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 →
Anthropogenic climate change and heat effects on health
Two new indices are introduced here that measure the effect of anthropogenic climate change on the intensity and frequency of health‐relevant heat extremes.Read More →

Climate Influence on Legacy Organochlorine Pollutants in Arctic Seabirds
This peer-reviewed study uses samples from the eggs of two arctic seabird species to show that climate change has caused higher concentrations of organochlorine pollutants in seabird species.Read More →
Climate change induced eutrophication of cold-water lake in an ecologically fragile nature reserve
This peer-reviewed study examines the extent to which the eutrophication of Tianchi Lake can be attributed to climate change. Climate change is determined to have played a significant role, suggesting similar impacts on other lakes and ponds.Read More →
Climate change causes upslope shifts and mountaintop extirpations in a tropical bird community
This study suggests that high-elevation species in the tropics are particularly vulnerable to climate change. The study shows that recent warming does indeed act as an escalator to extinction for birds that live on a remote Peruvian mountain.Read More →
