Scripps' Lynn Russell is among authors of a @NOAA-led opinion piece out today in @PNASNews. They propose a framework for assessing the viability of a #geoengineering method for reflecting sunlight called marine cloud brightening. Read more via @CIRESnews: cires.colorado.edu/news/scientist…
This austral summer, research by @Scripps_Polar scientists is resuming in #Antarctica – one of the world’s coldest places and a global hotspot for climate and ecology research. Follow along to learn about 4 scientists conducting fieldwork on the frozen continent this season. ❄️🇦🇶
I can FINALLY share this! Last May, I got to meet Jeff Goldblum and watch him learn about tiny marine organisms from @Woman_Scientist at @Scripps_Ocean for his @NatGeo show The World According to Jeff Goldblum. Truly a dream! Check out the episode “Tiny Things” on Disney Plus.
The ocean floor is lava! 🌊🌋 In our latest #Wavelengths video, Scripps marine geophysicist Ross Parnell-Turner (@Ross_PT) talks with Scripps alum Kate Furby (@seakaterun) about underwater #volcanoes and his research on seafloor spreading. Check it out! youtu.be/oSjy6Q-_Ll8
What do we risk losing if the deep ocean isn’t explored? ‘We won’t know what planet we live on’ says Jyotika Virmani of @SchmidtOcean. We could miss finding lifesaving drug compounds, knowledge of services ocean provides to moderate #climatechange and more.
DYK the world’s longest ocean creature, a 150-foot-long siphonophore, was only discovered in 2020? @SchmidtOcean and scientists like @LlevinAnn from @Scripps_Ocean making the case at @COP26 for deep ocean understanding and protection, another tool that can combat #climatechange
Researchers from Scripps Oceanography and the rest of the @UofCalifornia will keep making the case at #cop26 for protecting future generations from a catastrophe this generation can stop.

Dave Pierce at @Scripps_Ocean reports the Northern Sierra 8-stations precip index received 12.7% of the avg-water-yr-total yesterday! The index now sits at 23% of avg-WY-total. He tracks this & many more Ca-Nv precip stats at cirrus.ucsd.edu/~pierce/sdprec… @CW3E_Scripps @CnapRisa

A new season of @Scripps_Ocean's science video series #Wavelengths starts this week in explorations now. To prepare yourself, binge watch Season One. It will only take 20 minutes! youtube.com/playlist?list=…
