This funded PhD project investigates what happens on land when temperatures exceed 1.5°C and examines the long-term consequences of climate “overshoot.” The research will combine geochemical datasets with climate model simulations to determine how land systems respond to past, present and future warming. By connecting evidence from different climate periods with modelled future conditions, the project will contribute to improved assessments of the environmental consequences of exceeding 1.5°C of...
