Europe’s #heatwaves are not only getting hotter — they’re becoming more chaotic.
A new #NatureCommunications study by Goratz Beobide-Arsuaga (ESRAH, Univ. Hamburg) shows how soil moisture fuels extremes in Central and Northern Europe.

I am happy and proud to present our #platformist team effort out in @nature.com!

We examine if, when, and why #Antarctic #ice shelves will no longer be viable, at the latest, due to changes in #atmosphere and #ocean conditions.
A little 🧵 for the experts...

Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves - Nature
The viability of Antarctic ice shelves under low rates and high rates of global warming is modelled to estimate when it will become unfeasible for the ice shelves to maintain their present-day shape.

Not really surprising or? The failure to get this important connection in place in time tells a lot. That the connection must be biuild is clear since 2009, but 20 years are obviously not enough. Major consequence: If the danish side is finished people will use car/bus. www.ndr.de/nachrichten/...

When you live in a country in which you do not speak the language and wonder whether the public broadcaster is a bit disrespectful towards their princess (automatic translations lead to some strange wordings and “krudtugle” has obviously many meanings in danish)

Storm #Éowyn tomorrow in Ireland looks really ugly. There are reasons, why public transport, a lot of schools and probably most of public life will shut down. And before somebody looks on old maps, also Northern Ireland is now under red warning. www.met.ie/warnings-tom...

Has the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) weakened over the last decades? In our new study, we combine state-of-the-art CMIP6 models and observation-based estimates of the air-sea heat flux in the North Atlantic to show that the AMOC has not declined since the 1960s! 🌊

From the experience in the last years currently only about a third of abstracts at #egu25 are submitted up to now. So submitting the remaining 10.000 might become a hell of a ride in the last couple of days.

🧠 Three in four teens face mental health struggles 🌏

A @thelancet.bsky.social study finds ~75% of Australian adolescents experience significant depression or anxiety, with many enduring chronic symptoms.

When will we address this?

Tracking the course of depressive and anxiety symptoms across adolescence (the CATS study): a population-based cohort study in Australia
In this contemporary multi-wave cohort study, almost three-quarters of adolescents reported CMD symptoms. The likelihood of chronicity of CMD symptoms (ie, recurrence) was high. Universal responses are urgently required to address this considerable public health problem.

With the dark season in Copenhagen, just jumping into a couple of trains leads to some form of time travel. The length of daylight wraps back (or forward?) for about a month for me. Still grey though.

Sometimes you get reviews back, know that they are valid, but you feel still disappointed about its conclusions. But in the end, you have to give even crazy ideas a try. Better outcomes will come, hopefully the next time (but likely not with this idea).

A new paper led by Sebastian Sippel just appeared in Nature arguing that ocean temperature measurements in the early 20th century have a cold bias.

It's a fun story illustrating the process of scientific discovery, so let me talk about it a bit. 🧵

Uh, a round number. But honestly, as it is gs, many of them do anyway not count (but anyway thanks) and there are reasons why we repeat again and again that citations are not as important as some try to make them. Anyway, we all love a round number, don't we. 🎉
