This wouldn’t have been possible without the many contributions from the active impact Modeling community so great to have you all on board e.g. @FishMip @AgMIPnews @WimThiery @HMuellerSchmied @simon_gosling @peatfunc and many more
Check the protocol at protocol.isimip.org
All you ever wanted to know about the ongoing round of @ISIMIPImpacts simulations (ISIIMP3a) is now compiled in one place: new community paper led by Katja Frieler @PIK_Climate in @EGU_GMD: gmd.copernicus.org/articles/…

“Restoring drained peatlands is one of the most cost-effective measures to reduce emissions in the agricultural sector and improve biodiversity.

Excited to see the @peatfunc presentation at the #Power2Peatlands conference. It is a pleasure to know that our OPTRAM results contributed to more accurate water table estimation in peatlands.

Bots like this don't just emerge spontaneously. Someone programmed this account to promote disinformative talking points aimed at weaponizing green-oriented individuals against climate action. When you see something like this, block & report, and ask your followers to do same.

New paper: we show that S2 satellite data can be used to monitor temporal water table dynamics in restored and intact #peatlands with low tree cover. Data from Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Canada, USA. Funded by @SuomenAkatemia #NatureRestoration #EarthEngine sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We're not even half way through summer in Canada and wildfires have consumed over 10 million hectares of forest. That's about 10 times the amount of any year since 2016. This is more than an aberration but an indicator of what's to come in future years as the planet warms

And just to make absolutely sure you get your full dose of daily climate f&%kery, here is the graphic for Antarctic sea-ice extent through July 6, 2023.
For the statistically inclined, this extent sets a new modern record, at 5.27 standard deviations below the 1991-2020 mean.

📢New paper out! We show how spectra of 9 boreal #Sphagnum moss species, collected from waterlogged natural conditions after snowmelt, change when the mosses are desiccated. @AaltoUniversity @AaltoENG Funded by @SuomenAkatemia
