My sister! So proud! Mathematician—theoretical, but sometimes related to solitons (don’t ask me how)…

As scientists warn that #AMOC may slow/collapse, experts are trying to improve research on this critical ocean conveyor system
We need:
- Better measurements
- Global cooperation
- Sustained funding
- New tech for real-time data

AMOC research=climate security. Let's keep it going! 🌍💙

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

For those of you who want to help, here are some local Altadena organizations who were impacted.

These are all groups I have worked with personally and can vouch for the good work they do.

Well, this colormap works, but not for the eddies at the edge—what about a different color for the ocean in the background? Then you’d still see the eddies..
