Hey astrophysicists, a presence (absence) of KH billows in some astrophysical shear flow doesn't always imply a lower (upper) bound on the local magnetic field strength! See arxiv.org/abs/2510.031...

Nonmodal growth and optimal perturbations in magnetohydrodynamic shear flows
In astrophysical shear flows, the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability is generally suppressed by magnetic tension provided a sufficiently strong streamwise magnetic field. This is often used to infer up...

A great write up of work we did on understanding marine heatwaves in the Chesapeake Bay! This work (a bit outside what I normally study) grew out of a senior capstone project by Skylar Lama, then led by Rachel Wegener for her MS. Super fun to think about such important local issues.
