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. 🎞️ youtu.be/s9fBwN5-kxM #UKCEH #EnvironmentalScience 🧪

#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."

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. #lakes #ClimateChange @ukceh.bsky.social

The stripes go from blue to red (cooler to warmer) from the 1940s to present.Climate stripes for Windermere south basin, showing long term warming.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

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.
Two future possibilities of the future warming stripes - rapid action or delayed action.

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!

Do you study soil microbes and their response to climate change? Consider presenting your research at #EGU25 at our session SSS4.5, which is in its 5th year. I hope to see you in Vienna!

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. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
