The awesome Josie Clarke, PhD student of Copenhagen University working in our #PRECISE project on using observations to bias correct modelled accumulation rates over the #Greenland ice sheet , really cool application of #MachineLearning now we finally have enough data to make a stab at it #DGrIS25

My 30 Day Map challenge didn't really survive beyond the first week - too much overwhelm in the day job, but that's ok, I hadn't really expected it to. But the first half of this week is the culmination of #AcWriMo's efforts to pay myself first - the #PRECISE writing week (3 days actually) intended to finalise some papers.

TFW I've been struggling on progress on a paper for about 9 years*. Chat with #PRECISE collaborators yesterday revived interest in problem + this am on way to Saturday activities with kids I had a blinding insight into how to progress. It's exciting + potentially quite important implications for ice sheet projections.
Now need to try + not get frustrated I won't be able to try ideas for at least 2 days + likely more than a week given my calendar.

*yes really 9 years. It's a slow burner.

#Actuaries have issued a call for more #precise #climate #risk #assessments, highlighting the concept of the “risk of ruin,” which refers to a critical juncture beyond which global society might be unable to adapt to the ramifications of climate change.

A collaboration between the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries ( #IFoA ) and the University of Exeter has resulted in a report titled
“Climate Scorpion: the sting is in the tail,” which makes a case for employing risk management strategies traditionally used in financial services to evaluate and convey the risks associated with climate change.

The report advocates for the consideration of “worst-case” scenarios regarding climate change. It also issued a warning that the pace of global warming could be #accelerating, with the likelihood it could surpass the 1.5°C target becoming increasingly plausible.
This could lead to several tipping points, including the #collapse of the #Greenland #ice #sheets, which could have long-lasting consequences.
Unexpected sensitivity to climate change is also a concern, as what is often described as a “#tail-#risk” might have a higher probability of resulting in significant temperature increases.
Methodologies are also now suggesting that a doubling of #greenhouse #gas concentrations could lead to #temperature rises of 7°C or more.
