Probably the best example of a rapid bottom-up energy transition: Pakistan imported more Chinese solar last year than any country on earth. No big subsidy, no rooftop scheme, no feed-in tariff. Solar is now around a quarter of electricity. More in my piece👇 www.thenewworld.co.uk/jan-rosenow-...

I’m recruiting a PhD student to join our lab in the fall of 2027. If you’re excited about phylogenetics, comp bio, paleobiology, stats theory, macroevolution, etc. please get in touch! Folks at #Evol2026, you can talk to @brpetrucci.bsky.social & @sigournie.bsky.social to learn more about our lab

We have just witnessed France’s hottest day in recorded history. The severity of this heatwave is truly hard to comprehend. Over 50 millions people will be under red-level extreme heat warnings tomorrow. Sadly, what’s going on there is a foreshadowing of our future. Data: DWD/Météo France

Ok you guys. Here’s the deal. The M7.1 in Venezuela was upgraded to a M7.2. AND it was followed shortly by a M7.5. Not good.

My colleague at @au.dk Geoscience has a PhD position open. Apply by August 1 if you like cosmogenic nuclides, paleoclimate, and desert (and/or dessert?) formation! Perfect for students who are looking for a combination of labwork and very exciting fieldwork... phd.nat.au.dk/for-applican...

Climate change will affect everyone, but it does not affect everyone equally. The pollution of our climate is classist, racist, sexist. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Europe's current heatwave isn't just hot...it's historically early. theconversation.com/europe-is-ba...

How average and extreme summer temperatures are changing in Western Europe. Graph: Robert Rohde. This will continue until we reach net zero emissions, whether you like it or not: it’s physics. @rarohde.bsky.social

We often say this heat wave is a glimpse of our future. That's true, but it's only part of the story. Conditions like these will become more common, but even more intense heat waves will then emerge, with worsening impacts on people and ecosystems. Graphic from climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2025/t...

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Aujourd'hui a été la 3e journée la plus chaude jamais enregistrée en France, tous mois confondus. Et le mercure va continuer de grimper, jusqu'à au moins ce week-end, voire début juillet. La barre des 40 °C sera fréquemment dépassée. Bienvenue dans un monde réchauffé www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

Today was the 3rd hottest day ever measured in FR! 🔥 But..we are only in JUNE, making it by far the earliest! One heatwave/month is our scary horizon 📈 It means no respite left for vulnerable people and collapse of the vital services provided by ecosystems 🌱 All of this is for tomorrow! 😱

Grim timing yesterday as news of the Met Office Red alert flashed up on phones right in the middle of a big event about new Met Office forecasts for June 2056, showing potential peak temperatures of 45C in England. Stopping the CO2 emissions driving this is essential, but we also need to prepare.

Our researchers have been awarded over €9m for three major research projects – two into corals and one on historic maritime trade. Congratulations to Prof Gavin Foster, Prof Joerg Wiedenmann and Prof Craig Lambert on their prestigious ERC Advanced Grants! Read more: tr.ee/Pmc27i

Being born in a less privileged country often feels like serving a sentence for a crime you never committed. No matter who you are, you are constantly asked to prove that you deserve the opportunities, trust, and consideration that others are given by default.

I am appalled this happened. The Canadian government should not be blocking scientists from attending conferences.

Don't expect many of us at @cerege.bsky.social to visit you this summer. It's hard to justify, in a satisfactory manner, what would motivate us to leave our country of residence for yours.

"The applicant has not justified, in a satisfactory manner, what will motivate him to return to his country of residence at the end of an authorized stay." The #Canadian government apparently think that scientists would rather work in Canada rather than at the French @cnrs.fr.

#Canada, you too? @jysuarezibarra.bsky.social, Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow in our lab, was particularly enthusiastic to attend the @goldschmidt-confer.bsky.social conference this Summer. But, because Jaime is Colombian, you rejected his visa application.

Here, www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... we show that care is needed with the heavily crusted N. pachyderma, as the main shell and thick crust show different geochemistries and different sensitivities to environmental change. This is crucial to palaeo-reconstructions where %crust varies.

And here, www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... we ask how (trace) element ratios behave in G/ bullies at low temperatures, past where other calibrations have stopped. We also throw in a few weird Arctic experiments like decoupling carbonate, ~glitter~ and salinity.

Happy Pride Month! Did you know, palaeontology has more queer people than average population! Over 30% in Early Careers! 1 in 3 junior palaeontologist you'll meet, will be queer. This stat drops with seniority. Palaeontology underperforms across all other diversity metrics otherwise. 🧵

Why would a species of ocean plankton coil its shells to the right for millions of years and then suddenly, flip to the left? To find out more see Flipping Plankton in PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... by Bridget Wade , Paul Pearson, David King and Valeria Luciani

Perhaps the fact that we are conducting an unprecedented experiment with the only home we have, by digging up and burning massive amounts of fossil fuels that is driving global change at rates 10X faster than the most recent warming of this magnitude that occurred oh about 55 million years ago? 🧐

This is what climate breakdown looks like:

Looks like one of those terrifying 2050 #climate projection graphics, but no, that’s a short-term forecast for France until… May 29th.

32.3ºC at Kew Gardens is the hottest May temperature on record at the station since records began in 1881, beating its previous May maximum by 2ºC (30.3ºC, 25th May 1922). It beat its maximum temperature date record for the 24th of May by OVER 2ºC (30.2ºC, 1922), exceptional.

Curious where your back yard was when dinosaurs (or even earlier) roamed the Earth? @bramvaes.bsky.social, who joined the team, contributed to the development of Paleolatitude.org during his time at Utrecht University, a fun yet powerful tool to track any place on Earth back to the time of Pangaea.

Ever wondered where your back yard was millions of years ago? 🗺️ With Paleolatitude.org, you can find that out yourself! Our fully updated web tool is now live, and the accompanying paper is published in PLOS ONE (DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0346817).

The Amazon rainforest was hit with two severe droughts during 2023–2024. Models suggest that just over half the forest will not recover within seven years, which is the maximum time between droughts in recent decades. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/BKQ150YySOw
