New night atmosphere, or dusk?
A special painting from my recent series: ‘As night sets in.’ Although it may look like a night painting, I wanted to capture precisely that magical twilight in which the street lights awaken against the still light evening sky. Extra nice news is that this work has already found a loving new home during the Easter exhibition at Galleri Kunstlade Gjøl in Denmark! #eveninglight #artist #painting #gallery #atmosphere #lightgame #petervanoostzanen

Interesting to look back at this five months later ... here's what's currently happening today in terms of decentralization the ATmosphere.

Of course, like I said in the article,

""Decentralization" means different things to different people. As the links in the Appendix highlight, people who are focusing on the (very real) concentration of power in the ATmosphere today, or the potentially-centralizing architecture of AT, find it more useful to describe Bluesky as centralized."

And the power concentration -- or "operational centralization" as Bluesky folks were calling it at the ATmosphere Conference -- is still very real. Bluesky still runs almost all of the infrastructure for the ATmosphere, and it's by far the most popular app, and most other apps (as well as Bluesky) use the Bluesky AppView, Relay, and labeler.

Then again, that's clearly in the process of changing, and it'll be interesting to see how it looks six months or a year from now.

"Satellites in low-Earth orbit eventually have to come down, and companies rely on the upper atmosphere to act as a waste incinerator. That’s exposed a blind spot in environmental laws: They only deal with pollution from human activities near Earth’s surface. But just as carbon dioxide and ozone-destroying compounds drifting up have created problems, so too can pollutants raining down at ever-increasing rates."

'Cryosphere meltdown' will impact Arctic marine carbon cycles and ecosystems, new study warns

A new study led by Jochen Knies from the iC3 Polar Research Hub has found worrying signs that climate change may be undermining the capacity of #Arctic #fjords to serve as effective #carbon sinks. The findings suggest that the capacity of polar #oceans to remove carbon from the #atmosphere may be reduced as the world continues to heat up.

Knies and his collaborators discovered that rapid changes in the Arctic are transforming vibrant fjord ecosystems like Kongsfjorden in #Svalbard. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, their findings document not only a shift in phytoplankton communities due to melting ice but also a worrying decline in the capacity of these fjords to sequester carbon.

Warmer waters can enhance #phytoplankton growth during sunlit summers, presenting an initial opportunity for increased productivity. However, as the waters become stratified, essential nutrients become harder to access, leading to a double-edged sword: while we may see a rise in phytoplankton #biomass, the efficiency of CarbonCapture could decline.
