Excited to share our new study in Environment International showing that tire chemicals transform in the atmosphere into complex mixtures that trigger inflammation in human immune cells. Grateful to co-leads @jliggio.bsky.social @aabdulsater.bsky.social!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Atmospheric aging of tire rubber antioxidants forms complex mixtures that trigger inflammation in human macrophages

Antioxidants added to tires to prevent degradation have recently been recognized as emerging environmental contaminants. While their acute aquatic tox…

🌆🌱 At #EGU26, Lukas Emmenegger shared a useful “price vs. precision” rule for urban CO₂ monitoring: €100k → 0.1 ppm €10k → 1 ppm €1k → 10 ppm "Low-cost sensor" ≠ "low-cost network." The real investment lies in expertise, calibration, and data processing needed to make the data actionable.

🏙️ Big results from #ICOSCities presented by Werner Kutsch at #EGU26! 4 years of cutting-edge GHG measurements in Paris, Munich & Zurich show that combining direct observations with inverse modelling can dramatically improve urban emission inventories💡 Learn more 👉 icos-cp.eu/projects/icos-cities

🗣️ A new ICOS Talk coming soon! This edition from @horizoneu.bsky.social projects AVENGERS, EYE-CLIMA and PARIS explores remote sensing of the land biosphere to support quantification of #carbonemissions and removals. 📅 26th May 2026, 14:00-15:00 CEST 📍 Register here: www.icos-cp.eu/news-and-eve...

Global Atmosphere Watch monitors the pulse of the planet. Close to 300 experts from 70 countries part of this network meet at WMO Headquarters to assess progress and chart the future of translating research science into usable services that save lives & protect livelihoods. 📰 bit.ly/4caFPLe

We have a pretty good understanding of the differences between GHG emission estimates, but when it comes to some sectors (e.g., land), estimates seem all over the place! Why is this? @wflamb.bsky.social has you covered... essd.copernicus.org/articles/18/... 1/

Cutting methane is one of the fastest, cheapest ways to slow warming. The latest Global Methane Status Report shows that the 30% by 2030 goal remains within reach, but action must accelerate: https://ow.ly/gGHz50YC6FL. #Methane250

📢Abstract submission closes next week! The Call for Abstracts for #ICOS2026SC closes Friday 6th March 2026 at 15:00 CET. Don't delay - get that abstract in on time! Submit your abstract here: https://www.icos-cp.eu/news-and-events/science-conference/icos2026sc/abstract-submission

The ICOS newsletter for February is out! This month we announced a new series of ICOS Talks, contributed to the Integrated Ocean Carbon Research (IOC‐R) Report, and welcomed Duane Brooks, the new Project Controller, to the Head Office. Read more: preview.mailerlite.io/preview/7815...

The @egubg.bsky.social Early Career Scientists team invited me to share my thoughts about #AcademicMentalHealth and what to do about the ongoing crisis. Some folks wonder: I am an Earth System scientist, why do I keep talking about mental health? @egu.eu m.youtube.com/watch?v=KYea...

📊 A 2023–2024 survey from the #ICOSCities project shows that residents of Paris and Munich have more faith in local authorities than in national governments when it comes to climate action. 👉 Learn more: https://www.icos-cp.eu/fluxes/4/citizens-count-local-action

Work led by CIRES' Ben Riddell-Young — which shows recent methane growth is driven by microbial emissions from landfills, agricultural operations, and wetlands — is featured in a new story in the @nytimes.com “There’s more waste and more cows." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/c...

Methane Hunters Track Swamp Gas That Is Driving Climate Warming

Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those from industrial sources, prompting concerns about a climate feedback loop.

A temporary weakening of the atmosphere’s chemical capacity to break down methane, combined with elevated emissions from tropical wetlands, drove the sharp increase in atmospheric methane observed in 2020 to 2021, according to a new study in Science. https://scim.ag/4kmtoOQ

Why methane surged in the atmosphere during the early 2020s

The atmospheric methane (CH4) growth rate surged after 2019, peaking at 16.2 parts per billion per year (ppb year−1) in 2020 before declining to 8.6 ppb year−1 in 2023. Using multiple atmospheric inve...
