"The 1.5-degree limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels. Not reduce. Not abate. Phaseout." United Nations Secretary General António Guterres | #COP28

Delighted that four University of Leicester staff are attending #COP28 NERC NCEO’s Professor Heiko Balzter, Cristina Ruiz Villena and Harj Sembhi Space Park Leicester . Tim Neff , Lecturer in Journalism, is covering the #COP28 for an environmental news bureau.

We are choosing our future right now. By 2030 we collectively will have chosen either 'business as usual' which will lead us to a future of destruction and increasing human misery OR the path of exponential decarbonization which can lead us to a clean, healthy, just world.

Lots of movement on methane today at #COP28. One major announcement was the launch of 'Lowering Organic Waste Methane' (LOW-Methane), a new initiative to jumpstart a dramatic scale-up of global action to cut methane emissions from the waste sector.

Today the first sets of winners for the STEM for Britain 4th March 2024, Charles, Gold/First Place, Christina Ruiz Villena – Leicester University , Silver/Second Place, David Bajek – Dundee University, Bronze/Third Place, Sama Al-Shammari – Cardiff University

Cristina Ruiz Villena 👏👏👏🥇

PhD Opportunity! Wetlands produce lots of methane which is a major greenhouse gas. You’ll use 🛰️ satellites and 🤖 machine learning to help us better understand their response to climate change 🌍🌡️

🥇 Congratulations Cristina Ruiz Villena on your Gold Medal winning poster! Cristina was one of five University of Leicester early -years scientists who had the opportunity to present their research in Parliament in the #STEMforBRITAIN scientific poster competition space-park.co.uk/2024/03/five-s…

Study on detecting & validating a major methane leak in the UK, led by NCEO & SENSE PhD student, Emily Dowd from University of Leeds was published today in European Geosciences Union🌍. Showcasing the power of satellite & ground-based surveys in climate action🛰️ tinyurl.com/59daeh9y

Officially started my UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship today! Over the next 4 years we'll be developing a digital twin for tropical wetland methane emissions. 1/🧵

📣 Big announcement! WCRP is proud to announce a fellowship for early and mid-career researchers working in climate science. This year, the fellowships will focus on applicants from Africa. 🔗 loom.ly/krYCcA8 #AcademicTwitter #ClimateScience #ScienceforSociety

Very excited to be at the EO4Africa Symposium in ESRIN!! 🛰️🌍

The #ESA #eo4africa symposium is on its way!! 🌍🛰️. The EO AFRICA R&D Facility is there to strengthen the #EOAFRICA community and to share the progress on collaborative EO-based #research for #Africa Live streaming at: eo-4-africa-symposium-2024.esa.int/watch-live/ EO OPEN SCIENCE

Great work by Zhen Qu showing the importance of tropical #wetlands in driving the recent trend in atmospheric #methane. Particularly timely that this is published while European Space Agency's #EO4Africa is happening with the huge role Africa/Congo plays in this pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Now, Cristina Ruiz Villena from NERC NCEO introduces us to machine learning and digital twins.

Today I did a presentation at the National Space Centre about Ice on Earth, Earth Observation and my research as a climate scientist with Surface Temperature Group Leicester ❄️ If you fancy coming along, I’ll be doing it again at 1.30 pm on Thursday 10th October 🌎🛰️ NERC NCEO Space Park Leicester ESA Climate Office
