Five Reasons Why Climate Action Needs Women 💁♀️
Climate change slowing down, not speeding up, movement of large Arctic rivers: study
Scientists have long believed that rapid warming in the Arctic would cause river channels to move faster, but a new study has found the opposite may be true for large, winding rivers in the region.
Denmark keeps on dithering over climate adaptation plans
Despite its reputation as a nation at the forefront of green technologies like wind power, Denmark has been slow to focus on climate adaptation.

Coastal Ecology post-doc — Gulf of Maine Research Institute (Portland, ME)
Open until April 15
The Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) seeks applicants for a 2-year postdoctoral researcher position to conduct research on climate-ecosystem interactions, fisheries dynamics, and coastal ecosystem ecology in the Gulf of Maine. The postdoctoral associate will work under the supervision of Dr. Graham Sherwood (Fisheries Ecologist) and collaborate with a team of scientists at GMRI and staff at the Quahog Bay Conservancy (QBC) to examine the impacts of anthropogenic change on coastal living marine resources in Maine.
SFEI is seeking a GIS Specialist to join the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) team. This position will be a full-time position (40 hrs per week), under the supervision of the GIS Manager. Although a strong foundation of GIS skills is required, an environmental science background to enable effective landscape interpretation, change analysis, and mapping is ideal.
