New paper led by @corneliussenf.bsky.social out today @natcomms.nature.com shows that increasingly frequent waves of extreme forest dieback are predicted across Europe by Taylor's law of mean-var scaling applied to the past 35 years of satellite data.

🌍 New study led by François Ritter just out as preprint!
Europe’s forests are losing carbon sink strength — a 44% drop by 2030 is projected, falling 29% short of EU targets.
🌳 Tree planting alone won’t be enough — 26% harvest cuts are needed too.

Sur la gestion de la forêt en France, les critiques sévères d’un haut responsable de la planification écologique : « L’Etat subventionne la perte de biodiversité » Dans une note publiée par le cercle de réflexion Terra Nova, le directeur par intérim du secrétariat général à la planification écologique, Frédérik Jobert, dénonce les politiques de plantations massi...

Si même le secrétaire général à la planification devient "activiste"...Propos édifiant! 🙏 M. Jobert!
Nous sapons l'avenir du puits de carbone, détruisons la biodiversité et les paysages #solastalgie pour satisfaire la stupidité d'une annonce macronienne.

Our data centre has shut down the access to our gitlab for security reason, thereby the documentation of gediDB, in case you wonder why you cannot access it. Hopefully it will be back online soon. I will keep you updated. Sorry for the inconvenience.

🚀 Just launched gedidb!

🌲 A Python package for processing, storing & querying GEDI lidar data with TileDB.
📂 Supports L2A, L2B, L4A, L4C
🔍 Processing the global archive in parallel—available by February!

📦 pip install gedidb

Exciting! We started to discuss the next @icos-ri.eu science conference today! #ICOSSC26 There will be again a super-interesting program of #climate #carbon and #GHG #science
When? September 2026. Where? we don't know yet. Interested in hosting it? Contact us.
BTW: good to see you here #elonsucks

Looking ahead to 2025, we expect it to be slightly cooler than 2023 and 2024 at around 1.4C above preindustrial levels, as El Nino has faded away and cooler conditions are developing in the tropical Pacific.

We have updated our forest age map to version 2.1. Updates are minor, and version 2.1 uses the ESA-CCI biomass maps version 5 during the model forward runs. We are moving the 100m resolution to an S3 bucket for more user-friendly access. Stay tuned.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

Can I also be added to this pack? Thank youuuuu

Revised historical record sharpens perspective on global warming Undercorrection of ocean surface temperatures revealed.

Here's the News and Views to the paper:

Depuis des années, les scientifiques alertent sur la réduction des faits à de simples opinions.
Depuis des années, les médias ouvrent leurs plateaux aux marchands de doutes et de haine au nom du pluralisme sans leur porter la moindre contradiction, y compris sur le service public.
Et on s’étonne.

Merci de m'ajouter aussi à la liste. Great initiative.

Me too Ankur. Thank you for doing it.
