Anthropogenic Forcings and Attributed Changes in Fire Risk in Western North America and Australia During 2015/16
This study finds that for 2015/16 that human influences quintupled the risk of extreme vapor pressure deficits (VPD) for western North America and increased the risk for extratropical Australia. Read More →
A Multifactor Risk Analysis of the Record 2016 Great Barrier Reef Bleaching
Anthropogenic greenhouse gases likely increased the risk of the extreme Great Barrier Reef bleaching event through anomalously high sea surface temperature and the accumulation of thermal stress.Read More →
A multiregion model evaluation and attribution study of historical changes in the area affected by temperature and precipitation extremes
Using simulations performed under different radiative forcing scenarios, a clear anthropogenic signal is found in the trends in the maximum and minimum temperature components for multiple regions.Read More →
