A millennium-long record from Galápagos corals suggests that El Niño is intensifying as the planet warms, with ENSO variability in the eastern Pacific roughly 37% higher than during the preindustrial era. Learn more: scim.ag/4zJ0DTJ

More about the science behind new El Niño research going viral in news this week. Bottomline: El Niño's and their huge costly impacts are likely getting supercharged by human-caused climate change, and will get worse until we stop burning fossil fuels. news.umich.edu/el-ninos-mor...

El Niños more intense over last 40 years than previous 1,000, according to U-M study
As an El Niño of historic proportions is taking shape in the tropical Pacific, a University of Michigan study has found that El Niño events have become nearly 40% stronger in the last 40 years than th...

New paper led by recent Auburn graduate Sarah Barney and w/ @richardsvachula.bsky.social , where we used charcoal to assess the type of vegetation burnt 🔥 in South China during the late Miocene when C4 grasses expanded (funded by @us-sciod.bsky.social; formerly USSSP) doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Just in: UCAR has filed a lawsuit against NSF, the Commerce Dept, NOAA, and OMB to prevent the dismantling of NCAR, alleging "violations of the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act."

Excited to (finally) share my new paper on Pacific SST and western North America hydroclimate during the Holocene! TL;DR They are connected, CO2 and precession both affect hydroclimate.

Big up to @rdzombak.bsky.social for bringing eyes to this story. 🧪 So many people beyond my little cohort of fellows are impacted by slowdowns at NOAA. America is rapidly losing footing as a leader in climate science and we all are paying the cost.

Excited to present my work at #AGU24 on decadal-scale sychronous pan-Pacific hydroclimate extremes over the last millennium! Stop by and learn about what I've been up to lately at Lamont!
Details of my presentation, titled Decadally synchronous Pan-Pacific hydroclimate extremes over the last millennium. It will be on Thursday December 12, 2024 from 11:30-11:40 AM at 102 A-B (Convention Center).
