Very honored to receive the Theodor Kocher Prize of @unibern . Many thanks to my fantastic research team and the Climate and Environmental Physics Division (including Thomas Stocker, Fortunat Joos and Christoph Raible) for the tremendous and continuous support. #diesacademicus19

More than 230 experts from over 70 countries are in Kuala Lumpur this week for the #IPCC Scoping Meeting to draft the outlines of the three Working Group contributions to the IPCC's seventh report assessing the science related to #climatechange.

The ocean is in a way the final victim of multiple planetary crises - nutrient pollution, excess heat, rising CO₂. This has to be turned around. The ocean will ultimately determine whether we secure a livable future for humanity. weforum.org/videos/earth-p…

RESEARCH: Long-term impacts of global temperature stabilization and overshoot on exploited marine species. Co-authored by Dr. William Cheung @coru_ubc @SolvingFCB bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/11… via @EGU_BioGeo

Wetter- und Klimaextreme wie Dürren und #Überschwemmungen in #Europa hängen mit Verschiebungen des Jetstreams über dem Atlantik zusammen. Das zeigt eine Rekonstruktion des #Jetstreams für die letzten 600 Jahre durch Forschende der #unibern: sohub.io/iimv.

The Federal Council has agreed that Switzerland should sign the @UN’s Agreement on Marine Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, which aims to protect marine life. Now the Swiss Parliament must decide. Press release in DE/FR/IT: admin.ch/gov/de/start/d… @UVEK #BBNJ

Absolutely stunning!

🚨Paper alert: The adaptive emission reduction approach was used to simulate 1.5°C & 2°C temperature stabilization. Key findings: remaining carbon budgets 60% larger than in IPCC AR6, budgets evolve over time, positive emissions under stabilized warming esd.copernicus.org/articles/15/15…

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) don’t just harm ecosystems—they also alter the ocean’s carbon cycle! Our new analysis of 30 global datasets shows ocean CO₂ uptake drops by 8% during MHWs, with regional anomalies reaching up to 30%. doi.org/10.1029/2024GL…

🎉 Congratulations to the Marine Heatwaves in the Global Ocean Research Focus Group on their recent publication! Dive into the full paper here: doi.org/10.1038/s43247… #CLIVAR #MarineHeatwaves #Climatechange

How do we define marine heatwaves? What are the different types, and how do they evolve? What are the impacts and what's in store for the future? Read our new article @CommsEarth A global overview of marine heatwaves: nature.com/articles/s4324…

📣 The @VendeeGlobeENG started yesterday, and so the #data collection continues thanks to @OliverHeerOHOR ! We wish Ollie a safe journey around the🌍 & invite you to follow the Environmental Physics (UP) Group for regular updates on the science campaign👇 linkedin.com/company/up-gro…

Warum erwärmt sich das #Meer? 🌊🌡️ Und warum ist das ein Problem? @froeltho #unibern gibt Antworten auf diese Fragen im @tagesanzeiger: sohub.io/y2f4. #Klima #Kipppunkte #Amoc
