One-third of the global soybean production failure in 2012 is attributable to climate change Communications Earth & Environment - Soybean production losses are impacted by warmer temperatures and by strong heat-moisture interactions, and future warming may exacerbate production...

Global soybean production is highly concentrated—just three countries (USA, Brazil, Argentina) produce ~75% of the world’s supply. In 2012, all three saw harvest failures. Our study finds that about one-third of the loss that year was due to human-induced climate change.

I will continue my journey as a postdoctoral researcher at the IVM, excited for more discoveries, collaborations, and impactful work in the near future🌎🌍

Link to my thesis: doi.org/10.5463/thes...

I also want to extend my gratitude to the VU-IVM and all my colleagues across various research institutes. Thank you for your interest in my work and for all the engaging scientific discussions we've had across the globe.

To the PhD committee: @agroclim.bsky.social, @anabastos.bsky.social,@karinvdwiel.bsky.social,@zscheischlerjak.bsky.social & Peter Verburg: Thank you for inspiring my work, for taking the time to read my thesis, for being in Amsterdam in person for the defence, and for joining the celebration 🥳

A huge thank you to Dim Coumou, @annevanloon.bsky.social, and Jeroen Aerts for your guidance throughout this journey. Working with you has been an absolute pleasure, and I look forward to many more collaborations in the years to come.

Early January, I defended my PhD thesis. After nearly half a decade of researching climate and crops, I'm taking a moment to celebrate a journey filled with learning, discovery, and wonderful scientific collaborations. 1/n

Thanks Anne for the very kind words, and support throughout !
