Abstract submissions are now open for #AMOS2024 in Canberra! eventcreate.com/e/amos2024

You know, one of the things that doesn’t get communicated well at all is how much carbon emissions have dropped. Even as plugged in as I am, I somehow thought the US was putting out more carbon then ever. But no! We’re back down to 70s levels, and per capita is like 1940s!

This July pattern of air circulation is the opposite of what you'd expect in El Nino. And fundamentally why Bureau of Meteorology, Australia hasn't called it. [Air should be falling near Australia, not rising!] Great set of maps comparing this July with past El Nino below, from Michael Lowry .

And that’s a wrap on the science-industry workshop on severe convective storms. It was a phenomenal success - so much enthusiasm and discussion and exciting challenges to work on together. Thank you so much to everyone there!

Interesting! DiD methodology! "Junior researchers who coauthor work with top scientists enjoy a persistent competitive advantage throughout the rest of their careers, compared to peers with similar early career profiles but without top coauthors". nature.com/articles/s4146…

Very happy (but also self conscious!) to be featured in a CSIRO Promo video. The production team did a great job making me look and sound good 😊 What's it like to be a climate researcher? youtu.be/VoheEMFpzN0 via YouTube

Since I’m meant to be a member of the cult shushing everyone about Tonga, I’d like to talk about it. There was a time in ancient history (Before Covid) when I PhD'd on volcanic stuff, then I wanted to blow up GCMs even more with exoplanet modeling. So we're wiping the dust off.🧵

regardless of where and how you code, this is a super fun guide explaining how computers work! i love these sorts of articles because it doesn't "gatekeep" you with all the jargons (CPU cache lines! page fault!) and instead it actually explains them in simple terms.

Not to be churlish, but I’ve e been waiting for someone to point this out … washingtonpost.com/science/2023/0…

For people who work on lots of different things - what's the largest number of abstracts you've ever submitted to a single conference?

The bias is prestigious journals is on the side of being newsworthy, risky, timely (JWST stuff), unexpected weirdness (phosphine on Venus). They often aren’t the best science but “interesting.” This isn’t the best model (and not a formula someone just found out) but it’s not a

Science Twitter! What are your favourite picture books about natural history? My 4yo is obsessed with Grandmother Fish and now wants books about evolution and Neanderthals and Lucy and what animals dominated the earth before the dinosaurs and related topics.

With all the current discussion about ethical behaviour when publishing academic papers, a reminder that success as a scientist is *not* defined by the number of Nature or Science papers you have.

Dee Madigan Contributions like this help, too, IMO

This winter's waves in Sydney were officially the lowest on record according to the Sydney waverider buoy . While this has been bad news for surfers, its the reason we've seen our beaches grow up to 60 metres over past 12 months. A result of the recent #ElNino

I basically never come here anymore, but if any climate scientists want invites for the blue place, send me a DM. It's still growing, but the vibe is a lot nicer!

I'm popping onto this site occasionally to see what's happening at #amos2024. But you should all come over to BlueSky, and help bring back the good old days of science twitter. Then I will never have to open this benighted website again😆

You know it's time to move to the other place. I'm trying to get all the Australian Climate scientists in one place to make it even easier to build the network back up. Come join us! Andrew King 🌈 Kimberley Reid @SafariPenguin Linden Ashcroft go.bsky.app/TWDELqi
