Climate Modeling for Communities, with Communities - Eos End users, such as Indigenous community members developing climate adaptation efforts, make better use of climate models when researchers collaborate with them from the start.

Communities sometimes use the output of climate models to help guide decisions. In these two projects, end users helped design the models too.

Save NCAR from being dismantled today! The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

Sculpture by Singer-Songwriter Jewel Incorporates Near Real-Time NASA Ocean Data - Eos The soundscape changes in accordance with near real-time Atlantic Ocean conditions, as the data updates every 12 minutes. “If it’s raining, the piece looks and sounds different. If it’s stormy, the pi...

Singer and artist Jewel worked with NASA to create an eight-foot resin sculpture and soundscape informed by Atlantic Ocean data. She discussed the work at #AGU25 🌊 ✨💎

Pamir Glacier Expedition Returns with High-Elevation Ice Cores - Eos The three glacial cores will unlock mysteries about past climate and weather patterns in central Asia.

Ice cores from Kon Chukurbashi glacier in central Asia’s Pamir Mountains will help scientists understand the past weather and climate of the region, including why glaciers there seem to be more stable than glaciers elsewhere.

How to be a scientist in a post-journal world When we created this site to write about things in science that need to be fixed, we chose not to start with publishing, even though it has been our preoccupation for decades.

'How to be a scientist in a post-journal world'

@pracheeac.bsky.social & @mbeisen.bsky.social beautifully explain how a post-Journal world would look, work, & why it would indeed be a better world. 👍

Video Shows Pulsing and Curving Fault Behavior - Eos A chance video captured a fault rupture during March’s devastating Myanmar earthquake, delivering real-time evidence of how major seismic tremors propagate.

Myanmar earthquake footage adds visual confirmation of pulse-like propagation of seismic tremors.

Contrasting biological production trends over land and ocean - Nature Climate Change The authors jointly assess the changes in land and ocean net primary production from 2003 to 2021. They show contrasting trends, with overall planetary increases (0.11 ± 0.13 PgC yr−1) driven by terrestrial enhancement and offset by oceanic decline.

A study published in Nature Climate Change analyses net primary production (NPP) trends from 2003 to 2021, revealing an overall increase in planetary NPP, primarily due to terrestrial enhancements despite a decline in oceanic productivity. go.nature.com/4fP7uBA 🧪

“Rates of Warming are Unprecedented” Scientists Warn in Latest Dire Assessment Unless carbon emissions and fossil fuel use are slashed drastically, global heating could surpass the limits set out in the Paris Agreement.

“What we know from the science is that unless we halve emissions by 2030, we’re not going to be able to get anywhere close to the Paris Agreement’s limit.” “Overshooting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C target would be a very serious political failure.”
Very true.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @eos.org on remediation of oil/gas well pads in the boreal peatland ecozone of Canada: ecological engineering to reintroduce mosses; groundwater flow, moisture and fill materials; water table and soil water retention; and the hydrology of different treatments.

Surface Conditions Affect How Mosses Take to Former Well Pads in Canada’s Boreal Fens - Eos With the help of key moss species, a new approach aims to restore the fens of the Western Boreal Plain.

Restoring well pads requires good hydrology.

A Coral Core Archive Designed for Transparency and Accessibility - Eos CoralCT archives raw and processed data from coral and reef core samples, preserving valuable insights into how corals respond to environmental changes.

Coral reefs support marine life, ecotourism, and coastal protection. They also hold something valuable under their surface: records of the ocean’s past.

Orbiter Pair Expands View of Martian Ionosphere - Eos Radio signals sent between two Mars orbiters—rather than between an orbiter and an Earth-based receiver—capture new insights into atmospheric dynamics.
