Mauna Loa Observatory captured the reality of climate change. The US plans to shut it down Cutting data climate collection – as the Trump administration is now trying to do – is like breaking a thermometer to avoid knowing you’ve got a fever.

The Mauna Loa Observatory, home of the iconic Keeling Curve is at risk of shutdown. A new Conversation piece by CCRC's Alex Sen Gupta, @katrinmeissner.bsky.social & @timraupach.com explains why this matters for climate science. Don’t miss it.

Key climate wild cards like tipping points and abrupt shifts are still missing from many models. A new piece by CCRC’s @katrinmeissner.bsky.social & Steven Sherwood explains why accounting for these uncertainties is essential.

Climate models are powerful, but do they miss some wild cards? 🌥️ Prof. @katrinmeissner.bsky.social and Steven Sherwood from CCRC explain that carbon feedbacks & tipping points could accelerate warming faster than we expect.🌍💨 More details: www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/new... #ClimateScience #CarbonCycle

Simulated ocean oxygenation during the interglacials MIS 5e and MIS 9e Abstract. Recent studies investigating future warming scenarios have shown that the ocean oxygen content will continue to decrease over the coming century due to ocean warming and changes in oceanic c...

New paper 🚨: This research uses ACCESS-ESM1.5 to simulate ocean oxygenation during past interglacials (MIS 5e & 9e).

More than 1,300 Hajj pilgrims died this year when humidity and heat pushed past survivable limits. It’s just the start Our bodies have hard limits as to how much heat and humidity we can tolerate. Lethal humid heat is a growing threat

Comedian Nish Kumar helps Dr Fredi Otto spell out the actual risks of climate change, pulling zero punches, and using highly unscientific language throughout. Part of an ongoing project to help the climate science cut through to the public. climatesciencebreakthrough.com youtu.be/CnITUQVEqLQ?...

Although ours was on modelling and process understanding not on gathering more paleodata (which is of course also extremely important and needed).

I submitted one on deep time hot climates and process understanding that would feed into future climate projections. All four Detailed Assessors ranked it first. The General Assessors did not, unfortunately 😢.

First circular for the Australasian Quaternary Association conference which will be held 24-28th June 2024 on beautiful Minjerrabah Island, Quandamooka country, southeast Queensland. Currently calling for workshops and conference session themes by 30th November. Also a conference logo.

A new paper by Kaitlin Naughten. Sad but not surprising.

We made it!

11 hours of lay over in Johannesburg and still sitting upright 😊. WCRP Kigali, here we come ❤️. @melissatraveler.bsky.social @juliearblaster.bsky.social @nenazarian.bsky.social @timraupach.bsky.social
