In 1985, it took 69 days for the typical U.S. river to transport 90% of its annual sediment load. By 2023, it took only 50 days. New research by @husician.bsky.social at @virginiatech.bsky.social. 🧪 eos.org/articles/u-s...

U.S. River Sediment Transport Is Becoming “Burstier” - Eos

The time frame in which U.S. rivers move most of their sediment has compressed significantly, which could have implications for water treatment, aquatic habitats, erosion, and harmful algal blooms.

2/3 ▪️Enshrine into law the reference global warming trajectory; ensuring Europe will be ready for a 3°C rise in global temperatures by 2100. ▪️Ask member states to assess climate risks and provide a clear picture of who is in charge of managing them.

The world has a stubborn tendency to rebound... Yes, there are mechanisms for a structural change post-Hormuz, but we said that after the Global Financial Crisis and after COVID. And yet, we still have record emissions of coal, oil, and gas!

Auch das ist ein Folge der überhasteten Einführung des neuen „Tankrabatts“: Um ihn kurzfristig (also ohne 1. und 2. Lesung, Ausschussbefassung und Anhörung) umsetzen zu können, wird er als Änderungsantrag an ein völlig sachfremdes Versicherungs-Gesetz gehängt, das am Freitag beschlossen wird.

Alisa Krasnova from University of Tartu presents 5 years of GHG flux data from a drained peatland forest in Estonia. The forest was a net sink until 2024, but became a source in 2025 after long periods of rain and flooding. Shows drained peatlands are vulnerable to climate variations. #ICOS2026SC

"The United States has doubled down on its opposition to plastic production limits in global treaty talks, pushing to create a broad loophole to disregard the treaty on national security grounds." National security grounds??

Leaked memo shows how U.S. aims to weaken global limits on plastic pollution

A memo reviewed by The Washington Post, circulated by U.S. diplomats, comes as negotiations over a plastics treaty reach a critical point.

Rate of change is so critical to Earth system (and social system) tipping points. This is why every action to mitigate warming helps.

Prof Ian Hall@ianhall.bsky.social · 3mo ago

A striking climate-model result suggests AMOC may have a rate-induced tipping point. 👉 Slow CO₂ increase: AMOC stable to +5.5°C 👉 Faster increase: collapse around +2°C Same climate system. Very different outcome. The rate of warming matters. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🦄 Unicorns don’t cut emissions. Carbon capture has had decades and billions to prove itself. Its poor results should set off alarm bells for us all. We already have cheaper, proven solutions to slash emissions now, even for “hard-to-abate” sectors. Stop chasing unicorns. Start scaling what works.

..Windkraftwerke, Solar, Batteriespeicher, Smart-Grids, Elektromobilität gekoppelt mit AI-gesteuerten Recycling-werken. Das sind Strategien mit denen Deutschland wirtschaftlich aufstehen kann - nicht, in dem wir einfach versuchen wieder zurück in die gute alte Zeit zu rennen. Es gibt einen klaren..

Kaum ist das Land kurz abgekühlt, beschließt das Kabinett die Plünderung des Klimafonds KTF. Statt klimaschädliche Subventionen abzubauen, kürzt Klingbeil nun jährlich 2,7 Mrd. Euro bei Klimaschutz und Klimaanpassung. Das ist fahrlässig – und unterlassene Hilfeleistung mit Ansage.

✨Editor's Pick✨ A new study finds that popular soil biogeochemistry models inadequately represent regionally-important processes and lack transferability, resulting in poor predictions of soil organic carbon stocks in sub-Saharan Africa. 🔗Learn more: eos.org/editor-highl...

I'm looking for a post-doc to work on the interaction between past hydrological changes and vegetation in a disturbed peatland, using paleoecological and modelling approaches. The post-doc duration is 18 months and start date is any time before Jan 2027. DM if you are interested / have questions! 🌿🧪

These are cute drosera plants. They are carnivorous and live in peatlands. The picture shows these red plants that have a rounded shape and sticky tentacles. They are about 3 cm high.
