Impact of climatic and vegetation dynamic change on runoff over the Three Rivers Source Region based on the Community Land Model
This peer-reviewed study uses climate modeling to investigate the impact of anthropogenic warming and related vegetation changes on the runoff in the Three Rivers Source Region that drives three economically important rivers in China.Read More →
Rapid attribution analysis of the extraordinary heat wave on the Pacific coast of the US and Canada in June 2021
Towards the end of June 2021, temperature records were broken by several degrees Celsius in several cities in the Pacific Northwest areas of the US and Canada, leading to spikes in sudden deaths and sharp increases in emergency calls and hospital visRead More →
Forest fire threatens global carbon sinks and population centres under rising atmospheric water demand
This study finds that climate change is projected to lead to widespread increases in fire risk, with at least 30 additional days above critical thresholds for fire activity in forest biomes on every continent by 2100 under rising emissions scenarios.Read More →
Climate change alters impacts of extreme climate events on a tropical perennial tree crop
This peer-reviewed study analyzes the impact of fluctuations in the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on cocoa production in Ghana, as a model for understanding the impact of anthropogenic climate change and resulting ENSO fluctuation.Read More →
Extreme temperature increases the risk of stillbirth in the third trimester of pregnancy
This study examines the effect of extreme temperatures on stillbirth in Taiwan. As Taiwan faces a 2- to 5-fold increase in annual days over 30 °C by 2060, heat-related mortality is predicted to increase drastically.Read More →
Evidence of sweet corn yield losses from rising temperatures
This peer-reviewed study analyzes 27 years of sweet corn data to quantify the impacts of temperature and precipitation variation and intensity on the yield of sweet corn, and predicts increasing yield losses from climate change without adaptation.Read More →
The impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C Global Warming on Global Maize Production and Trade
This peer-reviewed study applies five climate simulations to assess the impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C scenarios on the global production of maize, a staple food crop. Read More →
Impact of recent climate change on corn, rice, and wheat in southeastern USA
This peer-reviewed study computes the effects of climactic variables, including daily maximum and minimum temperatures and rainfall, on the yield of corn, rice, and wheat in the southeastern U.S.Read More →
