Websites hosting major US climate reports taken down

Websites that displayed legally mandated U.S. national climate assessments seem to have disappeared, making it harder for state and local governments and the public to learn what to expect in their backyards from a warming world.

Scientists said the peer-reviewed authoritative reports save money and lives.

🌐❄️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲!

We’re excited to launch the updated version of 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹.𝗱𝗸 – your gateway to 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗲𝗮 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁.

📊 On 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹.𝗱𝗸, Danish research institutions share up-to-date monitoring and expert knowledge on the state of the Arctic cryosphere.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮, 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻:
• Surface conditions on the Greenland Ice Sheet and its major outlet glaciers
• Total mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its contribution to global sea-level
• Sea ice extent, thickness and volume in the Arctic
• Temperature anomalies of sea ice and the open sea in the Arctic
• Icebergs around Greenland

The portal is powered by the Danish research institutions #DMI, #GEUS, #DTUSpace and #DTUByg and supported by data from #Asiaq - Misissueqqarnerit - Grønlands Forundersøgelser and #PROMICE (promice.org/).

Scientists just found a way to break through #ClimateApathy

In a field of muddy results, it's among the clearest findings that one cognitive scientist has seen in his career.

Excerpt: "Liu worked with professors at Princeton to test how people responded to two different graphs. One showed winter temperatures of a fictional town gradually rising over time, while the other presented the same warming trend in a black-or-white manner: The lake either froze in any given year, or it didn’t. People who saw the second chart perceived #ClimateChange as causing more abrupt changes.

"Both charts represent the same amount of winter warming, just presented differently. 'We are not hoodwinking people,' said Rachit Dubey, a co-author of the study who’s now a professor of communications at the University of California, Los Angeles. 'We are literally showing them the same trend, just in different formats.' "

🌿🌧️ Predicting the extent of invasive Buffelgrass is important for its management. Travis Matlock, a runner-up in the @uazlibraries 2024 #DataVisualization Challenge, in collaboration with the USA NPN, created an informative map that tracks rainfall "events" over a 30-day period to forecast buffelgrass green-up 1–2 weeks in advance. Check out the map here: doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2570

Looking for a job. My dream job is in quantitative research. I am specialised in climate data and building science, especially mould and condensation simulation. If I can’t find a job in this area, I can also design (architecture, graphic, web and software) and teach (architecture, CAD, design). I am also open to leaving my area of expertise for another field of research as I have a lot applicable skills. I am looking for work in Sydney, Canberra (woo!) or Launceston. Will consider Melbourne if it comes up. Boost me for eyeballs 👀 ❤️ #fediHire #JobSearch #climateData #climate #getfedihired

...so a paper covering a lot of work I did in Norway is out:

dx.doi.org/10.1002/gdj3.70001

It is an interesting one - done after my contract ended, I was surprised to be included.

"But you got a free paper!"

uh uh. Nope. I'm second author on all my own work.

...which acknowledges my technical work, and also removes acknowledgement of my strategic research thinking.

Anyway, I'm happy it is out now.

Thanks to DataCite’s Global Access Fund 2024, the DataMap/Amazon initiative is transforming climate research by centralizing, curating & improving access to Amazonian atmospheric data from key projects. This initiative enhances data sharing, discoverability, and collaboration across Brazil & Latin America, supporting vital climate research through the use of DOIs.

500-year-old Transylvanian diaries show how the Little Ice Age completely changed life and death in the region

Version 2.0.0 of the {ecmwfr} R package providing native R access to the Copernicus ECMWF Data Store products is out. The package now uses the latest `beta` API, which is set to replace the current one, mid September.

Please update your code to guarantee continued functionality. Please read the release note (blog post) carefully as there are some breaking changes to the API and more importantly to the data formats.
