When they announced that #COP30 would be in Belém and all the logistical problems that followed, I was convinced it was a bad idea...

On 09/11 flying to Belém, the plane was packed with foreigners talking and laughing... as we approached landing, we could see the forest, silence took over...

On the opening day of #COP30 here in Brazil, we will be launching this year’s “10 New Insights in Climate Science”
@futureearth.bsky.social , The Earth League & @wcrpclimate.bsky.social

If you are attending COP30 in person, please reach out (agenda in the comments)

Our recent paper @natgeosci.nature.com shows that over the Med, marine heatwaves are linked to subtropical ridges rather than atmospheric blocking, the typical cause of atmospheric heatwaves in central Europe.

The brilliant ECRs Giulia Bonino and Ronan McAdam led this work!

🌊 Last day of the One Ocean Science Congress #OOSC heading to the UNOC3… lots of good science to back up our decisions. #ScienceForTheOcean

Thanks to @jpgattuso.bsky.social for leading this extraordinary meeting and @froeltho.bsky.social for chairing our session on extreme ocean events!

🌊🌡️The frequency and intensity of these triple compound events have increased dramatically over the past two decades, occurring practically every year since 2016. This threatens the capability of marine ecosystems to recover from these compound extremes. Example for the eastern equatorial Atlantic...

🌊🌡️The adverse effects of ocean warming combined with acidification on marine ecosystems can be mitigated by increased food availability. However, this is not possible when extremes of warming and high acidity co-occur with low net primary productivity, i.e., a decrease in food availability.

I just returned from Hawaiʻi, energised by two fantastic events at the Univ. of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

The symposium celebrating the scientific legacy of Klaus Wyrtki & the ENSO winter school

I made new acquaintances, met old friends & learned a lot!

The extreme warming during the summer/fall of 2020 led to the largest bleaching event recorded along the Brazilian coast, with 85% of stony corals and 70% of zoanthids areas bleached in Rio do Fogo.

Marine heatwaves are 5.1 times more frequent and 4.7 times more intense since the records started in 1982, with the 10 most extreme summers/falls in terms of marine heatwave cumulative intensity and spatial extension occurring in the last two decades.

We've just published a study @commsearth.bsky.social about the severe 2020 coral bleaching event in the tropical Atlantic caused by massive marine heatwaves 🌊🌡️🧵

The PIRATA committee is currently facing the challenging task of determining which buoys in the array to keep in the water. This decision will disrupt the long-term series established in 1997.

What a sad way to show that science has no borders.

For many years, I have been involved in the Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) Programme, and I can attest to this. PIRATA is a successful collaboration among the US (NOAA), Brazil, and France. However, its data are assimilated and used by many across the globe.

I have been receiving the sad news about massive NOAA firing.

I cannot explain how important NOAA is for science globally. The data and model outputs generated by NOAA globally allow researchers from countries that don’t have the funding or capability to develop those to do their own science. 🌊🧵

I am proud to have helped interpret this analysis, which highlights the impacts of climate change on land and the oceans 🌊 with great visualisation...

2/3 of the Earth's surface experienced record heat in 2024!

And now the heat is on!

We are heading for a 10-day heatwave.

Not fun waking up at 6:00am with 27C already…

Though with a beautiful sky!

Climate change will affect all of us! Two weeks ago it was my turn.

Record-breaking rainfall in Florianópolis where I live reached 390 mm in 36 hours. A similar event in 1995, considered the worst extreme in history, was 165 mm in 36 hours.

We @wwattribution.bsky.social have released a statement.

#COP29 Painel Nexus Oceano-Clima e Sociedade promovido pela Rede Clima, rede de cientistas ligada ao MCTI discutirá ações de adaptação e mitigação do oceano, incluindo o uso de finanças azuis e cooperação entre estruturas de
governança e convenções para melhor apoiar a capacitação.

So it begins… I am here with the Brazilian science delegation to the running up to COP30. I hope we can do differently in Brazil, with science and people at the centre of COP30…
