Climate Change Working Group
Dear all,
I re-launch the possibility to create the Climate Change Working Group with the new call.
With the previous call we thought about it too late and there was no time for writing the proposal, now we have some time (not so much but probably enough).
Already 6 people were interested (me, Luigi Caranti, Nivas Babu Selvaraj, Salvador Lladó, Marco Masia and Maria Bostenaru Dan) so I kindly ask these guys to confirm their interest and I ask to anybody else to participate and contribute.

Many thanks Riccardo for you work! It's a pity that we can not create a thematic chapter. Let's see if we can in the future, as you said.
Best regards,
Salvador
Dear Riccardo,
in the meantime I already constituted another chapter (the MCAA Sicily chapter) that I coordinate. I don't knnow if I can be part of your group as well.
Luigi
Dear Luigi,
I already added you as member of the Climate Change group which is just an informal group on this webportal, no problem being chair of a chapter.
Riccardo
Dear ALL,
despite it is not possible to make a climate change group (why? ),
maybe it woud be worth with to know what each one is doing more specifically and see if there is a space for collaboration/exchange of ideas students etc. or keeping updated on relevant papers and conferences or oppurtunities.
If someone is interested please let me know.

Dear Simonetta,
yesterday I created the Climate Change group on this portal, please check this post (https://www.mariecuriealumni.eu/posts/climate-change-group-join-it)
and here the Group (https://www.mariecuriealumni.eu/groups/climate-change). I actually already added you as member.

Hi Riccardo,
thank you so much. S.
Hi, Ricardo, this group seems a little dormant and I have no idea if it is still working or if there is any action behind it.
Anyway...
Ecological regime shifts, are abrupt changes in ecosystems structure and functioning. They can be explained with the theory of nonlinear systems crossing critical thresholds, suddenly bringing unexpected, system-wide, dramatic changes. These shifts can carry significant socio-economic impacts and losses of ecosystem services, for example when they involve fisheries collapses or reef degradations, and as such interest scientists and managers alike, as highlighted in a special issue on marine regime shifts on Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B and numerous other publications. They have been found in all environments (terrestrial, lacustrine, marine). In the marine realm regime shifts have been reported in multiple habitats worldwide, from benthic reefs to pelagic ecosystems. It is likely that we will experience more frequent and more encompassing regime shifts as the predicted climate change scenarios progress. Future ecosystem management approaches should therefore incorporate knowledge on critical thresholds.
If there is someone alive and interested (especially in the ITN call) let me know!
Thanks, Alessandra
I have talked to Snezana and it is unfortunately not possible to create thematic chapters and/or working groups with this call, so let´s try again in future!
Thanx to all the people interested.
Anyway nobody avoids creating a group on Climate Changes on this portal where sharing information, docs and pubs and for keeping in touch in case we need some expertees for writing new proposals.
