The mathematician, geophysicist, and key figure in oceanography is receiving today in Bilbao the XVIII Frontiers of Knowledge ...

For decades, scientists have meticulously tracked and modeled Earth's climate, building an increasingly detailed picture of global warming. Yet, the complex dance of atmospheric gases, ocean currents, ...

We investigate the drivers of projected summer precipitation changes and their uncertainties across Africa in the second half of the 21st century under the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios using CMIP6 ...

Halting the accelerating decline of global biodiversity requires robust models to project future changes and inform policy decisions. Climate models, especially model intercomparison projects, were ...

A new wave of climate research is sounding a stark warning: Human activity may be driving drought more intensely—and more directly—than previously understood. The PDO was thought to be a natural ...

Thanks to their use of a unique methodology, a McGill-led research team has obtained new insights into how boulders affect snow melt in mountainous northern environments, with implications for local ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

Climate change is unexpectedly causing north Pacific storms to shift toward the Arctic, throwing projections for future West Coast weather into question. Reading time 2 minutes In November 2024, a ...

Climate models provide reliable projections of many aspects of a warming planet over the next century and beyond due to human-caused climate change. Climate models are sets of mathematical equations ...

Abrupt Impacts of Climate Change is an updated look at the issue of abrupt climate change and its potential impacts. This study differs from previous treatments of abrupt changes by focusing on abrupt ...
