Some important differences between the conventional physics-based models (European and American ensembles are 1st and 2nd panels) and the AI models (Google Deepmind operational and experimental ensembles are 3rd and 4th panels). The differences in both track and intensity are obvious. #Isaias

5) Across studies, the timings at which critical amounts of sea-level change occur is often similar for projections published in different eras and using different methodologies (🧵 6/6)

Andra Garner @andrajgarner.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
4) The inclusion of "low-confidence" sea-level projections in IPCC AR6 has greatly improved agreement between high-end sea-level projections from the IPCC and individual studies (🧵 5/6)

Andra Garner @andrajgarner.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
3) The range of the highest global mean sea level projections has broadened since 2007, with estimates since IPCC AR6 ranging from 0.6-2.0 m (🧵 4/6)

Cuts to federal science funding means we’ll be more vulnerable to hurricanes and nor’easters here in the Mid-Atlantic.

If allowed to go through, this will be catastrophic for science in the U.S., and by extension, the global community, given the vital role that the U.S. has played in the scientific community for decades.

When we cut critical Federal funds for science, we all pay the price. The impacts of this loss of scientific innovation will be felt especially acutely in our coastal communities. Check out my latest op-ed, published today in The Philadelphia Inquirer, to learn more! share.inquirer.com/iC6tHv

Progress toward supporting safer, more affordable coastal communities in the face of climate change is at risk from a storm of cuts to U.S. scientific funding.

In our 2024 paper, we show that a warmer climate has made springtime temperatures throughout the state of New Jersey less consistent than in years past, and that temperature variations that do occur are becoming more extreme.

As I've watched temperatures push toward the 90s this week in New Jersey, but see the forecast lows that will threaten a freeze by early next week, it brings to mind the paper that my colleague Dan Duran and I published two years ago. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...
