🗞 Carbon Brief’s sixth edition of the interactive map of extreme weather attribution is out! 👇
https://bit.ly/491PrVu

It compiles over 600 studies, offering an overview of how climate change affects extreme weather.

Likelihood/severity of extr. events:
📈 74% of cases
📉 9% of cases, mostly cold extremes

Although research disproportionately focuses on the global North due to funding inequalities, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe worldwide.

🌍 Planet earth is in critical condition, warns Johan Rockström in Time

Global planetary health is approaching the high-risk line.

But solutions are within reach: "satellites, super-computing capacity for data storage & analytics, AI", he says.

With the upcoming COP16 on biodiversity, we stand at a pivotal moment for ecosystem preservation, one of the key planetary indicators.

🌊 We are back to the seas!

For the second expedition of the FAR-DWO project, Laia Romero will join colleagues from Unidad Tecnología Marina (UTM, CSIC), Facultat de Ciències de la Terra UB and Ifremer.

The crew set sail this morning from Reykjavik, heading to the Denmark Strait Overflow to recover moorings: multi-instrument sampling units deployed last year to monitor hydrographic properties over the long term.

Stay tuned for more updates from this exciting mission!

Since 2008, National Geographic's Pristine Seas has supported the establishment of 27 Marine Protected Areas in the world, covering a total area of 6.6 million km2.

We are proud to contribute robust scientific data to support these protection efforts.

To predict future habitats, we used CMIP6 model projections & ran our habitat suitability model again with future oceanic conditions.
We identified the overlapping areas between current & future suitable areas and delivered information on the region most critical to protect

A preliminary MPA was proposed in 2022.

Recognising the impact of climate change on oceanic conditions, Pristine Seas reached out to
@lobeliaearth’s expertise to better understand whether the MPA’s location aligns with future biodiversity hotspots.

The marine area in the Frente Chubut corridor is a major biodiversity hotspot.
However, increasing human activity and fishing pressure are threatening its ecological balance.
This Pristine Seas documentary describes the context with stunning images:

This connection was at the core of one exciting project with National Geographic’s Pristine Seas where we provided scientific data to support the extension of a Marine Protected Area “Frente Valdés” in Argentina. Plankton was used as a marker for a rich marine environment along with ocean properties and climate projections to identify current and future Magellanic penguin habitat.

Monday was the first day of the London Climate Action Week #LCAW2024

Late in the afternoon @lobeliaearth did not miss the opportunity to attend the Ocean-Climate Nexus event organised by Amal K. (Nui)

There was a very interesting lineup of speakers talking about Climate & Ocean, and the opening by Antoinette Vermilye (Gallifrey Foundation) was inspiring:

For #BiodiversityDay, we want to show you Lobelia’s work mapping suitable habitats based on hashtag#EO to identify biodiversity-rich areas and guide conservation efforts where they are most needed.

Check out the habitat suitability map for Lobelia tupa below.

By combining occurrence data from the GBIF: The Global Biodiversity Information Facility with bioclimatic information from #Worldclim, we model the probabilities of the species finding suitable conditions in different areas.

Visualising & quantifying exposure to severe weather events lowers risk for communities, investors, and businesses, and can catalyse the development of effective adaptation strategies.

Lobelia Climate shows future climate risks for a global portfolio of individual assets across the 🌍, assessing a combination of hazards including extreme temperature, extreme wind, drought, wildfires, flooding, or severe storm events.

From global trends to local climate risk assessments: effective adaptation strategies benefit from precise climate data at a regional scale.

Geographic features like mountains and coastal areas impact local weather including droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures.

Our approach involves merging regional models (CORDEX) with in situ data to achieve a refined resolution of 20 km.
