Coupled feedbacks from the tropical Pacific to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation - new paper out this week with @BryamOP @AndreaTaschetto and Agus Santoso - Geophysical Research Letters agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Observations of Australia's climate in September are shocking. Figures show where maximum temperatures were the highest on record, with many areas 3-5C above average. Rainfall deficits are primed for drought. Summer is going to be brutal. bom.gov.au/climate/curren…

One year on! Past and Future Ocean Warming Review by @Lijing_Cheng et al. @MichaelEMann @JanDZika @ProfMattEngland @laurezanna @jfasullo @MercatorOcean @UofStThomasMN @NCAR_Science @AucklandUni @penn_state @UNSW nature.com/articles/s4301…

"How do you tell a bad news story? The conventional wisdom is that you’re supposed to give people hope." My @ConversationUK article on our new @NatureClimate paper about the future of West Antarctica. theconversation.com/increasing-mel…

🧊The Melting of the West Antarctic Ice Shelf may now be inevitable, and experts from @UNSW @UTAS_ @DeformedEarth @UNSW @ProfMattEngland @MonashUni @ariaanpurich @edoddridge & @JpaPitt from @UniofAdelaide explain how worrying this research's findings are scimex.org/newsfeed/is-an…

Great to see our paper in @Nature out last March feature in this new episode of "Just Have a Think". We need to talk about ANTARCTICA...AGAIN!! youtu.be/T0qRoeEcKtY?si…

An El Niño is on the horizon—but what does that mean? Julie Kalansky, deputy director of @CW3E_Scripps, answers common questions about the natural climate phenomena known as #ElNiño that alters weather patterns around the world. ⛈️ scripps.ucsd.edu/news/what-el-n…

Pleased to share this recent study exploring windows of enhanced multi-annual predictability after #ElNiño and #LaNiña events. doi.org/10.1038/s41467… @ProfMattEngland @DrYL_Liu @carlos0delgado @BSC_CNS @ASPECT_project @AXAResearchFund

In this new paper, @DrYL_Liu, @MG_Donat, @ProfMattEngland, @carlos0delgado et al. show that #climate #predictions started during #ElNiño and #LaNiña exhibit higher skill than those started during neutral #ENSO conditions nature.com/articles/s4146…

Update: September 2023 was the hottest September and the largest temperature anomaly in NASA’s temperature record, GISTEMP. Sept. 2023 continued a long-term warming trend caused by human activities, such as increased greenhouse gas emissions. nasa.gov/image-article/…

@OceanRes_UNSW are launching weather balloons across ocean temperature gradients in the seas off Sydney to understand impacts on storms in collaboration with @jasonpeterevans @BOM_NSW @ccrc_unsw #RVInvestigator @CSIRO

With current climate projections, the world will face some 560 disasters per year by 2030. Urgent #ClimateAction is needed to #BreakTheCycle and build a resilient future. More from @UNDRR ahead of International Day for Disaster Risk. iddrr.undrr.org #DDRDay

What does sand loss mean for coastal communities? Scientists at Scripps Oceanography share more about the potential impact of shifting (or lack thereof) sands, and projects that are in the works to protect these communities with @phildiehl of @SDUT. ⬇️ sandiegouniontribune.com/news/environme…
