We welcomed the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) community to Space Park Leicester this week for the Annual Science meeting where we discussed lots of exciting advances (and challenges!) in modelling the land surface environment.

Great poster presentation from @shrijanap.bsky.social and I’m really proud to see how far she’s come during her PhD! She’s grown so much in confidence, presenting her excellent research on wildfire anomalies at ESA #LPS2025

Large @physicsuol.bsky.social and @nceoscience.bsky.social contingent at ESA #LPS2025 this week!

Great week at ESA #LPS2025 presenting on wetlands, methane, wildfires, greenhouse gases and drought!

We'll be at ESA Living Planet presenting on lots of topics including methane, wetlands, GHG measurements, machine learning, drought and wildfires :-) @esaclimate.bsky.social @esa.int @nceoscience.bsky.social

Yesterday, our staff joined the @spacecentre.bsky.social Centre in celebrating a belated Earth Day! In our aims to improve our local area and get outside, we have launched monthly litter picks, supporting efforts to keeping our Space City rubbish free. #EarthDay #Sustainability #PlasticPollution

Cuts to #science of >50% at NASA and >75% at NOAA would end US climate and space science research. NASA cuts are '...an "extinction level" event': arstechnica.com/space/2025/0... "At this funding level, Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research is eliminated...": www.science.org/content/arti...

The Global Carbon Budget is well known, less known is the work done on Regional Carbon Budgets (figure shows Australia). The next phase of work on regional carbon budgets will focus on the country level, with lots of rich detail to be explored. academic.oup.com/nsr/article/...

I'm looking to hire a post-doc to work on tropical wetland #methane modelling. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, get in touch. Happy to have an informal chat before applications :-) Closing date 4th May. jobs.le.ac.uk/vacancies/11...

New list for people working on #wildfire modelling and observations via @emryslda.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/did:...

One of the more impressive venues for a NERC meeting!

Preliminary data suggests that the global average increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration in 2024 will be a record. Not just a little record, but 25% higher than the previous record. (This is the global average, as opposed to Moana Loa) gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/... 1/

The final peer-reviewed version of the Global Carbon Budget 2024 is now published: essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/... Only slight updates compared to the submitted version last November, mainly related to updated data. Get a summary of the results here: bsky.app/profile/glen...

Great opportunity for people at all levels to get involved.

Apropos of everything, I keep a very frequently (these days) updated list of internships/jobs across the wx-climate enterprise here: wx.erau.edu/about/opport.... Open to anyone, not just our students. I will start including higher-level positions than I normally do (normally focus on entry-level).

Hope all my NOAA colleagues/collaborators are doing ok :-( If anyone's got experience in land surface modelling, wetland hydrology, methane emissions, etc and is looking for a job, let me know!

My team is working to pilot a method for tracking the effects of climate shocks on people. If you or anyone you know was affected by the Wildfires in California, please fill out this SHORT ANONYOUS survey (and share it with your networks): go.american.edu/2025LA-wildf...

PSA that the FATESmodel can now in principle do grazing, thanks to @ckoven.bsky.social ‘s excellent efforts. People who measure the C,N or P efficiency of grazing animals, please do chime in if you can help us refine it!

You know the curse is real when you see fans stretching their hamstrings just in case before entering the stadium! @tottenhamhotspur.com

Come work with us in #NextGenCarbon! (postdoc position in Julia Pongratz’ group in Munich) job-portal.lmu.de/jobposting/6...

These websites host a lot of critical data as well and they are currently not available. For example, the NOAA CarbonTracker model is a world-leading data product, crucial for a lot of science we do - gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/carbont... (currently not loading).

Great opportunity here!

A great opportunity for non-UK based early-career researchers who want to work in the UK. The Newton International Fellowship scheme just opened - royalsociety.org/grants/newto... If anyone's interested in working with me at @physicsuol.bsky.social and @nceoscience.bsky.social , get in touch :-)

EGU-goers, make this 🧨session happen with us at #EGU25 @eurogeosciences.bsky.social and explain your research in just the 1000 most common English words. The first European edition of the Up-Goer 5 challenge 🚀🚀 is a comms session so you can submit an extra abstract blogs.egu.eu/geolog/2024/...

physics of climate impacts 101: - Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves) - Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall) - Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk) - Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms) - Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

NCEO Prof Martin Wooster was interviewed on #SkyNews Breakfast with Anna Jones this morning (8.40am if you watch the recording) discussing the wildfires in California - news.sky.com/watch-live @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social @space4climate.bsky.social

Thank you for being part of a record-breaking #AGU24! 🎉 With over 30,000 attendees, this year was truly unforgettable. Mark your calendars for #AGU25 in New Orleans, Louisiana, from 15–19 December 2025. See you next year! 🗓️✨ https://buff.ly/3Bs1eQj

AGPhew! My first ever AGU all done :-) #AGU24

#AGU24 poster done and recovering in the puppy pawsitivity pen!

🔥 Fires shape ecosystems & influence climate, but how well do CMIP6 models simulate them? New study (with PI Sandy Harrison) evaluates global fire simulations, showing major improvements since CMIP5 but highlights gaps in recent fire trends: gmd.copernicus.org/articles/17/... #CMIP6 #FireModeling

The real #AGU2024 question: Is it possible to get $725 worth of stickers from the exhibitor hall? ;-)

📢 18-month postdoc in my lab doing drought modelling with either the UK land surface model JULES or machine learning. Up to you which. Please share widely (thanks) www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de... Closes: 18th January

Some of my team’s presenting posters at #AGU2024 today. One on extreme fire attribution and one on SIF. Please do drop by if interested :-)

should probably host these on the website somewhere, but for now, here's a link to our media kit with logos in there drive.google.com/drive/folder...

📣 Request for signal boost! Calling all woman of color working in or studying near-surface geophysics at AGU24 this week! Connect with colleagues tomorrow (Wednesday) for an informal lunchtime social. Reach out to kmkeat at rutgers dot edu asap for details. ⚒️🧪 #Geophysics #WomenInScience #AGU24

Do you want to know the atmospheric concentrations of methane, CO2 and CO around New York City? The first version of our Data sharing website is live! nyaaq.ldeo.columbia.edu/content/data... The page is still a work in progress. What are we missing? What other info would be useful?

#AGU24 highlight… Amber! #noaa

Survived the first day of #AGU24, saw some excellent talks/posters and excited to be presenting our work as part of my UKRI #FLF Fellowship on developing a tropical wetland methane digital twin on Thursday morning (B41M-1472, 08:30 - 12:20, Hall B-C). Hope to see some of you there! :-)
