Our Planet. Decoded.
UKCEH makes sense of environmental complexity to power decisions that shape a better future.
We don’t just examine our planet, we decode it – working out how to build a better tomorrow.

#IPBES12 is coming to Manchester.
UKCEH's Prof Paula Harrison, IPBES #NexusAssessment co-chair, said: "...an exciting opportunity for local researchers, policymakers and stakeholders to witness the collaborative process that turns science into actionable global policies for nature and people."
Climate stripes for Windermere north basin, showing long term warming. The stripes go from blue to red (cooler to warmer) from the 1940s to present.

It's #ShowYourStripes day &, inspired by @edhawkins.org, here are climate stripes for surface water temperatures in 4 lake basins in the English Lake District
These plots, by @ellie-mackay.bsky.social, clearly show long-term warming of these iconic lakes.

While not all new soil carbon persists, 'sequestered', in the soil, there are ways to confidently measure durable new carbon fractions and increase confidence in measurements of soil carbon as a climate solution, when measured correctly. #soil #science #carbon
We are looking for two postdocs for a synthesis project focused on soil carbon dynamics and warming experiments. If you are excited about applying ML and process-based models to synthesize mechanisms of temperature sensitivity of soil respiration, please apply!

Two future possibilities of the future warming stripes - rapid action or delayed action.
What will the future of the warming stripes be?
2024 could be the start of a stabilisation of global temperatures, or it might appear to be a cool year.
Which one of these stories becomes reality depends on our choices today, and every day until then.
We are likely to regret not acting sooner.

Desperate Associate Editor clutching at straws here after 30+ failed attempts to secure enough reviews… is anyone out there keen to review an ag-focussed MS about long-term fertilisation effects on soil microbiology & C sequestration? Please DM me if so!

I hope to see you in Vienna!

Nicely timed as I'm just new to Bluesky and finding all my friends - hello everyone, hope you like this paper from our team @ukceh.bsky.social
A table from the article in PNAS outlining facts, challenges, and implications of land use.
Do you have a favourite climate mitigation strategy?
The reality is that it will very likely also have trade-offs. Understanding trade-offs of different climate mitigation options is essential for effective implementation, or implementing them at all.

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on?
