New study by Werner et al. quantifying impact of model resolution for large-scale ice cover modelling (e.g. Icefields) with IGM. doi.org/10.5194/tc-2... We find coarse resolution creates much bias and impact of increasing res. on ice volume and speed is non-linear: more of a step-wise function

New paper alert ! 🏔️🧪 «Topographic controls on asynchronous glacial maxima in the European Alps during the Late Pleistocene» doi.org/10.1130/G539... In this study lead by Dr. Elena Serra: we show that a major asynchrony in the local LGM of 2 major Alps glaciers does not have to be climate-related.

The Central England temperature record represents the longest series of monthly temperature observations in existence. Recent temperatures there are over 1.5 degrees Celsius above the 1961-1990 average, and over 2 degrees above preindustrial values. Chart: UK Met Office.

5 years ago...when we couldn't get into the lab due to COVID, I started compiling an Icelandic Ice Sheet geochronology database. Whelp, it's finally open for discussion on ESSD. Looking forward to see what we can collectively do with this: essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... 🧪

ICEland-1: A geochronological database for reconstructing Late Quaternary glacier, relative sea level, and paleoclimate patterns in Iceland

Abstract. We present a comprehensive and quality-controlled chronological database for past glacier, relative sea level, and paleoclimate changes in Iceland during the Late Quaternary: ICEland-1. The ...

This seems to argue against the Hansen et al. argument for high climate sensitivity, as laid out in this paper: academic.oup.com/oocc/article...

Really excited to see this paper out!! Led by @vtcoop.bsky.social we show that if you use cold and warm paleoclimates together, you can reduce uncertainty in Earth's climate sensitivity by quantifying the pattern effect and more precisely constrain future climate change www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Antarctica’s future beyond 2100: high emissions drive major long-term ice loss. New study in Nature Communications by Vio Coulon and Ann Kristin Klose, showing that the fate of the Antarctic ice sheet, will play a decisive role in future sea level rise. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

From short-term uncertainties to long-term certainties in the future evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet - Nature Communications

Even if net-zero emissions are reached well before 2100, West Antarctic ice-sheet retreat could still drive multi-meter sea-level rise by 2300. Emission reductions in the coming years are critical to ...

A climate deal without explicit language calling for a fossil fuel phaseout is like a ceasefire without explicit language calling for a suspension of hostilities. #COP30

New paper alert ! 🙂 Happy to share our new study published in The Cryosphere ! doi.org/10.5194/tc-1... We modelled the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet from the LGM (24 ka) to the present and learned a lot on its former history and dynamics ! @jeremyely.bsky.social @chrisdclark.bsky.social

The increasing participation of fossil-fuel lobbyists in recent COP meetings is concerning. Climate solutions should be shaped by those committed to real progress, not by those invested in slowing it down.

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says

The new UNEP report is out with the latest estimates of 2100 warming outcomes under current policies, NDCs, and net-zero targets. Here is how it compares to both the IPCC scenarios and other estimates (CAT and IEA, who will release their own updates soon!).

Canicules, sécheresses et incendies. Après cet été brûlant, la climatologue Valérie Masson-Delmotte déplore que le gouvernement se cantonne à de la gestion de crise. « On n’a aucun cap au-delà de 2030 », résume-t-elle. Lire l'article ➡️ https://l.reporterre.net/xWS

I'm not sure many folks realize just how persistent the warming from CO2 is. Here is a set of 1000-year climate model runs (using FaIR) simulating one year of CO2 emissions (40 gigatons in 2020); a millennia later the world has not cooled back down!

Unbelievable experience with the journal Palaeo3. Our manuscript was rejected because… they couldn’t find a second reviewer, and it had been in their system “too long” (7 weeks), according to the editor. In other words, just to preserve their review-speed metrics, they rejected our submission.
