A Fair Assessment of Sea Ice Age Reduces Bias and Gives New Insight to Arctic Sea Ice Dynamics We applied the same algorithm for diagnosing sea ice age in observations to a climate model for the first time The derived sea ice age reproduces the model dynamics but has much lower bias compar...

We have a new paper out today taking a fresh look at sea ice age, showing how this variable offers new insights into Arctic climate change:

For this years Research days I'll be talking about climate change in Reisa national park in northern Norway. It's a protected area that is expected to see dramatic warming in the coming century:

We've had a gloriously warm and sunny summer in Bergen this year. You really need this break in a city where you know the heavy rain is just around the corner.

It's the temperature when we go to sleep which causes us to have delayed sleep onset, and this happens far more often than "tropical nights" metrics show. Even in northern European cities like Oslo 👇

🧪 Why do cities get so much hotter than the countryside, and what can we do about it?

In this video, Richard Davy from @nansensenteret.bsky.social and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research explains what an urban heat island is and how we can prevent them – in just 60 seconds!

The Bank of England isn’t acting alone—
Global alignment is accelerating (Basel, IAIS, NGFS).
We help you stay compliant and competitive in a fast-moving landscape.
Let’s make climate governance your strategic advantage.
#ClimateCompliance #FinancialStability #ESGTools

No more one size fits all!
The PRA’s new stance on proportionality means:
Firms must tailor climate risk management to their exposure.
We provide modular tools, adaptable data layers, and contextualized insights.
Smarter allocation, not generic reporting.
#ClimateRisk #Proportionality #Banking

Annual climate stress tests? Not enough anymore.
The PRA now wants regular, decision-linked analysis—
including reverse stress tests to probe real vulnerabilities.
Our platform makes this simple and scalable.
Let’s talk about putting your risk framework on solid ground.
#FinancialResilience

The PRA’s new paper is a turning point:
Climate risk is now a strategic issue—not a checkbox.
Board accountability, embedded oversight, robust testing: it's all on the table.
We help firms meet these expectations head-on.
Tailored data. Clear metrics. Smart tools.
#ClimateGovernance #FinanceReform

The Bank of England just raised the bar on climate risk supervision.
Boards are now expected to own climate risk.
Scenario analysis must be routine.
Data quality and disclosures? Under scrutiny.
What does it mean for the financial sector—and how can we help?

What cities can do:
• Design for all seasons—reflective roofs + winter‑neutral solutions
• Target the hottest, least‑served blocks first
• Use annual temp‑weighted mortality in climate‑risk planning
How’s your city balancing summer cooling with winter safety? ⬇️

Inequality is built in: 169 / 179 large U.S. cities see the highest UHI exposure in lower‑income or majority‑Black & Brown neighbourhoods. Global‑South cities get ~30 % less cooling from green space. #ClimateEquity #HeatRisk

Key stats: A 3 k‑city meta‑study shows UHIs prevent ≈ 4× more cold deaths than the heat deaths they add. Average surface UHI across U.S. metros ≈ 1.9 °C—but block‑level hotspots can top 4 °C above surroundings. #UrbanHeatIsland

Urban Heat Islands: why seasonality and equity now lead the conversation As media outlets ramp up their boreal‑summer heat coverage, I’m getting the usual questions about boundary‑layer dynamics and urban heat islands (UHIs). It’s worth remembering that, while UHIs raise s...

🧵Urban heat islands dominate summer headlines, but they also save winter lives. My new LinkedIn article breaks down why seasonality + equity should lead the UHI conversation. Read here 👉 www.linkedin.com/pulse/urban-...

Great thread on a modern-classic example of scientific investigation.

Seasonal forecasts have become a reliable tool e.g. for aquaculture

Why use downscaled climate data? Because a 25km² grid can’t tell you what’s happening in your watershed, coastal zone, or mountain valley.
We use statistical downscaling to bring global insights into focus—right where decisions are made.

#Downscaling #LocalClimateAction #ClimateData #HighRes

Uncertainty in climate data isn't a flaw—it's a feature.
It tells us what we don’t know yet and where we need to hedge, adapt, or build in flexibility.
We translate uncertainty into strategies, not roadblocks.

#ClimateUncertainty #RiskSavvy #ClimateCompass

At Climate Compass, we help interpret high-res projections with a clear understanding of their limitations, so decisions are smart, not overconfident.

Precision ≠ Certainty
High-resolution doesn’t mean high certainty.
It means more detail—and with that comes more complexity.

Why Our Solution?

Static reports quickly become outdated. Our interactive tools provide ongoing flexibility, ensuring you can drill deeper into the data, test what-if scenarios, and keep pace with evolving challenges.

3) Interactive Data Tools

Bring your climate data to life with web-based tools that let you explore scenarios and timelines dynamically. As your data needs evolve, these platforms help you visualize, compare, and adapt without commissioning new studies each time.

Why Our Solution?
We distill cutting-edge climate science into actionable guidance, bridging the gap between global reports and region-specific challenges. Get accessible briefs, clear communication, and data-driven recommendations suited to your local context.

2) Climate Consulting

We provide comprehensive and comprehensible summaries of the latest climate research. If you feel lost in an ocean of scientific literature—where IPCC reports may be too dense or not localized—our tailored consulting offers the clarity you need.

Why Our Solution?

We remove biases, improve resolution, and communicate uncertainties—so you can plan for multiple scenarios. Whether exploring short-term variability or longer-term trends, you will be ready for evolving climate realities.

We solve this by delivering high-resolution, uncertainty-aware data directly relevant to your local context.

What we offer:

1) Tailored Climate Data

Bringing climate data and uncertainty into focus for local issues. Many organizations have a qualitative grasp of climate change but lack the quantitative insights needed to prioritize and adapt effectively.
