Nice analyses by Eden Markovitz and Nathan Steiger on recent persistent drought for Easter Island (Rapa Nui). Indeed, the island had one of the more severe future drying trends in our 2016 paper (Karnauskas et al. www.nature.com/articles/ncl...) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

This is cool, 6 million year old ice from Antartica with inferred temperature ~12°C warmer than the late Pleistocene. No CO2 level yet! (That will be highly anticipated!)

Very excited to share our more recent paper published today in @nature.com Communications, where we show based on #clumped #isotope measurements in a giant sea #snail 🐚 that Europe experienced a monsoon-like climate during the #Eocene high-CO2 period.

Our new study finds that the upper atmosphere is becoming more sheared and less stratified because of climate change. Both these changes are making the air less stable and more conducive to turbulence.

🌊 Proxy data + models show the AMOC was shallow during the last ice age, similar to projections for future warming. Its depth is set mainly by AABW density.

The Southern Ocean plays a key role in AMOC strength across climate states.

Jay was on my PhD committee and taught me carbonate geochemistry, and to approach my speleothem problems with patience and depth. I’m deeply grateful for the time I got to learn from him. His influence will always remain a part of my journey. Will miss you, Jay!
A sad piece of news: I am heartbroken to learn that Jay Quade passed away today—a profound loss for our geoscience community. Jay was an inspirational scientist, an exemplary colleague, and an extraordinary human being.

I’ll miss you, Jay! 😞
V v glad to see Prof. Jay Quade—a most wonderful colleague and someone I am lucky to call my mentor—be inducted into the National Academy of Sciences.
