Increasing frequency and intensity of the most extreme wildfires on Earth

Published:June 2024

Author(s):Calum X. Cunningham, Grant J. Williamson, David M. J. S. Bowman

Publisher:Nature Ecology & Evolution

In this peer-reviewed study, the authors assess the frequency of extreme wildfire events, and find that the frequency of >99.99th percentile events has increased by 2.2x between 2002 and 2023.Read More →

Heatwave attribution based on reliable operational weather forecasts

Published:May 2024

Author(s):Nicholas J. Leach, Christopher D. Roberts, Matthias Aengenheyster, Daniel Heathcote, Dann M. Mitchell, Vikki Thompson, Tim Palmer, Antje Weisheimer, Myles R. Allen

Publisher:Nature Communications

In this peer-reviewed study, the authors use state-of-the-art operational weather prediction systems to simulate the 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave, and demonstrate that anthropogenic climate change made this event at least 8 times more likely.Read More →
