Some of the @ukceh.bsky.social #EGU25 troop managed to get together for a photo. So much high quality research being disseminated for the benefit of the scientific community. We should be proud of ourselves. #excellence #integrity #teamwork

And please feel free to come and talk to me after the session if you have any questions #EGU25

At #EGU25 this morning (09:50 CEST in M2), don't miss @drexomole.bsky.social Emma Barton's talk on the strengthening of extreme storms by soil moisture conditions from observations and future changes using a model projection ⛈️ Abstract:

Engaging talk by Ben Maybee on a model experiment testing mature storm sensitivity to the scale of soil moisture heterogeneity @dougparkermeteo.bsky.social @johnmarsham.bsky.social @universityofleeds.bsky.social with Chris Taylor, Conni Klein & me @ukceh.bsky.social

Since 2019 we’ve co-led major interdisciplinary research programmes with combined funding of £108.7 million. Learn about the key successes of the UK Climate Resilience Programme, the Clean Air Programme and the ExCALIBUR Programme ⤵️ www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/new...

Leeds researcher, Dr Shaunna Burke, is running the Everest Marathon to raise funds for cancer charities — while living with incurable cancer herself. An incredible story of resilience hope and purpose. 💙 👉 Read more: www.leeds.ac.uk/main-index/n...

Fantastic talk from Rebecca Oliver implementing a much needed process in JULES, the response of photosynthesis to temperature and CO2 - critical for understanding global carbon uptake in the future EGU25-2522 #EGU25 @ukceh.bsky.social @egubg.bsky.social

Renewables are a win-win-win-win on cost, energy security, jobs & climate. Carbon capture may play a role, but to not reap benefits of local clean power & instead stay tied to foreign fossil fuels & their volatile price is crazy, even without climate change www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Interested in climate modelling? Our Climate Modelling Summer School covers the fundamental principles of climate modelling through a mixture of lectures and practical assignments over twelve days. 🗓️ 7 - 19 September 📍Cambridge Apply today: ncas.ac.uk/study-with-u...

A little bingo card for everybody at #EGU25 this week!

🌡️ A new study by UKCEH & @universityofleeds.bsky.social reveals how wet soils can amplify heatwaves in vulnerable regions See our news: www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med... Read the full study: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... @johnmarsham.bsky.social @agu.org #heatwaves #HeatStress

Excellent talk by Christopher Taylor showing how soil moisture controls convective initiations across Africa through mescoscale circulations - feedback influenced by direction of low level and steering level wind (directional shear = more intense convection) EGU25-3078 #EGU25 @ukceh.bsky.social

Excited to be here at #EGU25 interested in surface effects (especially soil moisture / irrigation) on extreme storms and assocaited hazards (particulary lightning) Talk on Thursday 09:50 in M2 @egu-as.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social

#EGU25 is well underway! Congrats to our UKCEH colleagues who have already presented earlier this Monday 👏🏼. And watch out for more talks from us today and the rest of the week 🟦 See our full line-up: www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med...

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/ @nwas.org: bit.ly/4cz2RtC

Oh no! Several of the Regional Climate Centers have had their funding lapse through DOC/NOAA. These institutes are critical for connecting weather and climate data and services to local communities across the United States. Spread the word to drive attention and support!

Time in nature can also improve mental health. I find there's nothing better to relieve stress than being outside surrounded by natural flora and fauna 🌳🌻🐦‍⬛🦢🏞🦊 a funny story to tell after (stuck in a bog, fell in a puddle, bellyflop over fence after misjudging a stile) is a bonus #mindfulness

Spending time in nature helps us reconnect with what we’re trying to protect. 🌿 Looking to unplug this weekend? Try: 🌳 A walk in a nearby green space 🌼 Learning to ID local plants 🧹 Joining a clean-up 🪴 Starting a compost pile What’s your go-to eco weekend habit?

Surely one of the most SHOCKING graph ever! 😱 Arctic amplification at work... 📈🔥 Aug. 2024 mean temp. in Longyearbyen (78°N) was 11°C! vs During the 20th century it was... ~5°C! ... If you know a climate denier, ask him to explain this graph! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

There is absolutely no question "Developing cities as shared environments for humans and nature" is the only way forward #climatecrisis

This highlights the importance of climate research but also science communication. Translating research into actionable mitigation strategies requires effective communication to non-specialists. Having just contributed to a press release I am reminded just how inaccessible science speak can be

The irrigation-induced drying out of the Aral Sea has caused rock deep in the mantle beneath the former lake to uplift and flow like a viscous liquid: @naturegeosci.bsky.social #Geosciences

Wow. I knew irrigation impacted ground water and regional weather. I had no idea it could impact deep Earth and surface/mantle processes. This highlights the need for more efficient irrigation practices in the face of increasing food demand #globalchallenge #foodsecurity

The irrigation-induced drying out of the Aral Sea has caused rock deep in the mantle beneath the former lake to uplift and flow like a viscous liquid, at rates of a few millimetres per year, according to a study published in Nature Geoscience. https://go.nature.com/4j5Xchk 🧪 ⚒️

This is very important work. As someone who analyses fluxes as part of my research, I know that the interpretation of results requires an understanding of uncertainties in measurements in order to draw reliable conclusions #science #research #integrity
