Ubiquitous Acceleration in Greenland Ice Sheet Calving From 1985 to 2022

January 2024
Chad A. Greene, Alex S. Gardner, Michael Wood, Joshua K. Cuzzone
Nature
This peer-reviewed study that, since 1985, the Greenland Ice Sheet has lost 5,091 ± 72 km2 of area, and that current consensus estimates of ice-sheet mass balance have underestimated recent mass loss from Greenland by as much as 20%.Read More →

The Effect of Arctic Sea-Ice Loss on Extratropical Cyclones

September 2023
Stephanie Hay, Matthew D. K. Priestley, Hao Yu, Jennifer L. Catto, James A. Screen
Geophysical Research Letters
This peer-reviewed study examines how cyclones may change as Arctic sea ice diminishes. In northern mid-latitudes winter storms will be weaker, slower moving, but longer lasting, and Pacific storm tracks will shift towards North America.Read More →

Twenty-first century increases in total and extreme precipitation across the Northeastern USA

May 2023
Christopher J. Picard, Jonathan M. Winter, Charlotte Cockburn, Janel Hanrahan, Natalie G. Teale, Patrick J. Clemens, and Brian Beckage
Climatic Change
This peer-reviewed study uses a regional climate model to project increases in extreme events across the northeastern United States over the coming century, particularly during winter months. Read More →

Synthesis Report of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

March 2023
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
This Synthesis Report summarizes the state of knowledge of climate change, its widespread impacts and risks, and climate change mitigation and adaptation, based on the peer-reviewed scientific, technical and socio-economic literature since 2014.Read More →

Global concurrent climate extremes exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change

March 2023
Sha Zhou, Bofu Yu, and Yao Zhang
Science Advances
This peer-reviewed study uses statistical analysis to link increased frequency of temperature and precipitation extremes to anthropogenic climate change. Read More →

Climate-driven changes of global marine mercury cycles in 2100

January 2023
Yujuan Wang, Peipei Wu, Yanxu Zhang
Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences
This peer reviewed study uses a global ocean model to project potentially harmful climate-driven changes to the global marine mercury cycle in 2100.Read More →

Climate change alters impacts of extreme climate events on a tropical perennial tree crop

November 2022
Thomas J. Creedy, Rebecca A. Asare, Alexandra C. Morel, Mark Hirons, John Mason, Yadvinder Malhi, Constance L. McDermott, Emmanuel Opoku, Ken Norris
Nature Scientific Reports
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 →

Climate-driven decoupling of wetland and upland biomass trends on the mid-Atlantic coast

October 2022
Yaping Chen, Matthew L. Kirwan
Nature Geoscience
This peer-reviewed study uses 36 years of satellite observations to understand the impact of climate change and sea-level rise on the role that coastal ecosystems play as a global carbon sink.Read More →

Changing Hydrographic, Biogeochemical, and Acidification Properties in the Gulf of Maine as Measured by the Gulf of Maine North Atlantic Time Series, GNATS, Between 1998 and 2018

June 2022
William M. Balch, David T. Drapeau, Bruce C. Bowler, Nicholas R. Record, Nicholas R. Bates, Sunny Pinkham, Rebecca Garley, Catherine Mitchell
JGR: Biogeosciences
This study covers physical, chemical, biological, biogeochemical, and bio-optical changes in the Gulf of Maine.Read More →

Timing of emergence of modern rates of sea-level rise by 1863

February 2022
Jennifer S. Walker, Robert E. Kopp, Christopher M. Little, & Benjamin P. Horton
Nature Communications
This study shows that globally, it is very likely that rates of sea-level rise emerged above pre-industrial rates by 1863 CE, which is similar in timing to evidence for early ocean warming and glacier melt.Read More →
