Climate History

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

What are the archives of nature? How do they help us identify, or "reconstruct," the history of environmental change? Dagomar Degroot explains in this short video, part of a series that introduces his new book, "Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean." #ClimateChange youtube.com/watch?v=Nakwu8…

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100. Our paper is out today. 🧵

PODCAST: buff.ly/QDKCeBg How has climate change influenced humanity’s past? What can history tell us about the future? Find out in The Climate Chronicles, a podcast written, produced, and narrated by Professor Dagomar Degroot of @Georgetown University. In the second episode of the first season, “Becoming Human,” Professor Degroot explains the dramatic cooling of our planet that began about 45 million years ago and how life adapted, including humanity’s distant ancestors.

Find out in The Climate Chronicles, a podcast written, produced, and narrated by Professor Dagomar Degroot of @Georgetown University. The second episode of The Climate Chronicles is also the first episode of the podcast’s first season, “Becoming Human.” In this episode, Professor Degroot explores the far-fetched possibility that humanity might not be the first intelligent species to overheat the Earth. He explains how scientists piece together the deep history of climate change on Earth.

Find out in The Climate Chronicles, a podcast written, produced, and narrated by Professor Dagomar Degroot of @Georgetown University. In the introductory episode of The Climate Chronicles, Professor Degroot uses one of the great adventure stories of the seventeenth century – the tale of fourteen men deserted on two Arctic islands – to introduce the history of climate change.

Now @NASA use the climate spiral to communicate how unusual global temperatures were in July 2023. I made the original version in 2016 which was featured in the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics.
