Ocean advocate, community builder, climate scientist. I make sure the ocean interior is healthy so you don't have to.
- I'm excited that 2026 will be the start of an exciting new chapter for me. Can't wait to join the great folks at ESIP in making Earth science more collaborative and actionable!
- We’re pleased to share that Dr. Sarah Cooley will join ESIP as Executive Director in January 2026! Sarah is an ocean carbon cycle scientist by training 🌊, focusing on ensuring Earth system science is used to inform decision making and drive effective, real-world action. @co2ley.bsky.social 🧵

- I just went through this mini-course on LLMs/AI and it's worth the time! It expands on ideas that were kind of vaguely forming in my head and has a lot of great references for further reading. thebullshitmachines.com/index.html
- How many people are starting to make an “in case of flash flooding I’ll do this” plan (no matter how vague) when they receive a flood warning? 🙋🏼♀️
- 👏 Don’t 👏 be 👏 fooled! 👏 Climate change is still bad and needs action at all levels! But we KNOW how to act.

- Relevant. Today I ran into a bunch of dead links at NCEI that made it tough for me to think how to cite my points using another authoritative source.

This is an absolutely essential scanned archive of all of the old journals and books from the 1500s to about 1920. Has been indispensable for my research. about.biodiversitylibrary.org/call-for-sup...

- Reposted by Sarah CooleyThe #IPCC, established in 1988, is the United Nations body that assesses the science related to #climatechange. The #IPCC has 195 member countries & over 200 observer organisations. Here’s how nations use IPCC reports to shape climate policies in their country. youtu.be/71jiAm1bGJk?...

- Reposted by Sarah CooleyIf you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social
- I joined my community’s homeowners association last year in hopes I could help build community in my own little corner of the world… this essay speaks to me!

- Reposted by Sarah CooleyThinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

- Reposted by Sarah CooleyLots of people on my feed are concerned about the destruction of NOAA by the Trump administration and Elon Musk, but much of what I’ve seen people post about is the national weather service. That’s vital, but NOAA does so much more than that! My latest, for @ucsusa.bsky.social 🧪🌎🦑🐠
- Keep the free press! Donate (if you can) to help make up the loss of the 5-10% funding that this will cause!
- 🌊 Great big congratulations to @scottdoney.bsky.social as he is elected into the National Academy of Sciences! Scott has been a key mentor for me and so many others, teaching us to always ask hard questions and see through flimsy science. 👏

It’s “just strategically fucking dumb when it comes to China,” that person added, saying the move would leave a leadership vacuum that China could fill.”
- Reposted by Sarah CooleyCan scientists trace climate losses back to the emissions from individual fossil fuel companies? Yes, we can. The inimitable @ccallahan45.bsky.social and I provide an 'end-to-end' attribution framework that can be applied in many climate accountability contexts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Earlier in April, NOAA released the global concentration of CO2 for 2024 which was 422.7 ppm. CO2 concentrations grew by 3.7 ppm which was far and away the biggest increase on record. Why? Well, usually there is a story at NOAA that explains...Not this year though. gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/...
