceanography scientist Lia Siegelman finds undersea "storms" are melting Antarctic glaciers from below. Researchers also identified a positive feedback loop in which ice shelf melting caused more ocean turbulence, which in turn caused more ice shelf melting.
Undersea "Storms" Are Melting Antarctic Glaciers from Below
A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored a new study that describes storm-like ocean circulation patterns beneath A...

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats
Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

Are there any soft matter physics researchers here? I am an Editor at Nature Communications and handle soft matter physics manuscripts. I will share published articles here to enhance their visibility. I look forward to more engaging scientific discussions. #SoftMatterPhysics #Academia #Physics
Hi Bluesky! 👋

We already know our followers like climate change (we post a lot of this!), astronomy and archeology research.

What other types of research are you interested in seeing from us?

#30DayMapChallenge Day 11: Arctic

One year of MODIS daily mosaic images

Did you know optical satellites like MODIS usually don't capture images over the poles in winter due to lack of sunlight? The "no data" hole grows as we near the winter solstice - and starts closing once daylight returns

And finally, last new pack of the day, a (so far) very (!) incomplete set for physical oceanography 🌊🧪

Please do let me know if you want to be on it, or if you know someone else who should be!

Red Sea reefs are considered, relatively, heat resistant. Their adaptations are, at times, discussed as key to saving other reef systems - so understanding heat dynamics in this region is critical. 🧪

#oceanographers:
Do you think the subpolar North Atlantic gyre strength is correlated to AMOC strength? If so, what is the sign of the relationship? I have an opinion, but I’ve found articles taking different positions on the topic.

The Oceanography 🌊 feed is back after its Brazilian vacation. Please give it a “like” to increase visibility, even if you dislike the ocean.

Let me know if you’re a marine scientist who wants to be included as a contributor.

Any book/lecture recommendation on ocean numerical models? 🌊😁
