Abstract Soils can sequester carbon and contribute to climate change mitigation, but credible soil carbon offset markets require robust Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) programs. Current approaches rely on models with soil sampling or on repeated probability sampling. We propose a digital soil mapping (DSM) framework to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC) stock change and uncertainty.

| Science Magazine Verified
Abstract In 2021, Canada experienced one of the most extreme heatwaves ever seen anywhere on the globe. We use a weather forecast model to attribute health impacts to climate change. We simulate the heatwave as a present-day forecast, a preindustrial-counterfactual scenario, and a future-counterfactual scenario. Despite the extremeness of the event, our analysis shows that, under current climate conditions, we could have still seen up to 30% more heat-related deaths than the number observed.

The earth’s climate experienced its hottest year in 2024. Extreme flooding in April killed hundreds of people in Pakistan and Afghanistan. A year-long drought has left Amazon river levels at an all-time low. And in Athens, Greece, the ancient Acropolis to protect tourists from dangerous heat. A new report from the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service confirms that 2024 was the first year on record with a global average temperature exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
