How did the mammoth steppe function and what did it mean for carbon storage? 🦣🌍🦠

Another fantastic podcast episode by @sbcornish and the @OxPolar team

Snippet from the episode in which Dr Jeppe Kristensen tells about how plants trade carbon with nutrients in the soil. This is an important way in which carbon enters the ground...

[Sam Cornish @sbcornish]

The ice-age mammoth steppe ecosystem was surprisingly productive. You could sit on top of a hill, and overlook such a density of animals that it has been referred to as a "Serengeti of the North"

It was a joy making this podcast!

Here's our episode on the dual threats Sámi reindeer herding faces from climate change--and, paradoxically--climate solutions

Oula-Antti Labba spent much of his childhood in Finnish Sámiland helping his family with the traditional reindeer herding work. But this traditional livelihood is under dual threat: from climate change and industrialisation of Sámi lands. 1/

Please do take a listen. It's a nuanced and complex story that I've loved working on.

Gary Lineker suspended by the BBC for upsetting the Conservatives because he stood up for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The same BBC whose chairman gave the Conservatives £400,000 before helping to arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson

Hope you enjoy reading! This paper/PhD chapter was the most fun I've had doing science.
With brilliant colleagues Helen Johnson, @RobbieMallett, @doerr_jakob, Yavor Kostov, Alice Richards

Why is it that under a warming climate, winter sea ice growth in the Arctic Ocean first rises and then falls? In this paper we tackle this question--with a focus on the Arctic Ocean's super-productive 'ice factories': the Kara and Laptev seas. 🧵❄️

This is partly why we need insight from simple models like this one that aim to understand the underlying processes. Our approach could be applied to other areas of the Arctic too.
