And here is the corresponding global upper ocean heat content (0 to 700 m depth) now updated through June 2023...
Data (anomalies) and methods from https://ncei.noaa.gov/access/global-ocean-heat-content/
New article out in #Paleoceanography & #Paleoclimatology where we (Chris Maupin & myself) briefly recount how scientists have sought to understand past year-to-year (#interannual) temperature variations in the marine realm: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2023PA004723
Mainly focusing on coral-derived records, we also highlight a recent article by Ong et al. (2022; https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022PA004483) who add a new #coral genus to the #paleoclimate toolkit.

My favorite paper that I've read this year — a look at how confusion between inferential uncertainty and outcome variability creates all sorts of problems — is now out in PNAS.
Here's the paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2302491120
Here's the thread I wrote about the preprint last April: https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/110267907188002904
great summary of what's driving the extreme heat we're experiencing.

Some people* really have toomuch time on their hands. Bit the end result is this really rather marvellous tour of different #dataviz that will alternately have you laughing crying and quite possibly feeling a little nauseous. You've been warned. Now off you go to take a look..

This morning's listen: Dark Hall's demo EP - such a fun, unique mixture of #progrock, #funk, #jazz, and bits of #metal. Great to see this demo reissued by #SubcontinentalRecords:

A nice commentary in #NatureMagazine by @loopdlupien about a newly published article on eastern African paleoclimate change by Baxter & colleagues (link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06272-5) - can simulations of future climatic trends in eastern Africa be reconciled with modern trends?

The extent of global sea ice has been consistently setting new daily records for at least the last two months...

The features in Coldwater Cave are just stunning. It's like a cave geology textbook down there.
The cave itself is flooded, with cold water actively flowing through it (Coldwater Cave, amirite?). Even in summer it was pretty cold.
On the ceiling, you could see really neat joint patterns and how fluids exploited those joints, flowed through, and then deposited calcite as they hit the cave and CO2 was released, changing equilibrium and causing chemical precipitation.
Very proud of our #NSF-funded #REU students at the Dept of Geosciences, University of Arizona — our program called “Clouds 2 Core” (C2C) is only for students enrolled in 2-Yr Community and Tribal Colleges and the current cohort of 11 students are from colleges and towns all over #Arizona (and #NM and #TX). Today is their final presentations after 8 weeks of research work, here in #Tucson. Some photos below!

Stay tuned for lots of new goodies coming later this year!
Happy time tracking!
