"Climate change is causing the world's glaciers to disappear at an alarming rate. Scientists have been studying and modeling this process for years, but until now, no research group has specifically examined how glacier melt will affect glacier-fed streams and their ecosystems".

New Earth system #modeling paper published: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.

Moritz Adam and co-authors are benchmarking carbon dioxide removal #CDR through Sun-driven #co2 conversion.

Main takeaways:

▶️ Unwanted indirect climate effects are negligible
▶️ Energy requirements are substantial
▶️ Achieving high efficiencies is crucial to avoiding land use conflicts
▶️ Accelerating emission reductions now is essential!

How to assess a statistical model?
How to choose between variables?

Pearson's #correlation is irrelevant if you suspect that the relationship is not a straight line.

If monotonic relationship:
"#Spearman’s rho is particularly useful for small samples where weak correlations are expected, as it can detect subtle monotonic trends." It is "widespread across disciplines where the measurement precision is not guaranteed".
"#Kendall’s Tau-b is less affected [than Spearman’s rho] by outliers in the data, making it a robust option for datasets with extreme values."

"In real life, we weigh the anticipated consequences of the decisions that we are about to make. That approach is much more rational than limiting the percentage of making the error of one kind in an artificial (null hypothesis) setting or using a measure of evidence for each model as the weight."

"In #probability theory, a log-normal (or #lognormal) distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed. Thus, if the random variable X is log-normally distributed, then Y = ln(X) has a normal distribution."

"It is a convenient and useful model for measurements in exact and engineering sciences, as well as medicine, economics […], energies, concentrations, lengths, prices".
