Climate Change Attribution

This category encompasses research aimed at understanding how human activities are affecting the global climate system, which includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. The resources listed below focus on how increasing concentrations of CO2 and other heat-trapping gases affect other climate variables, such as atmospheric temperature, ocean heat content, global mean sea level, and sea ice concentration. These resources include some data sets that are integral to attribution research.

Attributing long-term sea-level rise to Paris Agreement emission pledges

November 2019
Alexander Nauels, Johannes Gütschow, Matthias Mengel, Malte Meinshausen, Peter U. Clark, and Carl-Friedrich Schleussner
PNAS
This study uses GMSLR modeling that can handle emission scenarios flexibly to establish the link between pledged NDC emissions and GMSLR until 2300, thus highlighting the longer-term climate change implications of current climate mitigation efforts.Read More →

Increased outburst flood hazard from Lake Palcacocha due to human-induced glacier retreat

February 2021
R. F. Stuart-Smith, G. H. Roe, S. Li & M. R. Allen
Nature Geoscience
The retreat of Palcaraju glacier cannot be explained by natural variability alone, as human-induced warming equals between 85 and 105% (5–95% confidence interval) of the observed 1 °C warming in this region.Read More →

Earth’s Ice Imbalance

January 2021
Thomas Slater, Isobel R. Lawrence, Inès N. Otosaka, Andrew Shepherd, Noel Gourmelen, Livia Jakob, Paul Tepes, Lin Gilbert, and Peter Nienow
The Cryosphere
Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017, and the rate of ice loss has risen by 57 % since the 1990s.Read More →
