The #nasa #giss #nyc #MoonTree arrived today

The first moon trees were from Apollo 14 when Stuart Roosa packed seeds in his bags as part of the US bicentennial:

The idea of a tree grown of a seedling that had made its way around the moon piqued the interest of so many #STEM lovers that the modern #Artemis team decided we needed a new cohort of inspirational, well traveled trees:

Our sapling sweet gum is hanging out w plants on our living wall

We recently had the #enso forecasting group (who also does that fuzzy subseasonal2seasonal #climate forecasting) recently moved from their old home at ldeo #columbia to #nasa #giss - my lab.

I Super excited to have these new folks on site!

Brand new webpage for them went live today:

#gistemp is one of the signature products to come out of #nasa #giss , my lab.

#helene took down #noaa ‘s ncei data center

Gistemp monthly updates depend on this data center. So they’ll be on hold for a bit

Each day the sadness and resilience in the face of incredible devastation in North Carolina étal become more apparent

Surprisingly: not even the most knowledgeable of #climate experts were prepared for the devastating impact of #climatechange fueled #ExtremeRain

#Germany should be prepared for a large-scale military conflict in five years, said Captain Michael #Giss.

"In Germany, we are still miles away from perceiving an external threat today, quite different from people in the Baltic states or #Poland, for example"

"But my internal clock as a soldier is running and tells me that in five years' time we will have to be resilient as a society to withstand an external military threat."

And now my friends down at #nasa #gsfc #merra2 plus #giss #gistemp weigh in::

July 22 2024 was the hottest day in recorded history… likely the hottest day since the Eemian.

Our latest weekly #ClimateResearch roundup provides fast access to a bumper crop of 189 academic articles by 1,109 authors published in 75 journals.

"Why the lower stratosphere cools when the troposphere warms" touches on a favorite hobbyhorse of advanced climate change deniers. Observational evidence is clear-- here's "why?"

Don't miss #NASA #GISS Director Gavin Schmidt''s "Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory."
