One of our favourite moments from yesterday 🙌
Jun Ying & @matcollins.bsky.social visited our AAS booth at #MEC2026, sharing their June 2025 cover paper on Pacific SST warming in CMIP6 models.
Matthew gave a talk too!

a graphic describing an achievement - exeter colours (greens) are the background, and text reads "ranked 28th globally for earth & marine science". In smaller text reads "QS world university rankings, earth and marine sciences, in the top 30, 2026"
background is exeter colours. text reads "recognising the global influence of our research and teaching, rooted in cornwall's unique coastal landscape"
exeter colours as the background. text is a quote from prof brendan godley, director of the graduate school of environment and sustainability: "delighted to see exeter work in earth and marine science so highly regarded. Its never been more important - there is no planet B"
exeter colours, and the exeter logo is large and central. text reads "we are future positive"
We're ranked 28th globally for Earth & Marine Science in the 2026 QS subject rankings! 🏆

Major threats to our well being from climate change can be avoided, or hugely reduced, by rapid action.
Our Nature comment calls for a global risk assessment, effectively communicated to governments, the media and the public, to make clear what is at stake.
