If you haven't seen it yet, our international Conference on Connections between Biodiversity, Climate, and Human Behaviour is taking shape: cbc-conference.org Abstract deadline next Friday, 14 April. Great keynote speakers and nice side-events, please check out the programme or get in touch!

What drives Western European heatwaves, and why are they intensifying? 🌍🔥 A new study shows a single atmospheric circulation pattern explains most events, and a large share of warming. Read the full article here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... #ClimateScience #Heatwaves #MachineLearning

Shifts in the atmosphere’s circulation patterns are reshaping the Southern Hemisphere’s climate. 🌏 @jumindlin.bsky.social & @marleneclimate.bsky.social (@unileipzig.bsky.social, @meteoleipzig.bsky.social) contributed to a study on the drivers of these changes. 🔗 expect-project.eu/resource/exp...

Check out our new PNAS paper (on changes of the SH eddy driven jet) led by Julia Mindlin 🌎🌍🌏

The methodology of our forecast is documented here: wcd.copernicus.org/articles/1/3... @marleneclimate.bsky.social @carlschleussner.bsky.social @TobiasGeiger

EGU-FOMO? Here's a little thread with contributions from my group:

Can we predict euro weather regimes on S2S timescales with machine learning? When including spatiotemporal information of stratospheric winds and tropical olr, our model shows competitive skill 👇

‪According to recent @wcrpclimate.bsky.social research, some regional shifts—like amplified Arctic warming—match predictions. However, climate model ensembles do not well simulate others, such as tropical sea surface temperatures and monsoon rainfall. Why?

Late to the party, but I also want to promote this new paper which will hopefully spark discussions in the conmunity: "A shifiting climate: New paradigms and challenges for (early career) scientists in extreme weather research" rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Join us @UniLeipzig! Three open positions in the climate causality research group (phd, postdoc, data scientist) on drivers of extreme events ❄️🌡🌧 Details here: speicherwolke.uni-leipzig.de/index.php/s/...
