Pico Humboldt (4942 m asl, Venezuela) 1950 | 2007 | 2019 Much has been said about the loss of last Venezuelan glacier THIS is actually what we are losing! In the 1910s, Humboldt group was covered with 3.4 km² of ice, 1.6 km² in the 1950s and 0.02 km² today 🧊❄️📈 Dr. Heïdi Sevestre

This is some WILD radar imagery. You can see bats taking off in Texas and then they all get blown east by an outflow boundary. Very satisfying lol

New paper by Pete Puleo shows why humble aquatic brown mosses just might be the awesome-est of water isotope archives. They capture seasons! 🤯 w/@ProfMaggie Ben Kopec Pete D. Akers @TennaRiis

Happy to have our Greenland lake isotope data help out on this interesting project using moss to reconstruct seasonal hydroclimate changes!

The temptation to respond to a reviewer's request for an lengthy addition with "This analysis is left as an exercise for the reader"...😂

Incredibly strong early season hurricane. Particularly noteworthy as open Atlantic hurricanes rarely get this strong at this time of year due to relatively cool waters and dry air. Record warm sea surface temperatures have negated that norm, however.

Looks like Las Vegas, NV, has broken its all time high temp record (prev: 117 F). And still several brutal days still to come, including two more days forecast to match the new all time record high. #heatwave #lasvegas #nevada

Hurricane Beryl, which is now a tropical storm, took the worst possible track and slammed #Houston. It’s right eyewall — or inner ring of nasty winds surrounding the eye — is still raking the city with 65-85 mph gusts. A widespread 6-10 inches of rain too. Direct hit.

Attempting to figure out a (relatively) simple equation where you can plug in a continental US site's climate and geographical norms and obtain daily estimates of its precipitation isotope norms. First test at 73 sites isn't too bad! Red is actual isotope norms, black is model.

Living near the cliffs surrounding Grenoble made for gorgeous landscapes, but slope failure always was in the back of my mind! This landslide was on the opposite side of the Vercors from the Grésivaudan, but the threat exists for all the steep slopes in Isère.
