Lots of King’s Birthday Honours for UK climate scientists… Many congratulations to Andrew Charlton-Perez, Jolene Cook, Gabi Hegerl, Tim Lenton, Peter Cox, and Emily Shuckburgh!

This is also what my students say :-(

Come and work with us!

UK universities face added head-winds with likely new levy on international students www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

A likely outcome? "Scientists conclude solar geoengineering is a bad idea, please do not give us any further funds" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow, who knew of the hidden shield within the UK coins?

A greater awareness and scrutiny of the upper atmosphere is a must to inform on impacts and future regulation of satellite reentry. Let’s hope upcoming missions like the European www.cairt.eu and similar US missions go forward.

Well there you go: I have been meaning to cut back on baby formula www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great opportunity to do cutting edge research on climate tipping points!

It was a pleasure to welcome @alexsobel.co.uk at our headquarters in Leeds last week and introduce him to our research and its impact!

The @egu.eu Atmospheric Sciences Division @egu-as.bsky.social has left twitter and is now on bluesky! Share the word and follow us!

It would be brilliant if a data-driven model could be made using data from a future @esa.int Earth Explorer mission like www.cairt.eu

Hello, BlueSky! We are @ametsoc.org Committee on Middle Atmosphere. Our community focuses on the upper troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere and their relevance to weather and climate. Follow us for community updates! 🌎🌦️

Interested in volunteering to be an author for the IPCC AR7 Working Groups? Nomination process open until 17th April: apps.ipcc.ch/nominations/...

Very timely perspective making the case for supporting future Earth observing missions like www.cairt.eu

Decline in atmospheric monitoring underscores the importance of future missions like www.cairt.eu

Phew! And here was I thinking it would be a coalition of the undead...#spellcheck @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Great little video from the BBC about the Polar Vortex and how it can influence wintertime weather. It would be really good to have more of these sorts of explainer videos out there. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/feat...

Great Opportunity to work at the Royal Meteorological Society @rmets.org as a Science Engagement Officer. If this sounds like you, then please consider applying before Friday March 14 2025 www.charityjob.co.uk/jobs/royal-m...

We continue to see the trend for a weakening of the #PolarVortex at 10 hPa after mid-February. The forcing is there and the tropospheric players are aligning as well. But, lots of details to still watch, especially with timing and what the actual magnitude of the weakening will be.

UK University funding is a mess at the moment. Student fees frozen while costs go up. Fewer international students coming to subsidise courses for UK students. No quotas, so ‘top’ Universities take more students to pay the bills. More news like this to come: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our 2nd CANARI data SPRINT starts today, analysing the CANARI Large Ensemble of climate model simulations. It's a coordinated effort across NERC supported Centres along with international and UK researchers. @noc.ac.uk @ncas-uk.bsky.social @nceoscience.bsky.social @cpom-uk.bsky.social @bas.ac.uk

Further information about the SPRINT is at canari.ac.uk/2025/01/26/c... 📡 Stay tuned as we will be posting highlights as they arise. @britgeosurvey.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social @ukri.org

The CANARI research programme is working on understanding how climate change in the Arctic and North Atlantic region will impact the United Kingdom, with a focus on extreme weather and the potential for rapid, disruptive change. canari.ac.uk

CANARI is producing a range of novel climate, weather, ocean and hydrological model simulations for use by the wider science community. The CANARI HadGEM3 Large Ensemble of climate simulations is now available to use, details at canari.ac.uk/resources_ne...
