As part of the Exeter Climate Forum (30th June-4th July), the University of Exeter and the Met Office are running the Exeter Climate Conference (2nd-4th July) to discuss research to inform the road to COP30 (and beyond). We have some superb speakers, panellists, and session conveners involved (see: https://lnkd.in/ex5-EPME). Early Bird registration rates are available until 30th April, so please sign-up as soon as you can.

New research out today shows that multiple climate “tipping points” are likely to be triggered if global policies stay on their current course. Scientists from Exeter and Universität Hamburg assessed the risk of “tipping” in 16 different parts of the Earth system, ranging from the collapse of major ice sheets to the dieback of tropical coral reefs and vast forests. Based on current policies and the resulting global warming, their most conservative estimate is a 62% risk of triggering these tipping points on average. However, more sustainable future pathways, with lower greenhouse gas emissions, significantly reduce the risk of tipping points. https://lnkd.in/eKeYTPAG
Today is Earth Day 🌏 At the University of Exeter we have over 1,500 researchers and educators working towards a green future. Here's a snapshot of the work that has been making headlines in recent days First up, the SeaCURE project featured on BBC News over the weekend. Read the online article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eBMgcEzZ and listen to the Radio 4 report here (at 1hr 25 mins) 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAvsB76m There's been widespread coverage of a study by University of Exeter Centre for Ecology and Conservation (CEC). For the first time, wild chimps have been pictured eating and sharing fruit containing alcohol. Guardian report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g7zV3XPi and full study here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXC2-jzM Another new study found that ticks are more likely to carry the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease in areas where pheasants are released. The research was led by the CEC and & UK Health Security Agency. Coverage included BBC News 👉 https://lnkd.in/ezKwmchb. Full paper here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eNmuTN5H
The Digital Engineering Careers Showcase was a great opportunity to hear from and speak informally to the team from Laing O'Rourke, says student Evan Spencer. ⤵️ 👀 Many thanks to Laing O'Rourke for coming and we look forward to further collaborations!

Speaking at our Digital Engineering Careers Showcase with Laing O'Rourke, Hinkley Point C engineers Vicky Jones and Nilema Rahman talked about the many opportunities in digital, saying the ability to change direction is what makes careers in engineering exciting. ⤵️ 👀 University of Exeter Engineering James Webber University of Exeter https://lnkd.in/dE3dU3Nd
Civil Engineering student Freya Killilea said that “no matter what I do, I know I have a wide variety of career paths that I can take later on in life”, after attending our Digital Engineering Careers Showcase with Laing O'Rourke. 👀 ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/dE3dU3Nd University of Exeter Engineering University of Exeter
Interested in a career in engineering? Each year, we host a Digital Engineering Careers Showcase with Laing O'Rourke, which helps our students understand the wide range of roles open to them in digital engineering after they graduate. "It gives our students the confidence to know they can try things, pivot and approach things differently," says Dr James Webber.

Want to understand how climate misinformation works - and who's spreading it? Check out Hot Air from Tortoise Media, C3DS, University of Exeter University of Exeter
Introducing Hot Air, a publicly-available interactive database and visualisation tool highlighting the volume of online misinformation surrounding climate change. Developed in partnership with C3DS, University of Exeter and supported by Octopus Energy. The tool tracks online climate misinformation, revealing the origins of stories such as: 🌍 Wind turbines being harmful to whales 🌎 Volcanic eruptions being responsible for temperature increases 🌏 Farmers forced to kill livestock to meet net zero targets With assistance from the University of Exeter, our data team identified almost 300 individual actors who regularly post online about climate – in ways that range from scepticism to outright misinformation. Head to our website to explore the tool yourself: https://torto.se/42jShSz Bex Sander | Joseph White | Katherine Riley
