Today was a long day for Beal Lab team in FL Straits! Successful deployments of P0, CM0, P1, CM1, CP2, P3, and CM3, all with their own CTD. Fair weather and a clean job. Congrats and deep gratitude.

Global warming is set to cross 1.5°C, pushing climate risks and impacts to increasingly dangerous heights, a new UNEP report warns. Predicted impacts include extreme weather and threats to human health and economies.

We know what is right and good, but our choices and actions are corrupted by the capitalist system and corporations we serve. As individuals we cannot prevail, but as a society we can demand that humanity and nature have capital in the system. Capital that reflects how life itself depends on them.

🌊 Boosted stratification in the warming ocean will make quiescent regions more stagnant, while making eddying regions more turbulent.

🌊🌏🧪🌀 The ocean is eddying more. Eddies are ocean weather systems. More eddies = more extremes in the ocean.

I’ve led over 20 expeditions to the open ocean, chasing how currents are changing as our climate warms, only to find the answer lies at the smallest, most chaotic scales. Eddies are reshaping even the mightiest currents and bringing more extremes to coastal seas. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Lisa Beal @letstalkocean.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

🌊 My new paper with Kathryn Gunn comes out in Nature Climate Change tomorrow! We find that more eddying in the ocean is boosting hidden upwelling in western boundary currents, which is cooling and accelerating shelf-slope circulation and potentially straining coastal ecosystems.

🌊🧪🌏 Let’s get nerdy-poetic about the ocean to start our week off right! I love that the ocean is full of contradictions. It is one and many, it is constant and forever changing, it is serene and wild, it is known and unknowable, it is vast and empty and full of life. It is ocean and it is Earth!

We have enough natural energy on this spinning planet to fuel humanity. The science, math, and tech turned out to be the easy part. Overcoming our fear and standing up to entrenched money and power have turned out to be way more difficult.

Our hedonism and material wealth comes at great cost to the natural world that sustains our bodies and souls. This tension is almost unbearable. So why don’t we ease it? Give up fossil fuels, formalise the monetary value of nature, and embrace greater global equity.
