Unpacking the task of synthesis when weaving knowledge systems for biodiversity assessments
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The pivot towards evidence‐based conservation since 2000 has inspired global environmental assessments to gather evidence across multiple knowledge systems, including through co‐production with Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Knowledge co‐production is highlighted as a strategy for transformative change towards a just future that ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The aurora borealis (northern lights) is an abiotic natural phenomenon that contributes to human well‐being. There is currently a significant research gap in primary qualitative valuation of the aurora's links to people. This exploratory qualitative study applies the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Abstract The presence of Arctic clouds plays a crucial role in the evolution of the surface temperature of Arctic sea ice. However, large biases in cloud representation remain in state‐of‐the‐art weather and climate models. In this study, we use observational data from the one‐year Arctic ship campaign Multi‐disciplinary drifting Observatory for the ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.During the day, there is composite mean cold advection in the boundary layer on warm days (WDs), hot days (HDs) and heatwaves (HWs). There is weaker surface‐sensible heating on HDs and HWs. A nocturnal jet advects warm air on HDs and HWs. There is a strong and slow‐moving upper‐level anticyclone on HWs.
