The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system that was put in place a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global climate.
The $368 million network of instruments collecting data in both the Atlantic and Pacific has been critical to climate and ocean research.nyti.ms
This is one of the most insane things I’ve seen from this regime. Please read this excellent summary and comment in the federal registry. 🧪🌊

"This stance is based on an implicit belief that Indians are somehow more ‘adapted’ to air pollution. Such arguments are pervasive and have gained legitimacy from the political denial of the air pollution problem" ☠️
excellent reporting from @rishpardikar.bsky.social on the clean air crisis:
🚨 The Weather and Climate Livestream is back, June 1st - 3rd 2026!! We're streaming 50 hours for our future in the face of a new round of proposed budget cuts and attacks on science. Want to speak at the event? wclivestream.com/volunteer/
🌊 The ocean absorbs >90% of Earth’s excess heat, and our ability to track it depends on a fragile global network of floats, ships and sensors.
New research warns that cuts to the Global Ocean Observing System could make climate signals indistinguishable from noise.

Watching Masterchef while writing proposals is dangerous because it leads to you repeatedly typing "dumplings" instead of "density" in your Very Serious Document. 🥟
Climate scientist Jorge Sarmiento was Princeton's George J. Magee Professor of Geoscience and Geological Engineering, Emeritus, and a professor of geosciences, emeritus.
Do other scientists ever get a rush of "I have the coolest job ever" after a fun research meeting or an awesome presentation by a mentee?
In this uneasy scientific environment, it's so wonderful to be reminded why we do this work. 🌊 🧪
