River sediment is changing globally, impacting the stability of river systems and the ecological and economic systems that rely on them. New #SciencePerspective shows the current state of knowledge… doi.org/10.1126/science.abq6…

Rich Texans adapted to a major blackout in 2021 by adding generators to their homes.
Poor Texans were left in the dark.
"This is adaptation in practice," says @AndrewDessler. "People with resources take care of themselves while everyone else is screwed." bit.ly/3OzDSdr

Manitoba’s latest flood forecast calls for a crest moving north along the Red River in mid-May.
The range for the crest is now expected to be higher than the 2020 peak under favourable conditions - and above 2009 under unfavourable ones.

Hot poles: Parts of Antarctica hit 70 degrees warmer than normal. At the same time, parts of the Arctic were 50 degrees warmer than normal. “They are opposite seasons. You don’t see the north and the south both melting at the same time,” said a scientist. apne.ws/Jx1bGDr

New paper from my @NOAA funded postdoc is out @theAGU GRL open access.
I, @slgstevenson & @midhun_ndr use simulations from CESM to diagnose forced trend in location of subtropical jet over the Himalayas (Himalayan jet) for the past millennium. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…. We show,👇

Women face multiple barriers in Science that bring us down or push us out. The pervasive and toxic culture of sexual harassment like the one I experienced @stri_panama needs to change!

How do we update the climate stripes for a warmer future? Do these colours work for showing two possible futures to 2050 (SSP2-4.5 and SSP1-1.9)?

The new IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6) provides an unprecedented degree of clarity about the future of our planet, and the need to reduce – and ultimately eliminate – our emissions of greenhouse gases.
In this thread I take a look at some key findings from the report: 1/27

"Every disaster movie begins with a scientist being ignored" ... except now the disaster is climate change and it's not a movie, it's real life.
Did you know there are only 3 climate scientist with over 100K followers, and none with over 200K followers? If you value my no-nonsense approach to climate communication, please help boost my account to 100K. Follow other climate scientists too: xitter.cf/i/lists/10530671739613…

How do climate scientists study the causes of climate change? And how do they investigate whether human-caused planetary warming is affecting extreme events? Ben Santer's been doing attribution science for 30 years - a highly recommended read: thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

So things are hot🥵and dry🏜️and crops are in 📉 out here on the Canadian Prairies and you may wonder how this stacks up with other droughts we've had. If you'll indulge me I'll break this down a bit with some data from Saskatoon.
