Balancing Earth science careers in an unequal world 

15 July 2025

Early-career Earth scientists around the world face vastly different professional landscapes. While some benefit from robust funding, strong mentorship, and institutional support, many others, especially those in low- and middle-income countries, struggle to access even the most basic resources. A recent global study published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment (https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01964-w) based on survey data and conducted in-depth interviews with early-career Earth scientists from across the globe, sheds light on these disparities and proposes concrete steps toward a more inclusive and equitable scientific community.

Bridging climate science, policy, and communities: collaborative pathways for climate resilience in the Indo-Pacific

04 July 2025

Frontiers in climate, May 2025

By bridging climate science, policy, and communities through regional platforms such as the Indo-Pacific My Climate Risk Hub at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) Pune, India, this paper in Frontiers in Climate outlines pathways for collaborative climate action. This work proposes actionable strategies for regional resilience.This study synthesizes existing climate knowledge for the Indo-Pacific region, emphasizing the need for localized, community-driven adaptation approaches.

New study: Glacier preservation doubled by limiting warming to 1.5°C versus 2.7°C

05 June 2025

An international study, published in Science, has found that only 24% of present-day glacier mass will remain if the world were to warm to 2.7°C, the trajectory set by current climate policies. In contrast, limiting warming to 1.5°C — the target of the Paris Agreement — would preserve 54% of glacier mass.

To know more, read the study "Glacier preservation doubled by limiting warming to 1.5°C versus 2.7° - Harry Zekollari et al., Science, 2025, Vol 388, Issue 6750 pp. 979-983, DOI: 10.1126/science.adu4675.
