A new systemic review from @baumlab.bsky.social is offering a stark warning for how profoundly ocean life can be upended by heatwaves. The review synthesizes findings from 331 studies that documented the ecological impacts of the 2014-16 Pacific marine heatwave. theconversation.com/the-worlds-l...
The world’s longest marine heat wave upended ocean life across the Pacific
The multi-year heat wave nicknamed ‘The Blob’ impacted thousands of kilometres of marine ecosystems from Alaska to Baja California.

Deeply disheartened to learn. We had just hosted @meadekrosby.bsky.social @uvic.ca last month & learned more about the impactful solutions-oriented work they did. This is devestating news and underscores the Trump administration's lack of understanding about climate change and communities' needs.
Our NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnership for the Northwest region was terminated this week. I'm so proud of the work we did to support the climate resilience efforts of frontline communities and Tribal Nations. And I'm deeply concerned for what the loss of this support means for NW communities.
We are deeply saddened to report that the funding for the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative has been terminated effective immediately. This is a devastating setback for climate resilience in rural and Tribal communities in the PNW. Read more>> cig.uw.edu/2025/05/cig-... @nwcasc.bsky.social
