I just heard some excellent news regarding one of these datasets - the IMLGS (Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geologic Samples) - SESAR2 (www.geosamples.org) has agreed to host it going forward! 🧪⚒️🌊 This is a super valuable dataset - thanks so much to these colleagues for stepping up.

On March 20, staff at NOAA's South Pole Observatory saw their last ray of sun for 6 months.

See our "last light" photo feature to learn about NOAA's research in the South Pole.

I had so much fun chatting with @drlauraguertin.bsky.social and reliving my summer at sea! 🌊

You want to know about this NASA Sea Level Projection Tool, which allows you to visualize and download the sea level projection data from the IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6).

For the first time ever, recorded atmospheric CO₂ has exceeded 430ppm! The last time CO₂ consistently reached today’s human-driven levels was ∼14 Million years ago, with shorter periods of similar levels around 3-5 Million years ago.
1/3
Pattern of CO2 over the past 66 Million years. The curve begins around 720ppm, peaks at 1600ppm 51 Million years ago and then declines toward today when a marked increase in CO2 is observed that is caused by human CO2 emissions.

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.

Successful first week of sediment sampling @marumunibremen.bsky.social, all thanks to a great team and extra luck from the Bremen Town Musicians statue!

And wait- there’s more! (Over 20,000 samples more, to be exact.) Next week, the full #IODP Exp. 403 sampling party begins 👋🏼😁
Brick building with “marum” sign with a grey, overcast sky. A barren tree and bush with brown leaves are in front of the building. Four people stand around a table with a marine sediment core and sampling tools on the table (spatulas, tape, fishing wire, knives, and empty plastic tube for u-channel sample) The Bremen Town Musicians statue at night- which are four animals stacked on top of each other based on the fairytale from Brothers Grimm. A paper sign hangs on a window in a hallway that reads “Welcome to the Sample Party IODP Exp. 403” with a blue forward arrow pointing through an adjacent door. A woman (the co-chief from this expedition) stands on the other side of the window smiling and waving.
