A few years in the making (and many months late), but I am thrilled to share that the last paper from my PhD has been published! Feel free to read the open access paper to learn more about links between subduction and methane hydrate offshore Chile 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

There are very few energy sources in the deep sea to support biology. Seeps (hot and cold) are one of the primary ones, forming local hotspots. The cold seeps form pokemarks, which can expand into channels if a current catches them. 🧪🌊

It’s one thing to have different environmental/health priorities for your foundation, it’s quite another to have been bankrolling one of the primary sources of bullshit on the topic.

A scoop that I’m not happy to report:

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

Interested in improving our knowledge of climate by looking into the past? In the Pliocene the earth was hotter than today, but carbon dioxide was "about the same".

Come work with us in 2026 looking at where this crucial information comes from, and how to make it better during an M2 internship.
Are you looking for a master's internship (5-6 months)?

Constraining tropical planktonic foraminifera depth habitats in a (past) high-CO2 world 🥵🌎

Come to @climatecerege.bsky.social, south of France☀️🇫🇷

Deadline: 15 Nov 2025.

Our best strategy for assessing the efficacy of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) involves running computationally expensive climate models. Here, we developed a statistical technique that encapsulates the climatic response to OAE interventions, simplifying the OAE carbon accounting problem. 🌊🧪
