“Past foraminiferal acclimatization capacity is limited during future warming”

led by Rui Ying

Co-authors: Fanny M. Monteiro, Jamie Wilson, myself and Daniela N. Schmidt.

Neither of them are here yet, so I need you all to cheer with me!

Past foraminiferal acclimatization capacity is limited during future warming - Nature

Data from the fossil record, together with computational modelling, are used to assess the response of foraminifera (marine zooplankton) to temperature changes through time and to predict how well the...

A study in Nature Climate Change shows that the ocean carbon sink unexpectedly declined in 2023 despite record-high sea surface temperatures (SSTs), primarily due to SST-driven outgassing of CO2 in the subtropics. 🌊 🧪

Unexpected decline in the ocean carbon sink under record-high sea surface temperatures in 2023 - Nature Climate Change

The ocean carbon sink strengthened in previous warm El Niño years due to reduced CO2 outgassing in the tropics. Here the authors show that the ocean carbon sink declined in 2023 despite record-high sea surface temperatures (SSTs), primarily due to SST-driven outgassing of CO2 in the subtropics.

So this is a cool climate change website that's big on positive developments. Basically a review site for evaluating high/low tech things that might help reduce #ClimateChange. And there are a lot of them that seem pretty good ... plus some shady 🌊 ones I've worked on that get a deserved kicking.

We know what we need to do: stop climate change as quickly as possible. Now, with the Drawdown Explorer, we know how to do it.

Hi Ana, I’m a bit confused by the fisheries bit in your profile. Are you a biological oceanographer? If so, this might not be the right starter pack, since it only targets physical oceanography. If you are indeed doing physical oceanography, I’ll be happy to add you, of course!

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week.

As someone who has dedicated my life to educating the public about the ocean, it’s really distressing to see so many people using out of date terminology.

This hasn’t been called a sea flap flap in years.

Now they’re called charismatic pancakes of wonder.
