Now that I've finally made the move, I'm reposting one of my favourite things I made during my PhD: 1 year of output from a regional simulation of the SW Indian Ocean (colours show SST). We often use neat schematic diagrams to represent ocean currents but in reality, it's a rather turbulent mess!

Two days ago, millions of people in Japan received an alert on their phones: a M9.9 earthquake had occurred north of the county, and violent shaking was expected. Eight minutes later, the warning was rescinded. What happened? ⚒️ 🧪 earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/false-m99-...

Research Leader - Landscape Ecology and Ecosystem Science // Kew careers.kew.org/vacancy/rese... We are seeking an outstanding ecologist or environmental scientist with expertise in spatial ecology, ecosystem science or ecological modelling to lead applied ecosystem research at Kew. #BotanyJobs

Just out 🎉 @marineconservation paper We explore genetic diversity and connectivity of endangered elkhorn coral populations. 🌍🔍 ✅ ~3900 samples from ~1,400 A. palmata genets publicly available in STAG DB reveal population structure across Caribbean

My god, the sheer number of wasted human work hours that these statistics expose. Think of all the great stuff they could have been doing rather than writing doomed proposals. Almost anything would have been better!

Our unit (oist.jp/research/res...) is seeking motivated PhD students and research interns for fully funded positions!!🍄🦠🌳 See how to apply to each program: PhD: oist.jp/admissions/p... (Deadline: November 15) Internship: oist.jp/admissions/r... (Deadline: October 15)

It reminded me to get hold of the similar, if more parochial, table of ocean 🌊 profiles of the elements ... agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... (Although I can't find a more global ocean version of this - does one exist?)

Great to see graduates are very happy with their Earth and marine science degrees! Makes me wonder though why we are not swamped with applicants? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

It should be unacceptable for funding agencies to refuse to give feedback on unsuccessful proposals. It's just so disrespectful to the hours upon hours that people have invested in them.

Ecololgists!! This fall, the LEGO league's theme for their annual competition is ecosystems/biodiversity themed. We are going to need *a lot* of ecologists to help meet the demand. If you are willing to have a conversation with k-8 students about ecology, pls sign up here forms.gle/NbxitaXamK7B...

We need more train services named after ocean currents.

Does anyone know of a general tool that alerts you when (if) a preprint is published in peer-reviewed form?

NOAA C&GC is an incredible postdoctoral opportunity. I had the best time of my life as a fellow and I'd unreservedly recommend it, despite everything that's going on in the US. If you're in the last year of your PhD or graduated in the last 3 years, please consider applying!

Moving house. It's important to prioritise. (rock = cross-bedded torridonian sandstone)

That heatwave felt like we've been inside a volcano, and we've got the perfect new book for your child to learn all about them. 🌋 @nosycrow.bsky.social and @cam.ac.uk have created another gorgeous illustrated science book, 'The Power of Volcanoes'. 📖

Publish your science in journals that publish science reported by humans, evaluated by humans, to be read by humans — which apparently do not include Springer Nature journals

I did this a few years ago - would definitely recommend it for graduate students and postdocs who haven't had formal training on this before. Peer review is the kind of really important skill that is too often left to hoping people pick up good practice as they go along.
