📣 Just out!

@FAO.org has released the most detailed report ever on the state of marine fish stocks!

The data shows that some of the world’s fisheries are recovering thanks to effective, science-based management.

My co-chair François Houllier and I are delighted with this resounding success, after 2 years of preparation and many hurdles to overcome.

The recommendations will be presented to Heads of State and Governments tomorrow, the day before #UNOC starts.

My colleagues at NOAA fear for their jobs.

Their satellite observation today of accumulating heat stress (already above mortality thresholds) on the northern Great Barrier Reef: Yet again a deadly mass coral bleaching event is underway.

Without NOAA, climate & reef scientists will be blind.

Norway nears 100 per cent goal of all-electric cars
Almost 96 per cent of new cars registered in Norway in January were electric, an unparalled number in the world and close to the country’s goal of selling only zero-emission vehicles as of this year.

Warming and cooling catalyse widespread temporal turnover in #biodiversity

Ecological communities change constantly as some species come while others go - this turnover is accelerated by rapid temperature change, communities becoming more dissimilar over time.

Postdoc publications and citations link to academic retention and faculty success
Duan+
doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

60% of postdocs leave academia

p(postdoc -> academia) increases with:

publishing more
highly cited papers
location of postdoc training
changing research from PhD, but not too much
Factors influencing the success of early career scientists. Panel (A) shows the average values of our success metric η for the same categories as Fig. 1B (those in these categories that stayed in academia after their postdocs). Panel (B) displays η as a function of the topical difference between the publications as a doctoral student and a postdoc measured by the Jensen–Shannon divergence (JSD) of the annotated disciplines of the publications. The smooth line is a fitted fourth-order polynomial. The vertical lines show the (equal sample number) bins (except for the zero divergence observations). For reference, in our case (with 19 topical categories), changing from publishing on only one topic to publishing on only another gives a JSD of 0.83. Panel (C) shows the average η value for physical mobility—whether the Ph.D. moved to another country, another university in the same country, or stayed at the same university. Finally, panel (D) shows a similar plot for different classes of postdoctoral trajectories—whether the move to or from a top-10 university or research institution, or stays in the top-10 versus other categories, and how these moves depend on the region of the Ph.D. granting institution—Europe, The United States, and Canada, the rest of the world.

Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries

doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Overall, trust in scientists is moderately high
&
people think scientists should engage with society and policy, but minority disagrees with policy engagement
Normative perceptions of scientists in society and policymaking using weighted response probabilities. people tend to agree that scientists should engage in society and policymaking (grand mean, 3.64; s.d., 0.87; 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). In the countries surveyed, a large majority (83%) agree that scientists should communicate about science with the public, particularly in African countries. Overall, only a minority disagree that scientists should actively advocate for specific policies (23%), communicate their findings to politicians (19%) and be more involved in the policymaking process (21%).

While this isn’t good news, it is not a tipping point, nor does it presage a dramatic increase in climate feedbacks.

I have a new paper in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes under current policies. I find that we are likely headed toward 2.7C by 2100 (with uncertainties from 1.9C to 3.7C), and that high end emissions scenarios have become much less likely.
