Rethinking the carbon cost of scientific exchange: Nonlinear effects of reducing scientific mobility

The carbon footprint of scientific collaboration has become an increasingly debated topic. Conferences, workshops, and research travel remain central to how science function, yet they also contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions. Since the pandemic era scientists also learned to work virtually and to attend workshops and conferences online. Understanding the carbon footprint, and how it comp ...[Read More]

The North Sea Is Heating Up: What Marine Heatwaves Tell Us About Climate Change?

As scientists, we are acutely aware that our planet’s climate is changing, but the speed and severity of these changes can still surprise us. As global temperatures rise, certain regions become hotspots experiencing more intense and amplified warming. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liège, I have been closely studying amplified warming and marine heatwaves in the North Sea under ...[Read More]

What does a geodesist look like? And what happens if you don’t “look the part”? Today, Franck Ghomsi, a Black African scientist, takes us along on his journey between South Africa, Canada and Cameroon. Franck does not only research the impact of climate change on coasts with geodetic techniques, but at the same time became an expert in self-motivation, battling racism and fightin ...[Read More]

The spectral shadow of Samalas: When climate models conjure the Earth’s forgotten fury

This Halloween, we turn our gaze from fictional haunts to the chilling, rigorous world of paleoclimatology. The paper by Hartmann et al. (2025), published on Climate of the Past, focuses on the implementation of external forcings in a regional climate model around the 1257 CE Samalas volcanic eruption. This paper can be quite the unsettling investigation, since it treats the Earth itself as a time ...[Read More]
