The paper explores the role of video games as a tool for geoscience communication, highlighting the pros and cons of palaeontological video games as educational/science communication tools. The topic of the paper is an interesting one, as video games are the largest sector of the media entertainment industry with millions of people interacting with them every day. The section on gender diversity and representation of palaeontologists in video games is valuable as misrepresentation can lead to the persistence of harmful stereotypes which can in turn discourage certain demographies to choose geoscience and palaeontology-related careers.

. This study analyses the variability and trends of ultraviolet-B (UV-B, wavelength 280–320 nm) 28 radiation that can cause DNA damage, which are caused by climate change due to enhanced greenhouse gas 29 (GHG) concentrations. The analysis is based on DNA active irradiance, total ozone, total cloud cover, and 30 surface albedo calculations with the EMAC Chemistry-Climate Model (CCM) free running simulations 31 following the RCP-6.0 climate scenario for the period 1960–2100. The model output is evaluated with DNA 32 active irradiance ground-based measurements, satellite SBUV (v8.7) total ozone measurements and satellite 33 MODIS/Terra cloud cover data. The results show that the model reproduces the observed variability and 34 change of total ozone, DNA active irradiance, and cloud cover for the period 2000-2018 quite well. Between 35 50 o N–50 o S, the DNA-damaging UV radiation is expected to decrease until 2050 and to increase thereafter, 36 as it was shown previously by Eleftheratos et al. (2020). This change is associated with decreases in the 37 model total cloud cover and insignificant trends in total ozone after about 2050. The new study confirms the 38 previous work by adding more stations over low and mid-latitudes (13 instead of 5 stations). In addition, we 39 include estimates from high latitude stations with long-term measurements of UV irradiance (2 stations in 40 the northern high latitudes and 4 stations in the southern high latitudes greater than 55 o ). In contrast to the 41 predictions for 50 o N–50 o S, it is shown that DNA active irradiance will continue to decrease after the year 42 2050 over high latitudes because of upward ozone trends. At latitudes poleward of 55 o N, we estimate that 43 DNA active irradiance will decrease by 10.6 ± 3.7% from 2050 to 2100. Similarly, at latitudes poleward of 44 55 o S, DNA active irradiance will decrease by 4.8 ± 2.9% after 2050. The results for the high latitudes refer 45 to the summer period and not to the seasons when ozone depletion occurs, i.e., in late winter and spring. The 46 contributions of ozone, cloud and albedo trends on the DNA active irradiance trends are estimated and 47 discussed.

This study analyses the variability and trends of ultraviolet-B (UV-B, wavelength 280–320 nm) 33 radiation that can cause DNA damage, which are caused by climate change due to enhanced greenhouse 34 gas (GHG) concentrations. The analysis is based on DNA active irradiance, total ozone, total cloud cover, 35 and surface albedo calculations with the EMAC Chemistry-Climate Model (CCM) free running simulations 36 following the RCP-6.0 climate scenario for the period 1960–2100. The model output is evaluated with 37 DNA active irradiance ground-based measurements, satellite SBUV (v8.7) total ozone measurements and 38 satellite MODIS/Terra cloud cover data. The results show that the model reproduces the observed 39 variability and change of total ozone, DNA active irradiance, and cloud cover for the period 2000-2018 40 quite well according to the statistical comparisons. Between 50 N–50 S, the DNA-damaging UV radiation 41 is expected to decrease until 2050 and to increase thereafter, as it was shown previously by Eleftheratos et 42
