Might have to pivot this account to an International Conference Centre Kyoto fan page

An Omani mediator said last night a peace deal between the US and Iran was within reach. This morning, the US and Israel bombed Iran. No imminent threat. No legal basis. Another illegal war dressed up as “security” and “democracy”.

New paper in GMD presenting our Simple Climate Model FRIDA-Climv1.0.1, which deals with the climate representation in our coupled human-Earth IAM FRIDA! 1/N gmd.copernicus.org/articles/19/...

FRIDA-Clim v1.0.1: a simple climate model with process-based carbon cycle used in the integrated assessment model FRIDAv2.1

Abstract. The new global Feedback-based knowledge Repository for IntegrateD Assessments version 2.1 (FRIDAv2.1) Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) seeks to study the dynamics of the coupled human-Earth...

New paper in GMD presenting the climate impact functions in our new IAM FRIDAv2.1! We cover a broad range of impact channels at the global level, from Energy supply/demand to crops, mortality, labour productivity, etc. 1/N gmd.copernicus.org/articles/19/...

The representation of climate impacts in the FRIDAv2.1 Integrated Assessment Model

Abstract. Feedbacks from the climate to other components of the coupled human-Earth system are expected to strongly influence the co-evolution of human society and its environment. Representing these ...

New paper in ERL in which we study the effect of a long-known issue in climate emulators: that we typically calibrate them on only 150 years of 4xCO2 ESM runs. This a problem as we know the climate isn't in equilibrium after this time, but running ESMs is 1/N iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Was fortunate to see The Voice of Hind Rajab with a director Q&A the other day; so heartbreaking it feels odd to recommend viewing it but it was the most powerful reminder that these genocidal crimes cannot be forgotten. And gutting to realise her story is but one of tens of thousands.

Two years ago today, Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces. She was five years old. On 29th January 2024, Hind and her relatives were fired on by an Israeli tank when trying to flee to safety. Everyone in the vehicle was killed by the initial attack except Hind and her 15-year-old cousin, Layan.

New paper today in GMD describing the Sea Level Rise module in the process-based FRIDA IAM, to examine the role of SLR impacts and adaptation in future scenarios. Also given as a standalone SLR model named FRISIA! Huge shoutout to Lennart Ramme for leading this gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Newly published: an overview of FRIDAv2.1, a new IAM to model the coupled human-Earth system (including climate impacts!) gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Update: I read exactly zero pages while away, instead devoting my time to eating an industrial amount of houmus… winter reading it is

And what of the technologies used in the IAMs to allow for this theoretical overshoot? Luckily the authors have managed to publish a sequel asking just this question! I’ll be diving in this month while visiting family in Iraq.

I read this over the summer - quite the read! Thoroughly recommend for anyone working in climate especially on scenarios or overshoot. It’s a pessimistic read which unfortunately is hard to disagree with; not sure what to make of all of it but very thought-provoking.
