Exchange day for early career researchers between @univie.ac.at and #IIASA 🌎🥂

Heartbreaking truth: At just 1.5°C of #warming (where we already are), 70–90% of #CoralReefs could vanish. At 2.0°C, almost all (>99%) are gone. We’re watching a living wonder cross a #TippingPoint. #MarineEcology 🧪🌍🌐🌊🔥

Wenn in Redaktionen Stellen gestrichen werden, trifft das auch jene, die nie einen fixen Schreibtisch hatten: die freien Journalist:innen. Diese Krise betrifft uns alle – ob fix oder frei. Aber freier Journalismus ist kein Hobby – ohne uns wären viele Zeitungsseiten weiß!

“Best 2025 paper to fall asleep to” – NY Times⭐⭐⭐ “I would have accepted it, if only they had a detailed limitations section, an 11-month-long analysis, and the receipt of that Sponge cake I ate in 1997 in Tokyo” – Rev.2⛔ “At least it’s not on my desk anymore” – PhD advisors📚 doi.org/10.1002/oik....

We are still accepting applications for this 2-year postdoc in France! The central theme is on modelling species distributions in the context of agricultural pest risk assessments at large scales, so we are looking for someone with strong quantitative skills. Please advertise widely! 🌐

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
