Watch it live here: https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/845471560 Fika will be served, welcome! Biodiversity loss is affected by the interacting effects of climate and land-use change. Birds and insects in Sweden and Europe has already reacted to changes in temperature during the past decades. These effects may be complex, as they affect not only individual species, but interacting communities, with the potential for ‘surprising’ results. The effects of climate change are also indirect through consequences of climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. Using space-for-time substitution approaches, I demonstrate potential indirect consequences of climate change for birds and insects. Mainstreaming biodiversity in to management of anthropogenic landscapes is a potential way to increase the resilience of ecosystems. I will present and discuss the potential, as well as the weaknesses, of such an approach to future proof landscape in times of global change.

COP 25 - “Hope to reach decision makers” Gustaf Hugelius, associate professor at the Department of Physical Geography, is one of the researchers who participates in the UN Climate Change Conference COP25 in Madrid 2–13 December. Gustaf Hugelius represents the Bolin Centre, which is part of and supports a pavilion that focuses on communicating science about the cryosphere. “We have brought together experts in various parts of the cryosphere to try to convey what positive effects rapid emission reductions would have. We will have open exhibitions on the various subjects and different theme days with presentations that summarize the research situation and present new findings. Apart from helping with the entire organization, I am responsible for a theme day on permafrost on Thursday, December 5th. I hope we can reach decision makers and provide basic knowledge as well as the very latest research on how climate change affects some of the world’s most sensitive systems, such as permafrost, sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets," says Gustaf Hugelius. To enable the public in Stockholm to take part in climate discussions during the Madrid Conference, the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Nordic Council and the Global Challenge (Global Utmaning) are organizing a parallel conference (https://www.norden.org/en/information/nordic-climate-action-stockholm-madrid-and-online) in Norrsken House at Birger Jarlsgatan 57 C in Stockholm. From here, visitors will be able to follow debates in Madrid via video link, and take part in climate debates at Norrsken House.

Deadline to sign up is tomorrow Friday December 6. Link to sign-up (https://www.geo.su.se/mentor) (mentors and mentees) Welcome to the RA8-workshop at Tovetorp February 4-5 2019!We will have two talks by invited speakers and presentations of ongoing research but particularly future plans by members of RA8 with time for feedback and discussion. Here we invite more open-end presentations, rather than result oriented presentations. There will also be discussions (partly in groups) on potential collaborations and synergies between projects and finally an exercise in highlighting the links between climate and biodiversity in time and space based on the ongoing projects within RA8.Sign upBy replying to sara.cousins at natgeo.su.se (mailto:sara.cousins at natgeo.su.se) , by January 8th at the latest. Please also provide a tentative title for your presentation. We also need to know if you have any special food requirements.The work-shop will start and end with coffee at 10.00 on the 4th and 15.00 on the 5th of February. It will be held at the research station Tovetorp, situated approximately 100 km south of Stockholm.Invited speakers Professor Pieter de Frenne (https://www.ugent.be/bw/environment/en/research/fornalab/staff-fornalab/pieter-de-frenne.htm?searchterm=pieter%20AND%20de%20AND%20frenne%2A) Dr Toke Thomas Høye (https://pure.au.dk/portal/en/persons/toke-thomas-hoeye(3dd7f6f7-5f2a-481f-ac0f-e2315af69467).html) Welcome!Sara, Johan and Kalle (research area leaders for RA8) Tiny woodlands are more important than previously thought Small woodlands in farmland have more benefits for humans per area, compared to large forests according to a new study. The small woodlands, sometimes even smaller than a football field, can easily go unnoticed in agricultural landscapes. Yet, these small forest remnants can store more carbon in the topsoil layer, are more suitable for hunting activities and host fewer ticks than large forests.

I am currently looking for a master thesis project to start next year, spring 2020. I am very interested and passionate about land use, vegetation dynamics, water and climate change. I was wondering if any of you have a master thesis project I could participate in? It would have to be a 30 credits thesis, as I only have the spring term of next year to finish my master. As I said I find the connection between water and climate very fascinating. I also participated as an assistant in the World Water Week in August of this year here in Stockholm, and it increased furthermore my passion for all the research and efforts that are going on worldwide to mitigate the climate crisis. The courses I’ve taken are: -Social-Ecological Systems: Challenges and Approaches -Problem Solving in Environmental Science -Global Climate System -Polar and Alpine Environments and Climate Change -Climate Change Throughout Earth's History If you prefer and if you have a project available even in other topics (I´m open to all suggestions), we could schedule a meeting to see if I am a suitable candidate for the project. Thank you so much for your help, I look forward to hear back from you. Best regards, Cristina -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This EU funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) will fund 15 PhD students across Europe. They will develop maching learning solutions to deliver a breakthrough in climate research, by tracing and quantifying the impact of aerosol-cloud interactions from the microscale to large-scale climate. Each student will have an interdisciplinary supervisory team, combining academic climate and machine learning supervisors as well as a non-academic advisor. International secondments to co-supervisors as well as to the non-academic partners will enrich student experience and training. PhD students will begin their projects in September 2020, kicking off with a summer school held at Oxford. Candidates must be Early-Stage Researchers (in the first four years of their research careers and not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree) and are required to undertake transnational mobility (move from one country to another). Applications for studentships are open now, with an application deadline of 3 February 2020. All applications must be submitted through the iMIRACLI project webpage: www.imiracli.eu This project receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 860100. _____________________________________________________ Philip Stier Professor of Atmospheric Physics Head of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics Department of Physics University of Oxford email: contact at imiracli.eu web: www.imiracli.eu twitter: @iMIRACLI_ITN ic, Oceanic and Planetary Physics Department of Physics University of Oxford email: contact at imiracli.eu web: www.imiracli.eu twitter: @iMIRACLI_ITN -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
