A line graph of world newspaper coverage of climate change or global warming from 2004 to 2025 in continents around the world.

Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events.

Interested in tipping points? GES4SEAS project is offering a MOOC course on tipping points now in June.

🎓 Last Friday at @imares-group.bsky.social we held our #TFMday!
A great opportunity for our MSc students to share the research they’ve been working on these past months.


Here's a short thread with their work 👇

🌊 This week, the WGIAB is meeting at @ICMCSIC — and it’s being hosted by @riikkapd.bsky.social, iMARES member!
Since 2007, this @ICES_ASC / HELCOM group has been advancing ecosystem-based science to support holistic marine management in the Baltic Sea.

Anyone know ambitious young scientists? @imares-group.bsky.social has internships available at ICM in Barcelona.

What a fantastic week in my other professional home (ICM). I learned so many new things and I cannot wait to apply them!

What a fantastic week. So happy to be involved!!

Wrapping up a whole week of attending and teaching at the "Trophic ecology of marine organisms in past, present and future ecosystems" Workshop at @icmcsic.bsky.social organized by @imares-group.bsky.social, so excited to see the outputs 🌊

🦑🌊 This week, we’re hosting the workshop "Trophic ecology of marine organisms in past, present and future ecosystems"! 🧬🔬
Exploring traditional and cutting-edge techniques to study trophic interactions across time, from chemical tags to genetics and modelling.

Super proud of our PhD student Patrik Ståhl 🎉 Fantastic presentation @oikosfinland.bsky.social

Excited to see my friend/colleague Danielle Bansfield to defend her PhD ”Pioneering circular pathways: improved recycling of nutrients in industrial wastewaters into value-added products”. I’m learning so many new things!

Heyyy!! #MarineResearchers!!!

So proud of Patrik and the great work 💪 and persistence he put into the paper.

Viime aikoina on näkynyt useita väitteitä eri puolilla siitä, kuinka hakkuut eivät ole syy nielun pienentymiseen ja kuinka hakkuita vähentämällä metsän hiilensidonta pienenee entisestään. On taas vaihteeksi aika korjata näitä harhaanjohtavia väittämiä. 1/11

So last week I got to live the marine scientist dream with dolphins and octopuses etc. But the main point of is that a Mediterranean marine biology course will be offered at Åbo Akademi in June 2026!

This is the view from our office today, with @riikkapd.bsky.social and @manelgazo.bsky.social, looking for locations for the future Mediterranean Marine Biology international course, coming in 2027.
