Higher #ocean temps could thin out Earth's most abundant photosynthetic organism. A steep decline could significantly alter the marine #food web and #carbon cycle, according to a study co-authored by CS3 Principal Research Scientist Stephanie Dutkiewicz. tinyurl.com/5xu8ve5p

Bigger isn't always better: new research shows that simpler, physics-based models can generate more accurate weather and climate predictions for certain scenarios than larger deep-learning models, but there's still potential in deep-learning. buff.ly/3MjQDjr

"We consider water to be required for life because that is what’s needed for Earth life. But if we look at a more general definition, we see that what we need is a liquid in which metabolism for life can take place," says Rachana Agrawal, @eapsMIT postdoc news.mit.edu/2025/planets-w…

What does habitability look like on a planet without water? A new study shows that ionic liquids can form on planets that can't sustain liquid water. And while it may not look like water-based life that we know, ionic liquids could also support life. buff.ly/sjFMk9D

Despite phase-out of #ozone-depleting substances (ODS) since 2010, #emissions of one potent ODS has continued to slow down ozone layer recovery. Now a CS3-led study sheds new light on the primary source & recent history of about 1/2 of these emissions. tinyurl.com/4er6renz
