Kyushu U today to give a talk at the Center for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (COAR), RIAM. Very happily my visit coincides with peak Sakura! Here’s my gracious host Prof Toshi Takemura showing all the beauty.
This year's Global Tipping Points (global-tipping-points.org) conference will be from 12–15th October in Kuala Lumpur, hosted by #SunwayUniversity. Abstract submission and workshop proposal are available via www.sunwayplanetaryhealth.com.my/events/gtp-2...
This is such a clear visualization of where we are now. From a recent Copernicus report

Paper alert! V pleased to announce my latest paper "The relative role of direct orbital forcing versus CO2 & ice feedbacks on Quaternary climate", in Nature Communications - doi.org/10.1038/s414..., with @natalieslord.bsky.social, @climatesamwell.bsky.social, @thefosterlab.bsky.social + many others!
A nice trip to MRI in Tsukuba to attend Stephanie Fiedler’s seminar (and to talk with Stephanie and her host Naga Oshima)
Aerosols are very small, have a high surface to volume ratio and can readily reach super saturation. This combination makes them a unique environment for chemical reactions. We had a paper published in JACS that looked into the rate of chemical reactions within and on aerosols.
A nice write up from the Meta blog - www.meta.com/apac/innovat... - on Dr Matsuoka's work using a fine-tuned Llama
👏 Heroic effort to extract a H₂ record from ice cores 👏
The samples had to measured in the field immediately after drilling (i.e. fresh out the oven 🥮) to prevent the tiny H₂ molecules from leaking out.

Happy to be at #CMIP26 with my Bristol colleagues. Always amazing to come to the Kokukaisaikan in Kyoto.
Global Tipping Points Conference 2026, 12–15 October in Kuala Lumpur—science, finance, culture and policy for positive tipping points, hosted by Sunway Centre for Planetary Health.
Analysis of the atmospheric H2 variability over the past millennium suggests that the sensitivity of H2 to climate change should be considered in estimates of the radiative consequences of rising...
