The need for data-informed farmer decision-making has never been more critical. Climate change, floods, droughts, pests, diseases, and political pressures all pose significant threats to our ability to grow food. Agriculture itself sometimes makes these problems worse – being responsible for many negative environmental impacts including greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. But, […]

Climate change forecasts for the UK suggest changes to the intensity and frequency of flooding, drought, heat and strong winds, as already evidenced by the record-breaking years observed in the UK over the past decade. At present, we do not have reliable data on the impacts of climate stresses – including extreme events – on […]

There are increasing efforts to improve estimates of carbon sequestration by vegetation as this is a method of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide o reduce climate change. However, the ability to sequester carbon is affected by air quality. Tropospheric ozone is a major air pollutant that has been shown to have negative impacts on […]

Dramatic sea ice loss – “defrosting” of the Arctic has occurred as it warms 4 times faster than the rest of earth. This and other rapid changes in the Arctic, such as a freshwater release from the Beaufort Gyre (BG), may have global consequences for weather and climate if they disrupt the North Atlantic Ocean’s […]
