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...

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...

📢Global Carbon Budget 2024📢 Despite some predicting a peak in global fossil CO2 emissions, we estimate growth of 0.8% [-0.3% to 1.9%] in 2024. Maybe a peak next year? Is it all bad news, or can we find some good news? essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... 1/

Great opportunity for people at all levels to get involved.

EGU has chosen Climate Hazard and Risk as the 2025-2028 Policy Priority Area and is looking for task force members! The task force will support the transfer of climate hazard and risk-related knowledge to policymakers and promote evidence-informed policymaking. More info in the link below!

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

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).

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · last yr.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Great opportunity here!

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)
