#thatfeeling - when you walk unsuspectingly into your lab meeting one autumn Monday and realize that, whoa, yeah, #fieldseason does seem to be over… *so* much cool science going in with this lot!! @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social @unibergen.bsky.social @cesam-uib.bsky.social #ProfLife #ProudSupervisor

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: We have downgraded the #US climate action to "Critically insufficient" - it's the most aggressive, comprehensive and consequential climate policy rollback the CAT has ever analysed. 🔗 bit.ly/CAT_US

Det er ti år siden Parisavtalen ble vedtatt. Likevel har ikke alvoret sunket inn hos verdens oljeproduserende land. Det planlegges utvinning av mer enn dobbelt så mye olje i 2030 som vi kan forbrenne for å holde oppvarmingen rundt dagens nivå - 1,5 grader over førindustriell tid.

This work was based on the amazing International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) and funded by @ec.europa.eu @nordborn.bsky.social & others. Thanks to my 38 wonderful coauthors, including @icbarrio.bsky.social @annebeejay.bsky.social @robertgbjork.bsky.social @matsbjorkman.bsky.social (5/6)

Our findings indicate that tundra borealization might not involve rapid displacement of tundra by boreal species, but rather an overall increase in the abundance of boreal species with already established presence in the Arctic. (4/6)

At the species level, boreal-tundra species colonised Arctic plots more often than boreal specialists. Boreal species that colonised more often were shorter, and more likely to be shrubs and graminoids. (3/6)

Half of our studied plots (1137) experienced colonisations by or increases in abundance of boreal species. At the community level, borealization was greater at sites in Eurasia, alpine zones, closer to treeline, and at warmer and wetter sites. (2/6)

🌲 Boreal-tundra species drive Arctic plant borealization 🌲 Our new study in #EcologyLetters quantifies tundra plant borealization, assesses its main drivers and identifies the species & traits contributing to borealization. doi.org/10.1111/ele.... 🧵 (1/6) 🌐🧪🌱🌍

Vi har et forslag - hva om vi sluttet å behandle klima- og miljøpolitikken som en utgiftspost og heller snakket og regnet mer på hva vi kunne *tjene* og *spare* på å unngå ytterligere skade? www.dagsavisen.no/debatt/a-red...

As the fall semester looms, this is an amazing teaching thread! Great storytelling and good resources for students across multiple modalities (articles, video, etc). Perfect for teaching climate change, but also for showing process of science/how we know things to be true

Eunice Foote conducted an experiment showing that atmospheric CO2 traps heat. OTD in 1856, she listened to a man (John Henry of the Smithsonian) present her results to the American Acad. for the Advancement of Science. Henry downplayed the significance of Foote’s finding. #HistSTM #WomeninSTEM 🧪🌎

Dette er verdenshistoriens mest varsla hungersnød: IPC og FN erklærer hungersnød i Gaza, der 641 000 mennesker lider av katastrofal matmangel og minst 132 000 barn står i fare for å dø av under- og feilernæring. Dei neste vekene blir hungersnøden spådd og spreie seg til Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif. He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza. Speechless.

Israel has assassinated the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza, Netanyahu's government carried out the assassination after the team of journalists spent months reporting on Israeli war crimes, collecting daily evidence of ongoing atrocities.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Two weeks ago: “The Committee to Protect Journalists is gravely worried about the safety of Al Jazeera Arabic’s Gaza correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, who is being targeted by an Israeli military smear campaign, which he believes is a precursor to his assassination.”

Den voldsomme utbyggingen av hytter i Vang i Valdres er nok et eksempel på nedbygging av natur til fordel for utenbygds utbyggere, skriver Marit Utheim og Gjermund Gjestvang.

🌍 Green gains, blue losses From 2003–2021, plants on land grew more, but ocean productivity declined, likely due to climate warming. Land is boosting Earth’s carbon uptake, but oceans are showing signs of stress. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ClimateCrisis #SciComm 🧪
