NEW: I wrote about British churches installing heat pumps, in some cases in 1,000-year-old buildings! Decarbonisation may not be easy, but many view it as an act of faith.

"Despite the difficulties getting everyone to agree on how to tackle climate change, real-world solutions are being implemented at speed almost everywhere."
Love this #COP30 takeaway from
@georginarannard.bsky.social. Just because countries aren't acting at scale doesn't mean the rest of us can't!
What’s the German word for the opposite of a dunkelflaute?!

🚨Out today, acidification of the California Current🚨
Using corals and models we show regionally amplified acidification, due to the combo of CO2 uptake and remineralisation. This highlights potential risks to productive upwelling zones in an acidifying ocean 🌊🧪⚒️📈

new paper led by Andressa Nauter-Alves assessing controls on trace elements (Mg, Sr, B, Li /Ca) in multiple species of benthic foraminifera using a large compilation of coretop samples (>1500 sites).

Was a real pleasure speaking to @elisecutts.bsky.social for Science on the beautiful new CO2 results over the MPT from Beyond EPICA presented by Florian Krauss at EGU.
(And also nice to see them line up nicely with our CO2 reconstruction from boron!)
@mudwaterclimate.bsky.social is a professor in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social. His research focuses on geochemical measurements to reconstruct past changes in climate to understand their causes so we can better predict changes in the future.
Final call for our opening in @earthscista.bsky.social - chair in Earth Sciences, closes Monday.
Fancy escaping to a great University in a lovely wee country? Need a wee weekend project?! Then get your applications in!

We compile ∼1,500 core-top benthic foraminiferal Mg-Sr-B-Li/Ca measurements from five species and one genus to produce new calibrations Many benthic foraminiferal elemental systems require multiv...
