The Dennistoun Milestone on Duke Street in Glasgow. Created in 1991 by Jim Buckley, it has an interior space containing a number of local artefacts, including a clay pipe found at Whitehill School, a bottle of water from the Molendinar, a text about life in a Glasgow tenement and a tobacco knife from the nearby Wills Tobacco Factory.

ICYMI earlier today from the WMO

"For the period 2001–2025, [Earth Energy Imbalance] can also be measured directly by satellites. The rate of increase of EEI as measured by satellite over this period was 0.44 ± 0.13 W m−2 per decade."

We are in such deep💩

Happy birthday Pierre-Simon, marquis de Laplace (23 March 1749 – 5 March 1827), French mathematical physicist (who incidentally, did invaluable work in geophysics). He was pretty hard-headed and probably didn’t really have any imaginary friends, but nonetheless Laplace’s Demon is my 3rd in the series of Imaginary Friends of Science. 🧵

Happy birthday to one of greatest mathematicians of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. Noether’s theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law. In my portrait, I chose to depict a young Emmy in front of a blackboard with a more simple formulation of her theorem and three specific applications of it, shown schematically, using pictures and 🧵

Most of the #Arctic is experiencing warming temperatures over the last four decades in March. This is largest in the Barents Sea region and corresponds to losses of sea ice cover (turbulent heat fluxes).
