In a new study @NatureComms, we show that diabatic heating strengthens ridge blocks, while it dampens dipole blocks in the Northern Hemisphere. It all depends on their shape. Led by PhD student @zhaoyu_liu @PurdueEAPS. Thanks @USCLIVAR blocking workshop. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to be able to link deep-time paleoclimate directly to our present-day and future climates. Let's make paleoclimate more "useful"! With @PaleoOcng @leiwqg and others. eos.org/research-spotl…

I will be hiring a PhD student for Fall 2026 to perform experimental research related to prebiotic chemistry and chemical weathering on early Mars. Please reach out if you are interested!

We are excited that Edmund Kar-Man Chang (@SoMAS ) and Joonsuk Kang (@GeoSci_UChicago) will give invited talks in our AGU large-scale dynamics session! Six days left to submit an abstract and our session is A096: agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prel…

Our recent paper on Nature Geoscience, led by my PhD student Vincent Sassard. This study reveals slab tearing along subducted oceanic plate joints, define as the intersection of oceanic plates from different spreading centers. @PurdueEAPS @PurdueScience nature.com/articles/s4156…

@turbulentjet @PNASNews Congrats to your team Pedram! Super cool results - AI weather models can learn some shared physics across regions!

Can AI weather models predict out-of-distribution gray swan extremes? We report @PNASNews that the answer is NO for global gray swans, YES for regional ones: AI models can't extrapolate but can learn from similar events in other regions during training! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

@MadeleineCuff congrats!!

I honestly think this image of the Pacific #storm would be a great piece of wall art in any #meteorologist's abode!! #storm #weather

Like many university faculty, I write a lot of reference letters. Here's instructions I give to students. Students: many of these practices will make your letters better, improve your relationship with your mentors, and convey more professional behavior. drive.google.com/file/d/1Q-oPT9…

@DrMichaelByrne @univofstandrews @EarthSciStA @UStAResearch Congratulations!!

📣 Storm Ashley has been named 🌀 It’ll be formed very rapidly tomorrow by explosive cyclogenesis (weatherbomb) and bring gales/severe gales on Sunday. Stay tuned

I documented #Milton every hour on the hour. Here’s what it was like:
