Introducing "TEXAS" — a PSM for #TEX86! Culture & mesocosm data constrain T response above 30°C. Ring Index brings culture/mesocosm GDGTs into agreement with coretops. Not linear, not exponential — the T–GDGT relationship follows a logistic S-curve. Preprint: tinyurl.com/2kfadt9p Stay tuned!

This fellowship was a huge part of the reason I am continuing to do climate science, and it has supported so many incredible people. These effects on early-career researchers, who do some of the most impactful work, is going to have long-lasting implications for science and scientists.

The Trump assault on science is an assault on scientists - an assault on their careers and dreams, their lives and their families. It is a waste of training and talent. It impoverishes all of us.

The Dept of Commerce has forced the NOAA C&GC program (which supported my postdoc) to furlough their postdocs. Postdocs are at a precarious career stage - folks move across the country/world, often w/o much of a local support network

One of the things that makes this Fellowship special is that unlike NSF fellowships it is open to non-citizens, with the aim of retaining climate science talent in the US. The furlough creates significant problems for non-US postdocs in how it complicates visa status 😳

With each passing day, this administration further degrades U.S. scientific capabilities. If we stop collecting climate data, it will not alter reality. It will make us less prepared to address the damage & pain human-induced, climate change generates. This does not make us great. 🧪🔌💡🌊 ☀️💨🔋
Dear Colleague,

The National Snow and Ice Data Center was informed yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will cease processing and delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025.

Impact on Data Products:
Since SSMIS data serve as input to the Sea Ice Index, this product will also stop processing by the same date.

What This Means For You:
Our records indicate that you use this dataset. Users should expect a gap in data availability during the transition to alternate sources. We understand this sudden change may significantly disrupt your operations and research. 

Our Response:
We share your concern about this abrupt timeline and are actively evaluating possible alternative data sources, including AMSR2. We will communicate updates as soon as they become available. 

AMSR2 Alternative:
Users may wish to explore the AMSR2 portion of the Near-Real-Time NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration. As documented in NSIDC Special Report #27, the AMSR2 data are a prototype and are not yet fully intercalibrated with the older data. Users will notice differences in sea ice extents because AMSR2’s higher resolution provides better ice edge detection than SSMIS. These data may serve as an interim alternative while we develop a fully intercalibrated version of AMSR2 for the Sea Ice Index.

We are committed to supporting you through this transition. Please reach out to nsidc@nsidc.org with any questions or concerns.

Warm regards,
NOAA@NSIDC

Comic. PERSON: It’s weird how, despite being one of the main branches of the tree of life, no archaea species are known to cause disease in humans. PERSON WITH SHORT HAIR: Personally, I think it’s because those gross methane breathers are too weird and incompetent to figure out how to hurt us even if they wanted to.
