If you haven't seen it yet, our international Conference on Connections between Biodiversity, Climate, and Human Behaviour is taking shape: cbc-conference.org Abstract deadline next Friday, 14 April. Great keynote speakers and nice side-events, please check out the programme or get in touch!
What drives Western European heatwaves, and why are they intensifying? 🌍🔥
A new study shows a single atmospheric circulation pattern explains most events, and a large share of warming.

Shifts in the atmosphere’s circulation patterns are reshaping the Southern Hemisphere’s climate. 🌏
@jumindlin.bsky.social & @marleneclimate.bsky.social (@unileipzig.bsky.social, @meteoleipzig.bsky.social) contributed to a study on the drivers of these changes.

EGU-FOMO? Here's a little thread with contributions from my group:
Can we predict euro weather regimes on S2S timescales with machine learning?
When including spatiotemporal information of stratospheric winds and tropical olr, our model shows competitive skill 👇
According to recent @wcrpclimate.bsky.social research, some regional shifts—like amplified Arctic warming—match predictions. However, climate model ensembles do not well simulate others, such as tropical sea surface temperatures and monsoon rainfall. Why?
We discuss 4 challenges, posing a high risk-high gain situation for ECRs: 1) working with impact scientists, 2) analysing big climate data, 3) applying machine learning, 4) engaging with stakeholders
Hope you enjoy reading it 👩💻🧑💻
Late to the party, but I also want to promote this new paper which will hopefully spark discussions in the conmunity: "A shifiting climate: New paradigms and challenges for (early career) scientists in extreme weather research"
