Atlantic Ocean Temperatures Could Produce Record Hurricane Season
From ominous and unsettling to daunting and dire, meteorologists have no shortage of adjectives to describe what the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has in store. In their most aggressive outlook ever, forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are predicting an above-average season of between 17 and 25 named storms, with eight to 13 becoming hurricanes, including four to seven major cyclones. Forecasters are 70 percent confident in those ranges. Read more “Atlantic Ocean Temperatures Could Produce Record Hurricane Season”

IDSC Welcomes Gabriel Reygondeau, PhD
Gabriel Reygondeau was four years old when his father took him fishing off the coast of Mexico. His father and his friends hooked a swordfish and reeled it in, pulling it onto the boat and beating it with a club. While the adults celebrated their momentous catch, young Gabriel stood back, traumatized over what he was seeing. “That swordfish died in front of me,” he said. “At that point, I said I would do anything in my power to work for the ocean and preserve the ocean. You can ask my parents, that’s exactly what I’ve done.” Read more “IDSC Welcomes Gabriel Reygondeau, PhD”
