On the 10th anniversary of Sandy, I wrote about barrier islands and the history of NY’s coastlines. It’s a tale of lost islands, forgotten hurricanes, and an endlessly transforming coast. Honored to share it with the @NewYorker newyorker.com/culture/person…
My cover story for @WHOI's Oceanus Magazine is now online. It's on ocean physics, the wild ways scientists measure it, and how the ocean's invisible currents dominate life on this planet. Check it out!

Thank you to Evan Lubofsky for the assignment and all the wonderful scientists who contributed. A special thank you to @Foukalpoint for inviting me aboard the Endeavor last year to view his work firsthand!
Last year I had the opportunity to spend a month(!) at sea with WHOI oceanographer @Foukalpoint. If any editors are interested in a behind the scenes look at the magical, difficult, and sometimes nauseating work of mapping our oceans, hit me up!
Incredible wordsmithing by @dkgarz to summarize the complicated field of AMOC dynamics into a brief (too brief?) article: nautil.us/the-ocean-apocalyp…
@WHOI @NautilusMag
Wrote a little story for @NautilusMag summing up what we know and don't know about #AMOC, a climate tipping point which made headlines recently after a
paper predicted the system is on track to collapse. 1/x nautil.us/the-ocean-apocalyp…
What remains clear is that an AMOC collapse is an existential threat, but as of now we cannot yet predict the mechanisms and timing of a collapse with any certainty. It's an imperfect look at the future, and perhaps for the layman, an unsatisfying one.
For the next 26 days, I'm serving as a watchstander on oceanographic expedition to the Labrador Sea. Sharing pics and stories of my time at sea on Instagram if anyone wants to follow along. My handle is dkgarz . Frequency will depend on the weather and internet at sea
I’ve bugged my friends with this obsession for far too long. Now I get to share it all with you.
Hog Island was once situated off the coast of Far Rockaway, but according to sparse historical sources, an 1893 hurricane effectively wiped it off the map. This summer, David Garczynski became obsessed with finding it. nyer.cm/7dWDRMG

Word of the day, once again, has to be 'apricity' (17th century): the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.
It's too good to lose.
David Garczynski retweeted
Barrier islands are, in a geological sense, temporary arrangements of sand. To imagine them as places with any permanence at all is to misunderstand how the Earth works.
