Published:September 2023

Author(s):Carter M. Powis, David Byrne, Zachary Zobel, Kelly N. Gassert, A.C. Lute, Christopher R. Schwalm

Publisher:Science Advances

This peer-reviewed study performs a statistical extrapolation of temperature and humidity trends to calculate the annual likelihood of unsurvivable conditions (six hours of exposure to 35°C wet-bulb temperatures) in six different warming regimes.Read More →

Decreasing fire season precipitation increased recent western U.S. forest wildfire activity

Published:August 2023

Author(s):Zachary Holden, Alan Swanson, Charles Luce, W. Jolly, Marco Maneta, Jared Oyler, Dyer Warren, Russell Parsons, and David Affleck

Publisher:Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

This peer-reviewed study uses climate modeling and statistical analysis of precipitation trends from 1979 to 2015 in the western United States to show that declines in summer precipitation contributed to the area of land burned by wildfires.Read More →

Ungulate-vehicle crashes peak a month earlier than 38 years ago due to global warming

Published:June 2023

Author(s):Michal Bíl, Richard Andrášik, Tomás Kušta, and Tomás Bartonička

Publisher:Climatic Change

This peer-reviewed study uses car crash and temperature data to find that the annual spring peak in wildlife-vehicle crashes has shifted earlier by a month over the past several decades due to warmer temperatures, indicating ecosystem impacts.Read More →

Climate change, water availability, and the burden of rural women’s triple role in Muyuka, Cameroon

Published:June 2023

Author(s):Lotsmart Fonjang, Regina Zama

Publisher:Global Environmental Change

This review article draws from ecofeminist writings, interview-style surveys of women in Cameroon, and water availability data to describe how traditional gender roles amplify the vulnerability of women to climate change impacts in Muyuka, Cameroon.Read More →
