New research: Being car-dependent is so awful that some people who drive everywhere still support restricting cars in urban areas.

The pre-history of Borneo is poorly known. Archaeological evidence of ancient human presence on all sides make it almost certain that people went through Borneo. Perez-Cardenez et al. (2025) piece together the fragmentary evidence 🌏🧪 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Interested in working on the theory of and concepts behind multiple factor impacts on ecological systems and beyond?
Please send expressions of interest. Starting Jan 2026, I would be awarding up to three postdoctoral fellowships on this topic (12 months; 2,5K €) to drive progress on this topic.

Led by Adam Hanbury-Brown, we found that Sierra Nevada dry conifer forests will become carbon sources and shift to oak-dominated forests under 2.5 °C warming by the late 21st century, regardless of management.

Some consider the lack of weakening of the currents between Atlantic and Nordic Seas an argument against an ongoing #AMOC weakening.
Here we show why the opposite is true: AMOC weakening causes a temporary increase in Nordic Seas overturning. 🌊

New paper just dropped about sticks and carrots in climate policy: “Policy carrots alone do not dramatically reduce future emissions. Only with policy sticks are there unambiguous signals to substantially shrink the size of incumbent fossil fuel industries.”

"Bond’s work leaves behind an inconvenient lesson for an era of climate urgency: that speed is not a substitute for understanding, and that good intentions, applied without care, can erase ancient worlds as efficiently as neglect." A beautiful tribute to William Bond. Forever missed by many.

In recent years, one of the loudest ideas in environmental policy has been that trees are the planet’s universal remedy. Plant enough of them, in enough places, and carbon will be soaked up, water wil...

New research finds that marine environments with offshore wind turbines have higher levels of biodiversity and biomass. Turbines provide surfaces for barnacles, algae, and sea sponges, which can support an ecosystem. Things like this show we can design with nature, rather than against it. 🌎🧪🌐🏡

Agricultural soil carbon sequestration gets a lot of attention but let’s not forget that the best way to keep carbon in soils is to stop further expansion of agriculture into natural ecosystems.
