Nor'Easter with strong winds, high waves, coastal flooding & more in today's #weather impacts briefing for the All Hazards Consortium. Using satellite imagery, observations, radar & GeoCollaborate to explain what's happening & help prepare for impacts. youtube.com/watch?v=X8U0Dj…

So What? was what coral reef geologist extraordinaire Dr. Robert Ginsburg always asked his graduate students. Teaching students, posting on social media, giving presentations, or just talking science, explain the so what. Why should people care about what you do or your results.

Grand Cayman voters sank cruise pier development! Fought against this years ago, did local radio, tv. Got trolled. Thankful to some 65% that voted against it. Would have caused huge reef loss, impacted local businesses, jobs. Tourism not the enemy but it needs to be done right.

Severe #weather, anniversary Mount St Helens #eruption, ocean observing @usioosgov & more in today's weather impacts briefing for All Hazards Consortium. More #science, #satellite imagery, and #data to better understand & monitor the world around us. youtube.com/watch?v=nY76GW…

Reauthorization hearing for Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System (IOOS) today. Data provided critical to hurricane forecasting and tracking, fisheries, search and rescue, tourism and recreation industries, maritime safety, monitoring coastal hazards, and so much more.

Sea level rise and deterioration of infrastructure and ecosystem services in Indian River Lagoon, FL by 2050, and suggestions for mitigation in this recent study. doi.org/10.1007/s10113…

Incredible earth scar from the tornado. Homes and businesses in the path of this where not lucky at all.

Check out how much the Gulf & Caribbean have recently warmed! A heat dome in the region is causing above average warmth, high humidity, light winds & abundant sunshine — a recipe for warming seas. And during June, a storm-sparking convective pulse could spawn a tropical system.

8:45 AM Update: Potential for dangerous storms today! Not everyone will see severe weather, but the ingredients are there for tornadoes, damaging hail and destructive winds. Pay attention. Have a plan. Make sure family, friends and co-workers are aware of the risk. #okwx

"Significant severe weather is likely from the central/southern Plains into the the Ozarks today into tonight (May 19). All severe weather hazards are expected, to include tornadoes (some potentially strong to intense), very large hail, and severe winds." -@NWSSPC Discission

After some super busy severe weather days in April, you could be forgiven for forgetting that May is climatologically the peak of severe weather season. Intense weather is primed to impact parts of the Ohio River Valley today. Stay weather aware with the @weatherchannel!

@TydaShark hahaha...love it.

@elprager Greetings again, Ellen. I made an artist’s depiction of your book villain J. P. Rickerton. deviantart.com/tdmaniacxc626/… I did take a liberty or two making him diminutive, and wearing a speedo under his crimson silk robe.

Hurricane Season Outlook & more in latest weather impacts briefing for All Hazards Consortium. Also data for #hurricane forecasts, new @NWS @NHC_Atlantic products such as experimental forecast cone & rip current risks. Please stay weather aware & safe. youtube.com/watch?v=0MbwVc…

Misinformation spreads like clouds in the sky & to State legislation. Contrails are harmless clouds created when planes release heated exhaust in a COLD MOIST atmosphere. No mind control, zombifying stuff here. If #contrails are outlawed, are airplanes, smokestacks illegal?

Not only does this scream unsustainable, but also just imagine the irreversible damage to the seabed and ocean food web. This must be stopped. How?'Each Dot Is A Boat': NASA Astronaut's Picture Shows China's Vast Fishing Fleet @MashableIndia in.mashable.com/science/94078/…

@TomCruise A big detail must be the weather! We'd love to interview you about the role weather plays in your moviemaking and stunt work for our YouTube channel (StormCenter Communications/Dave Jones). Help us get the word out about the importance of accurate weather forecasting and data.

Survival is in the details.

Flood watches in VA, NC, SE FL & Alabama as an atmospheric river moves north and the heat is coming for middle US, all in today's weather impacts briefing for the All Hazards Consortium by Dave Jones, StormCenter Comm. Please stay weather aware and safe. youtube.com/watch?v=Aq6oCb…

Impressive atmospheric river extending some 1,500 miles from the Caribbean Sea to near Washington D.C. on Monday. Rain will be particularly heavy in the Mid-Atlantic on Tuesday.

An evening of laughter about our underwater, on-land adventures. The amazing Dr Sylvia Earle, an extraordinary ocean advocate. We were on team that did maybe first live television interview living undersea. Hope to work together again to showcase importance of the #ocean to all.

@TydaShark Hi Tyler. SO glad you like the books. I loved writing them and getting great feedback like this. Didn't have specific yacht in mind, but can picture it in my head. What do you think it should be? Hope you will write a review and pass the word on, love to get more readers. Thx

@elprager Greetings Ellen. I’m Tyler, I recently got into your three Tristan Hunt books and boy am I hooked. They are very entertaining and you put legit research into the stories. My question is: what type/class of yacht is Rickerton’s prized ship?
