In this new Science for the Planet video, Columbia Climate School Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory tree-ring scientist Nicole Davi explains the critical role maritime forests play in protecting our coastal communities from storms, and how tree-ring records help us understand how these ecosystems are responding to climate change. 🌍 Science for the Planet is our short explainer series about how Columbia Climate School scientists and scholars are trying to understand the effects of climate change and help solve the crisis.

Climate Science Olympiad 2024: Made it through the Qualifier round 🎉 "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make" ClimateScience, Grateful for such a competition to help understand better about climate science and realize the difference one wants to make.

Weaker Ocean Currents Lead to Decline in Nutrients for North Atlantic Ocean Life During Prehistoric Climate Change, Research Shows - Georgia Tech College of Sciences: Georgia Tech researchers have finished investigating how the prehistoric weakening of a major ocean current led to a decline in ocean nutrients and negative impacts on North Atlantic ocean life. The results support predictions about how our oceans might react to a changing climate — and what that means for ocean life. https://lnkd.in/eXcbCNNi

Did you know that climate issues were raised as a topic of concern in 19th century, and started with a woman whose pictures are nowhere to be found? Alice Bell, author of "Our Biggest Experiment: An Epic History of the Climate Crisis," gave a fascinating talk on climate history at the Climatebase Fellowship course. If you're interested in learning more about this important topic, check out her book here: https://lnkd.in/e3UV45se. #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatedebate

https://lnkd.in/gv68tDJs A critical analysis of the Greenhouse Effect concept, which is at the heart of present climate projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The video lays out the evidence and provides discussions that you have likely not seen before. You will learn about an emerging physical Paradigm in climate science that resolves numerous problems of the radiative “Greenhouse" theory and offers a whole new perspective on climate change and the societal response to it... A great effort has been made to ensure a graphically rich content that is understandable to both laymen and experts in the field of climatology.

Taking advantage of the EU Polar Science Week 2024, #ESA decided to involve schools in the area of Copenhagen in activities related to #EarthObservation, and the Polar Science.❄️ With these specific educational initiatives, ESA aims to promote awareness, knowledge, and understanding of the great significance of polar research in finding solutions to #climate challenges in the Polar regions in particular, and ultimately for all of us on planet #Earth.🌍 The young generation will need to take action and be able to be informed in order to make the best decisions in the future and be able to contribute further to climate research. 📆 Check out the detailed programme 👉https://lnkd.in/eRteY5ZP European Commission

Understanding Climate Mobilities: New study examines perspectives from South Florida practitioners - University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science: Astudy led by researchers at the University of Miami ROSENSTIEL School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, assessed the perspectives of 76 diverse South Florida climate adaptation professionals. The study titled, "Practitioner perspectives on climate mobilities in South Florida" was published in the December issue of the Journal Oxford Open Climate Change, and explores the expectations and concerns of practitioners from the private sector, community-based organizations, and government agencies about the region's ability to adapt in the face of increasing sea level rise and diverse consequences for where people live and move, also known as climate mobility. https://lnkd.in/gSKEfCF3

Soil spectroscopy is a newer but fast-growing technique employed by scientists studying soil composition.  The principles of soil spectroscopy are based in nuclear physics. Elements in the soil react in unique ways to the energy from the electromagnetic spectrum, reflecting some wavelengths and absorbing others. The reflected wavelengths give scientists clues to which minerals and elements are present and in what quantities.

⚠️ The term "tipping points" in climate science is used frequently, but often with vague or inconsistent definitions. Learn how these definitions impact science and public understanding in our webinar. 👇 Join experts Vasilis Dakos (University of Montpellier), Sebastian Bathiany (Technical University of Munich), Bob Kopp (Rutgers University) and Elisabeth Krueger (University of Amsterdam) for a webinar to explore whether a unified, precise definition of #TippingPoints is necessary and what it should look like. 📅 11 October, 14:00-15:30 CEST ➡ Register: https://bit.ly/3zmHLzt #SafeAndJust #GlobalCommons #FreeWebinar #ClimateScience
