A striking new finding: 👉 Amazon dieback threshold without major deforestation: ~4°C warming 👉 With severe deforestation: ~1.5°C warming Deforestation weakens the rainforest's ability to generate rainfall, pushing the entire system toward a tipping point. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Robust projections of risks to the Amazon rainforest
Amazonian deforestation is altering atmospheric moisture transport; as a result, even low levels of global warming could trigger dieback of most of the remaining forest.

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

The machines are fine. I'm worried about us.
On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.

Little auks are small Arctic #seabirds that need to find enough food to raise their chicks in a rapidly changing ocean. This #RSOS paper studied their feeding behaviour over seven breeding seasons in Svalbard using GPS tracking, ocean data, and diet samples: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

The RSPB is looking for surveyors to census the UK’s largest Storm Petrel colony on Mousa, Shetland. We need 2-4 volunteers who are comfortable working and camping in a remote location with limited facilities, to help complete playback surveys during mid-July 2026. 🪺🏝️🏕️

It will be spring when this book review is published, but no matter what time of year it is when you sit down to read Naira de Gracia’s The Last Cold Place, you’ll soon find yourself transported to a land of ice, snow, wind—and penguins. Read our full review here: www.aba.org/research-on-...

The White-bellied Storm-petrel trip also gave up one of two deployed GLS loggers. 1st ever track. Aust. to Chile (10K km) and down towards the Antarctica coast. Unprecedented?! So hard to access remote colonies with over 80 island-days available (2009-2025) but only 8 landings possible.#Seabirds 🪶

Think #stormpetrels just wing it to find a meal? 🍽️ Think again! Finally, our study is out: these tiny #seabirds use ocean dynamics to find #foraging grounds in the #WestMed. And guess what? Well-placed #MPAs help keep their ‘favorite restaurants’ open.🧑‍🍳 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
