Last week, her student Robert Dellinger posted a video of an overturning circulation on Twitter that got me super excited (not only because as of now, April 15th, it has 70 retweets and 309 likes. That&#8217;s orders of magnitude more successful than any [&#8230;]

I had gotten into a bit of a rut kitchen oceanography-wise, which, I am happy to report, is over now! Thanks, Elin! :-) One [&#8230;]

The idea is to put drops of dye into hot and cold water and observe how in hot water the dye is mixed a lot faster than in cold water &#8212; after all, molecules [&#8230;]

Cheers! We each had green ice cubes in our glasses, but one of our glasses contained fresh water and the other one salt water, [&#8230;]
