I’m an early career ocean and atmosphere PhD with an interest in climate change and extreme events, especially tropical cyclones. And a late career reliability engineer. Also anything to do with surfing, music and literature.

A remarkable sediment core from a unique marine sinkhole in the Caribbean has revealed the history of tropical cyclones in the area over the last 5,700 years.
Results show an unprecedented increase in frequency, attributable to recent climate change.

An annually resolved 5700-year storm archive reveals drivers of Caribbean cyclone frequency
The longest sediment core (30 m) from a marine sinkhole provides an excellent cyclone-frequency record for the past 5700 years.

"Conflict escalation, particularly increased one-sided violence against civilians, is more likely in areas directly impacted by tropical cyclones," write Elizabeth Tennant and Elisabeth Gilmore for NSB.

🌍❄️ Permafrost melt = $51B bill?
A new study finds Alaska’s thawing permafrost could cause up to $51B in infrastructure damage by 2064.
Roads and buildings on frozen ground are cracking - yet national risk models still ignore this hazard.

Permafrost thaw-related infrastructure damage costs in Alaska are projected to double under medium and high emission scenarios - Communications Earth & Environment
In Alaska, building and road damages due to permafrost thaw hazards could cost 37 to 51 billion US dollars by mid-century under medium and high emission scenarios, according to an analysis that uses s...

My friend from graduate school found out that funding for her NF1 project got pulled. From $25 mil to 0 with a stroke of a pen. NF1=Neurofibromatosis Type 1, an inherited genetic disorder. Both of us are early career scientists. 🧪🔬🧬 #Science #AcademicSky
