A short 🧵 to explain why "it hasn't warmed in 8 years" is consistent with humans driving large warming over the century. To begin, let's consider the monthly satellite temperature record:

How many unsolved problems are there in ecology? How do we know when a problem is solved? Here’s a perfect book for a reading group - chapters focused on thorny problems grouped into 7 parts. I see the chapters as a springboard for discussion and debate.

To translate data into action, we need data synthesis, uncertainty estimation & trend detection. This session will cover advances in #biodiversity modeling, challenges & new opportunities in artificial intelligence #AI. Submit abstracts 👉 bit.ly/nH4sjl #GEOBONconf2023

The eventual end article for a special issue on climate change adaptation in Evolution Letters When and how can we predict adaptive responses to climate change? Our conclusion: difficult, but not impossible! academic.oup.com/evlett/article…

Urbanization & climate change are reshaping ecosystems' adaptive capacity, by altering eco-evolutionary dynamics. UrbanEcoEvoNet's new paper nature.com/articles/s4155… led by Mark C. Urban proposes a framework to understand their joint effects & calls for integrated strategies to protect

Study led Mark C. Urban with Luc De Meester IGB Berlin (now on Bluesky) in Nature Climate Change shows how interactions between #ClimateChange and #urbanisation affect #biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics and how this knowledge can inform urban planning 👉 igb-berlin.de/en/news/better…

Excited to share our NSF NRT project publication! Over 2+ years of cross-disciplinary collaboration taught us so much and gave us a unique opportunity to grow. Huge thanks to Mark C. Urban and my advisor Anji Seth and Guiling Wang for their support throughout this journey. #PhDLife
