🌍 Fresh dataset of atmospheric rivers just dropped!
After 3 years of work, we proudly present PIKART — 8 decades of user-friendly global AR data.
We really hope it can help to better understand water transport & climate impacts 💨💧
Give it a go: ar.pik-potsdam.de

A great article by the @washingtonpost.com which I’m excited to have contributed to!💦💨
It has really powerful interactive visualisations of how a warming planet is also a moistening planet on which more precipitation-induced disasters strike regions all around the globe🌎

Thanks for having me & showing me all the really cool research you’re doing in Valencia!🙌🏻🌏
👥 This week, we welcomed Tobias Braun, from the Institute for Earth System Science & Remote Sensing (Leipzig University).
🌏 During his talk today, he discussed the potential of complexity science to bridge the gap between synoptic processes and planetary-scale dynamics.
🙌 Thanks for visiting us!

The Arctic is warming roughly 4x faster than the rest of the planet. How do we know how fast it will warm in the future? Models, alright, but palaeo-analogues from the deep past offer real data! In our new study… (1/2)

Abstract. The Miocene provides an excellent climatic analogue for near-future runaway anthropogenic warming, with atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global average temperatures similar to those projec...

Great to see our work in @eos.org ! A good read for the evening! 😇 kudos to all our friends & colleagues that contribute to this ongoing endeavour - there is so much to learn! 🤩 together - always! @thomasopel.bsky.social @juvmcburst.bsky.social @pucicu.de @scitobias.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk
A nearly permafrost-free Arctic? New research from northern Siberian caves holds clues. eos.org/articles/cav...
Cave Deposits Reveal a Permafrost-Free Arctic - Eos
Mineral cave deposits from northern Siberia show that the region was permafrost free during the late Miocene period, when Earth was warmer than today.

A new paper led by Sebastian Sippel just appeared in Nature arguing that ocean temperature measurements in the early 20th century have a cold bias.
It's a fun story illustrating the process of scientific discovery, so let me talk about it a bit. 🧵
