This study connects climate change with increases in extreme heat and decreases in extreme cold across Europe.Read More →
Physical Understanding of Human-Induced Changes in U.S. Hot Droughts Using Equilibrium Climate Simulations
Summertime drought–heat-wave relationships have changed significantly over the southern and southwestern United States because of anthropogenic climate change since the late nineteenth century.Read More →
Concurrent 2018 Hot Extremes Across Northern Hemisphere Due to Human‐Induced Climate Change
Results show the 2018 north hemispheric concurrent heat events were influenced by anthropogenic warming and further reveal that the average high-exposure area to concurrent warm and hot spells in the Northern Hemisphere will increase with warming.Read More →
The Role of Natural Variability and Anthropogenic Climate Change in the 2017/18 Tasman Sea Marine Heatwave
This article describes the record sea surface temperatures during the 2017/18 Tasman Sea marine heatwave and how climate models indicate that they were virtually impossible without anthropogenic influence. Read More →

Heat Records Fall in the Arctic as Fires Erupt in Sweden and Siberia
This article describes the devastating wildfires in Scandinavia and Siberia in summer 2018 due to an unprecedented heatwave that swept across the Arctic Circle.Read More →
Red-hot Planet: All-time heat Records Have Been Set All Over the World During the Past Week
This article describes the all-time record-setting heat wave in the Northern Hemisphere in summer 2018 and cautions that these heat records are consistent with the extremes scientists expect to see in a warming world. Read More →
Early 21st century anthropogenic changes in extremely hot days as simulated by the C20C+ detection and attribution multi-model ensemble
We find that most regions experience increases in the frequency and intensity of extremely hot three day periods due to anthropogenic climate change.Read More →
Climate Change Increased the Likelihood of the 2016 Heat Extremes in Asia
This article describes how the 2016 extreme warmth across Asia would not have been possible without climate change, and how the 2015/16 El Niño also contributed to regional warm extremes over Southeast Asia and the Maritime Continent.Read More →
