This week the HCLIM group are having our working week. What is HCLIM and why should you care? Well, #HCLIM - short for #Harmonie-Climate - is a European high resolution regional climate model, we provide high quality climate data suitable for #ClimateServices + #ClimateAdaptation www.hclim.org

Having now had twenty-odd years of social media depleting our stocks of sanity, like overfishing North Sea cod, I think now might be a good time for a strict social media quota for about 20 years or so, to let stocks recover.

Magical creatures don’t exist, eh? Roughly 400 million years ago, before the birth of trees, there were giant mystery cones called “Prototaxites,” which grew nearly 30 feet tall. We literally have no idea what they were. Plant: no Mushroom: no Animal: no Tell me this isn’t a little bit magic

Temperatures in the Central Pacific El Niño region are the hottest ever measured (top panel), and far above any other El Niño at this time of year. But, if you adjust for the warming of the global ocean, the current trajectory is not so different from other very strong events.

Building in NL's deepest polder (Zuidplaspolder) is a risky gamble. At almost 7 m below sea level, brackish groundwater is seeping up. Building on this weak peat soil requires lowering water levels, causing the land to sink. Houses stay up on piles, but streets, gardens and pipes simply sink away.

An abstract, colorful map based on a digital elevation model showing a grid-like network of ditches and fields, overlaid with fluid, organic textures in shades of orange, copper, white and dark purple, which are old creeks in coastal peat. The image resembles an intricate electronic circuit board or a textured tapestry, with a small text box in the bottom right corner reading "HydrologyNL".

Havtemperaturen fortsætter med at stige, viser DMI's klimaatlas. 📈 Højere vandtemperatur giver mere iltsvind. Derfor skal udledningen af kvælstof meget længere ned, end gødskningsloven lægger op til, hvis fjordene igen skal blive rene. #dkpol #dkgreen politiken.dk/del/jmDIFOAH...

»Det er alligevel lidt chokerende«, siger ekspert om ny prog

Nye beregninger fra DMI viser, at hedebølger i havet bliver normale. Det giver værre iltsvind, medmindre vi skærer endnu mere ned på landbrugets udledning af kvælstof, advarer forskere og tænketank.
