Visited the “Flotilla” Art installation on the River in Westport today. It’s part of the @researchireland.ie funded “Testing the waters” project engaging with local communities around water quality & biodiversity @climatecocentre.bsky.social

Want to help make a difference to ecological policy & trigger real-world impact?🌏🧪 We're looking for individuals & groups to join our first ever Policy Lab with the aim of answering this crucial question👇 💭What is irreplaceable habitat?💭 More info:

“There is much uncertainty in determining the emissions from different soils and land uses … We cannot adequately manage what we do not know.” That’s why many of our projects focus on understanding ecosystem carbon storage under different conditions, to help close the knowledge gap and ...

Last week, our directors and members of the operations team visited our research partners at @unioflimerick.bsky.social. It was great to connect with Prof. Ann Ledwith (Interim Provost) and Prof. Finbar Murphy (Exec. Director, UL Business School).

🌾 What do changing rainfall patterns mean for the world’s nourishing grasslands and the food we rely on? Read @ybuckley.bsky.social's piece in @irishtimes.com: www.irishtimes.com/environment/... @tcddublin.bsky.social

Today the @aicbrn.bsky.social hosted it’s ‘From Gaps to Greenways’ workshop @tcddublin.bsky.social with guest speakers including Jeanne Moore fm #NESC, Senator @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social, Deidre Lynn @npwsireland.bsky.social & Gerry Clabby fm #DECC lots of inspiring discussion @ybuckley.bsky.social

@ybuckley.bsky.social on how biodiversity is intrinsic to heritage: "We use ash trees in Ireland to create hurls ... Ash dieback, a disease exacerbated by climate change, is destroying the species. That loss of natural heritage is impacting our cultural heritage" www.thetimes.com/world/irelan...

We are looking for a research ecologist to join the Board of @britishecologicalsociety.org. This influential role will help to set the strategic direction and priorities of the Society. Deadline 30 June with the role to start in December.

Many thanks to Prof @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social and her team @newcastleuni.bsky.social for hosting us! Great to share our first-year wins and hear all about their incredible Climate+ research.

I'm giving a talk next Thurs 15 May, 6pm, Customs House Dublin 🏛️ 80 years of Irish temperature extremes 🌡️ Informative ✅ Participatory ✅ Funny 🤨 Details + reg: irishmetsociety.org Come along if you're curious about heat, cold & climate 🇮🇪

We were honoured to present this evening at a British Embassy (Dublin) hosted reception for the British-Irish Council. A wonderful opportunity for @ybuckley.bsky.social, @meecoprof.bsky.social and @edhawkins.org to share about our research priorities. @ukri.org @researchireland.ie

Today members of our leadership & operations team met with Climate+ researchers and staff at @ukceh.bsky.social @ybuckley.bsky.social and @meecoprof.bsky.social gave updates from our 1st year, and we heard about the fantastic research underway. Thanks for the warm welcome & the tour UKCEH!

Those of you with connections to schools in the UK, via your kids or otherwise, have they signed up to this amazing scheme NHM is running to help connect kids to nature? www.educationnaturepark.org.uk If not, get them to sign up!

Policy for biodiversity management in a changing world should focus on alleviating land & sea use drivers of loss of evolutionary potential & ecological function to provide adaptation space for biodiversity & ppl to climate change. thanks to @noveleco.bsky.social & @heritagecouncil.ie 1/2

Looking forward to taking part in this important @aicbrn.bsky.social workshop on how to use research to inform biodiversity policy. Register below! At the @climatecocentre.bsky.social we engage with policy through Climate + Policy Response Unit & we're delighted to work with colleagues in AICBRN.

James Moran argues for a balanced approach to Cap that addresses the nexus between climate, nature & people at the RDS Finding Common Ground Festival @climatecocentre.bsky.social

The UK and Ireland nearly cloud free on April 2nd. Amazing colours over land and sea. Thanks to Sentinel satellites.

I have a very immediate appointment need for a junior PD position as a chapter scientist on the @ipcc.bsky.social Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. Initial appointment will be 6 months so I can appoint immediately but extendable to the two years of the report cycle. (1/2)

The @ccacireland.bsky.social & @fiscalcouncil.bsky.social highlight the massive missed opportunity from climate inaction. Estimated to cost €8-26Bn to plug the gap between legal obligations & emissions by 2030. Habitat restoration is very cost effective for reducing emissions & removing CO2.

Our Co-Director @ybuckley.bsky.social from the @climatecocentre.bsky.social joined researchers and professional services staff from @tcddublin.bsky.social & @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social operations teams to celebrate Women and Girls in Science at the British Embassy in Dublin.

Great opportunity to work with us on education & public engagement for the @climatecocentre.bsky.social - you would be providing support for really interesting projects planned over the next few years :-)

Funding for nature-friendly farming can secure reliable income in an increasingly unreliable global marketplace. The desire for Irish agri-food products from overseas should not lead to degradation of our climate, water & nature. www.irishtimes.com/environment/... @climatecocentre.bsky.social

It was a pleasure for members of the team to meet with NI politicians, including DAERA Minister Andrew Muir, and colleagues from @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social this Tuesday at the Research to Reality event in the Stormont Long Gallery. A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising!

If you are in New York, you can now see the warming stripes at a special exhibition at MoMA!

Viking was a lifestyle not an ethnicity! Fascinating talk on population genomics of Europe from Eske Willerslev @acad-euro.bsky.social

Great to hear more about the benefits of #reproducibility from Jacek Kolanowski. Repetition enables research translation & avoiding “valley of death” in development of technology to preclinical stage. Optimization of process via investment in research infrastructure is key @acad-euro.bsky.social

🌎 The imperative of aligning biodiversity & climate policy 🌍 In @uk.theconversation.com, Nathalie Seddon and Audrey Wagner explain why we must embed synergies between #biodiversity & #climate action 🌱 @audreycwagner.bsky.social @oxfordsmithschool.bsky.social ➡️ theconversation.com/the-climate-...

Exciting to hear from Emmanuel Charpentier about the development of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool. Emphasized the importance of fundamental microbiology - important to support a variety of research - not just the trendy areas. @acad-euro.bsky.social
