This is amazing: The @esaclimate office have produced a beautiful set of easy to access tools for using with their satellite data products.

Some great quick start notebooks and tonnes and tonnes of lovely #EarthSystem climate data.

(Our PISCO project will also be steadily adding stuff to this as well over the next year and a half)

21. #AI4PEX research focus 9: Coupling.

We will couple, tune and evaluate the new #ML-enhanced component models of the land, ocean and atmosphere to #ESMs as more realistic component models are the first step towards improved projections of the future #EarthSystem.

"We will soon see the majority of the Planetary Health Check parameters in the high-risk zone,” Johan Rockström

Earth exceeds safe limits: First Planetary Health Check issues red alert
“When we look at the trends of Earth’s health indicators, we see that soon the majority of them will be in the high-risk zone. We need to reverse this trend. We know that all Planetary Boundary processes act together and each one needs protection to protect the whole system.”

The Global Commons: The Safe and Just Space is shrinking

"The planet will only remain able to provide even a basic standard of living for everyone in the future if economic systems and technologies are dramatically transformed and critical resources are more fairly used, managed and shared."

Earth-system boundaries - reducing harm to people and the planet

"The health of the planet and its people are at risk. The deterioration of the global commons—ie, the natural systems that support life on Earth—is exacerbating energy, food, and water insecurity, and increasing the risk of disease, disaster, displacement, and conflict. In this Commission, we quantify safe and just Earth-system boundaries (ESBs) and assess minimum access to natural resources required for human dignity and to enable escape from poverty. Collectively, these describe a safe and just corridor that is essential to ensuring sustainable and resilient human and planetary health and thriving in the Anthropocene. We then discuss the need for translation of ESBs across scales to inform science-based targets for action by key actors (and the challenges in doing so), and conclude by identifying the system transformations necessary to bring about a safe and just future."

Three particular responses of the #EarthSystem are critically important for our understanding of #ClimateChange, but remain highly uncertain:

(I) The change in #GlobalMeanSurfaceTemperature for a doubling of atmospheric #CO2, which determines the long-term warming of the Earth.
(II) The rate at which excess heat is sequestered into the deep ocean.
(III) The fraction of #carbonemissions that remains in the atmosphere, which is controlled by the efficacy of ocean and terrestrial #CarbonUptake.
