Declining planetary albedo is contributing hugely to the acceleration of global warming, but why is the planet getting darker? This new PhD studentship, with Mark Williamson and me, sets out to answer that vital question. Please retweet. exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…

The State of Wildfires 2023-24 report is published in the journal Earth Syst Sci Data . A similar annual report will now be published every year. Full report: essd.copernicus.org/articles/16/36…

New preprint out today highlighting that the duration of a 1.5C overshoot matters. We find that all climate tipping points would be avoided if global warming over 1.5C is restricted to 30 years and peak warming kept below 2.5C. doi.org/10.5194/egusph… Peter Cox Research at Exeter

Have you heard of physical inconsistencies in our state-of-the-art climate modelling chain (used e.g. in IPCC assessments)? Let's take a look at the current modelling framework for Earth system & Integrated assessment models (ESM—IAM framework) 🧵👇 1/16 #ESM2025research

New paper sets out priority areas for the international climate research community to deliver improved scientific support to international climate policy. @Tavares_RM ESM2025 University of Leeds Natural Environment Research Council #ClimateResearchNet

🧗 Calling all Early Career Researchers! Your insights are essential. Help us shape better support for ECRs in EU projects by taking this short survey: 📋 bit.ly/surveyECR Let’s ensure ECR voices are heard! #YESS2Science #EarlyCareerScientists #ClimateResearchNet

🔚& to wrap up our series on the ESM-IAM framework..🌍Advancing this framework is critical for robust modelling of how land-based mitigation & carbon removal strategies form part of a wider mitig. strategy. But we're still far from a fully coupled system.🧵👇 #ESM2025research 1/8
