Our paper on modelling permafrost microtopography in a land-surface model was published today 🎉 Thank you to co-authors @semiupsidedown @eleanorjb and others not on twitter! gmd.copernicus.org/articles/…

Explicitly modelling microtopography in permafrost landscapes in a land surface model (JULES...

Abstract. Microtopography can be a key driver of heterogeneity in the ground thermal and hydrological regime of permafrost landscapes. In turn, this heterogeneity can influence plant communities,...

Have a read if you're interested in how two tiles & a small elevation difference can affect modelled soil temperatures and methane production at low-centred polygon and palsa sites :)

Great talk on how permafrost thaw means an extra half a degree commits future generations to dealing with a whole load more emissions: "Permafrost hasn't signed the Paris agreement".

Excited to be here in Glasgow talking about permafrost, if slightly overwhelmed by my first in person conference in two years being this huge. Doing another similar talk in a minute! Live links on iccinet.org/cop26cryospherep…

I would argue that this is part of what makes net zero targets great! While indeed it costs little to say, every time it is said it gets harder to go back on. Plan or no plan, even on its own the net zero commitment is powerful for 3 reasons: (1/7)

But that's the thing isn't it? It costs nothing for politicians to *say* they'll go for an ambitious target. They don't need to actually meet them (in fact, they're unlikely to be in the job when the deadlines approach)

Thus it is *for once* an example of politicians not worrying about distant things being beneficial: it doesn’t cost much to say, but having been said it doesn’t cost much to employ some people to put together a plan, or some people to scrutinise it…

…and by this stage, theoretically, there is something to point at for each and every decision the government makes afterwards, even the ones made today.

The fate of carbon in tropical peatlands: An exciting, modelling-focused PhD project is open for applications, as part of a new project led by Prof Angela Gallego-Sala (who is a great person to work with :)). Please share. @jkaduk exeter.ac.uk/studying/fundin…

Yeah so this is huge "We aim to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060." Official translation of statement by China's President Xi Jinping to the UN general assembly fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/zxxx_66…

Looking forward to hearing a representative sample of the UK public's deliberations on how to get to net zero.
