Our sea-ice index provides data visualisations that can be used directly by journalists. Here an example (in french) ! with: @gwenbras.bsky.social www.futura-sciences.com/planete/actu...

Le fait que « Y.M.C.A », chanson culte de la culture LGBT par les Village People, soit écrit « Why i'm see yeah » au premier degré par un journal au fonds de commerce LGBTIphobe, MEILLEURE BLAGUE 🤡🤡🤡 Au Figaro, autant journalistes que profs d'anglais 👍

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

That's terrible news to read. For us documenting #SeaIce, having colleagues that share comparable data obtained by different algorithms is a form of quality assessment of our own data. It is a terrible loss for us as it is for our whole user community. @eumetsat.int @nsidc.bsky.social

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data. "As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported." nsidc.org/data/user-re...

🇫🇷 Sur demande de @magalireghezza.bsky.social, voici un 🧵sur notre étude publiée hier avec @cassouman40.bsky.social, @jbsallee.bsky.social et Aurélien Liné. Tout est disponible sur cet article @theconversation.com : tinyurl.com/yp7pkp58 1/..

🌊 The N.Atlantic has been experiencing extreme T°C in 2023. This situation raises a number of questions: Have we missed something? Do climate models allow us to understand such an event, or have we entered a new climate regime? We attempted to answer these questions in this study: rdcu.be/eh0e8 1/14

You recently obtained a Ph.D. or are currently a postdoc, do not live in Canada but are looking to move to Canada? You are interested in watershed-scale carbon storage and transport? There is an oportunity to apply for a 3-year PDF fellowship in my institution (Université de Montréal), get in touch!

What are some choices that have set humanity off in the wrong direction? For example: 1. Car dependency 2. Liberating our waste in sewers instead of using dry composting toilets. 3…

Un des passages les plus éloquents du débat de @ccesoir.bsky.social d'hier à propos de Marine Le Pen est venu, comme souvent lorsqu'il est invité, de Fabrice Arfi. Qui rappelle quelques bases.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

Today is the #equinox, when the sun appears directly over the equator. Throughout the year, the sun appears to move North and South, changing how much daylight we get. Here's how that looked over the past year, thanks to Japan's #Himawari weather satellite.

Very cool concept to unsilence #silencedsciencestories

Just heard that Trump is putting an end to atmospheric monitoring site NY67 that is run out of my lab. This is one of the oldest NADP sites in the US, continually measuring acid rain and other pollutants since 1977. Closing it down is tragic.

Le gvt Trump va arrêter le labo qui a la plus longue série d'observation des concentrations de CO2... Plutôt que d'arrêter les émissions de CO2... 🦾

🔴⚠️🧊🌡️Dramatic conditions for the Arctic Circle as from the latest ERA5 data. It was hotter than the ref.per. 1991-2020 almost everywhere in the #Arctic with a max anomaly of +10.6°C for Feb.2025. Daily anomaly reached even +20°C in some areas, with seaice at their smallest extent ever for February

🧵 40 years ago today, during my first #Antarctic and Southern Ocean research cruise, two colleagues and I began our second day on South Georgia while RRS Discovery III was moored at King Edward Point. We had camped overnight in West Cumberland Bay next to the Lyell Glacier. 1/n

On last tuesday (04/03/2025), we released a new version of our Sea Ice Emissivity (OSI-404-b) and of our Global Low Resolution Sea Ice Drift (OSI-405-d) products. For more details about the new version, consult the product description page : osi-saf.eumetsat.int/products/sea...

L'extrême droite attaque à l'arme blanche la projection d'un film en plein Paris, laissant plusieurs blessés et criant "Paris est nazi". Où est la réaction de Bruno Retailleau et du gouvernement ? Quand on dit que le fascisme est un danger mortel, ce n'est pas une métaphore.

Global Sea Ice extent in the arctic is at record low since several days. We never recorded that few Sea Ice on earth since the beginning of satellite Sea Ice Extent measurement in 1978.

Imaginez, vous pouvez offrir un aller simple pour Mars à n'importe qui. Vous l'offrez à qui, et pourquoi Elon Musk?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Bon courage aux profs du futur qui seront face à des élèves qui ne verront pas l'utilité de savoir rédiger (vu qu'il y a l'IA), d'apprendre une langue étrangère (vu qu'il y a l'IA), d'apprendre à résoudre une équation (vu qu'il y a l'IA) etc etc

Les nvelles lois agricoles discutées au parlement ignorent ou minorent les faits scientifiques sur les pesticides, rôle des haies, etc., au nom d’une vision ultra-productiviste&court-termiste de l’agriculture qui sacrifie la sécurité sanitaire pour toutes et tous (agris en 1er) & la biodiversité 1/🧵
