🎉 Please join us in celebrating today’s announcement from @macfound that @bvanmooy, a #WHOI Sr. Scientist & Interim Vice President for Science & Engineering, has been awarded a #MacArthurFellowship, also known as a #geniusgrant. 📲 Learn more: go.whoi.edu/van-mooy-award

Exciting times @WHOI thanks to the W. M. Keck Foundation! Hoping this project enables new discoveries under #Antarctica's ice shelves through technology development and collaboration! ecomagazine.com/news/research/…

🎉 Woods Hole celebrated the arrival of the R/V Roger Revelle this week! Operate @Scripps_Ocean-operated ship will use #WHOI as a port through November for Atlantic research. As part of the @unols fleet, research vessels are owned by the @USNavyResearch and funded by the @NSF.

What a week! #WHOI leadership + researchers spent #CapitolHillOceanWeek talking with legislators, federal agencies, and conservation groups about the future of #BlueTech and strategies for ocean-based carbon dioxide removal or #mCDR.

Congratulations Ayana!!

#GulfCoast sea levels are rising at alarming rates. #WHOI scientist @chrispiecuch says the frequency of flooding across the region wouldn't have happened two decades ago. 📲 Take a tour of the impacts with @washingtonpost (subscription required): go.whoi.edu/Southern-Sea-L…

What will it take to fix climate change? Just two (very big) steps. Get a full recap from the President and Director of @WHOI @PdeMenocal's #INBOUND session - where he explained how our ocean holds the key to a sustainable future: bit.ly/3URup6w

My first update of 2024 for changes in land ice mass observed by GRACE(-FO) satellite in Antarctica (left) and Greenland (right) 🧊📉 Methods can be found from @NASAClimate at climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/ic…. My visualization can also be downloaded: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice…

Makes tons of sense, if counterintuitive. Reduced demand is the priority for reduced future CDR obligations.

The Blue Machine paperback is now out 🥳 . This is the story of the ocean - not the things in it but the water itself, the giant engine that defines our world. 'A dazzle of stories beautifully told...Outstanding ... Her readers will see the seas anew.' - Horatio Clare #ocean

👏Congratulations to marine chemist @Chris__Reddy, whose book, "Science Communication in a Crisis," has been recognized with a gold award from the @NonfictionAssoc! Get your copy from the #WHOI Shop: go.whoi.edu/reddy-book

Accepting the 2024 John J. Carty Award for the Advancement of Science is #NASmember Ben Santer of @WHOI and @UCLA for pioneering new approaches to address global climate change. #climate #NAS161 #NASaward Watch live: ow.ly/apkG50RqelY

Dive into the future of our oceans at 'Exploring Ocean Climate Solutions'! 🌊 May 7th at MIT, @ocean_visions Brad Ack, @droceanjulie, Simon Freeman (@ARPAE) & @PdeMenocal discuss innovative approaches to tackle climate change head-on #OceanSustainability #Climatesolutions

@deepseadawn @WHOI Two great ocean leaders!

Attn @whoi @PdeMenocal! 🥰

Is the #AMOC approaching a tipping point? Here's my take after researching this topic for over 30 years. Open access, peer-reviewed, in full colour & understandable for non-experts. tos.org/oceanography/a…

As we look ahead to the @UNOceanDecade first conference next week, it’s worth looking back on the progress we’ve made through the #OceanPavilion at COP28. 📲 Find out why science-based ocean solutions are finally having a moment: go.whoi.edu/ocean-takeaways @kramakrishna247

Are concerns about the impact of #offshorewind on North Atlantic right #whales based on facts– or misconceptions? #WHOI scientist Mark Baumgartner discusses balancing renewable energy goals w/ marine conservation on @scifri! Listen: go.whoi.edu/NARW-Wind 📸 courtesy @WCAI_NPR

Four Arts Revisited @fourarts #Revisited Season 3, Episode 5: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Bob Ballard – Peter de Menocal (2023) Revisited @WHOI @EVNautilus @PdeMenocal fourarts.org/event/revisite…

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current speeds up as the world warms. Check out our new @Nature paper tracing its dynamics over the past 5 million years & what it means for Antarctics's past&future. Shoutout to #Exp383 team @LamontEarth @columbiaclimate @TheJR rdcu.be/dCGmJ

Congratulations Margaret!
