On behalf of JGR: Oceans, I consented to a Reddit Science AMA. What did an anonymous public want to learn about oceanography and climate science? More importantly, what can we learn from them?

Climate Scientists as Activists
The pursuit of global political solutions to climate change is not for the faint of heart—but it is a matter of civic responsibility.
Your Science Is Your (Openly Shared) Data
Your data are no less important than your words.
Four Perspectives on Order From Chaos
What makes thunderstorms clump, even to the point of singularity, over uniform oceans? Three recent papers in JAMES address this question, and a new Commentary ties them together.
Connecting Thunderstorms and Climate Through Ozone
New data links thunderstorms to climate via their impacts on aerosols, ozone, and water vapor in the stratosphere.
Polarity Reversals in the Earth’s Magnetic Field
Studies of geomagnetic polarity reversals have generated some of the biggest and most interesting debates in the paleomagnetic and wider solid Earth geophysics communities over the last 25 years.
Blowin’ in the Wind: Observing Stratospheric Aerosols
New observations and understanding of stratospheric particles are crucial for evaluating their role in climate change.
Sustaining Existence: A Geoethical Dilemma
Would communicating science be more effective if geoethics were included in the discussion?
Insights on Climate Systems from Interglacials
Interglacials provide insights into the impacts of warmer than present conditions in certain regions of Earth.
Tidal River Dynamics
Tidal rivers are a vital and little studied nexus between physical oceanography and hydrology.
