Climate-Driven Changes in Wildfire Seasonality Across North America
This peer-reviewed study analyzes the impact of climate change on seasonal wildfire patterns, finding that atmospheric dryness is the primary driver of wildfire risk.Read More →
A Causal Inference Framework for Climate Change Attribution in Ecology
This peer-reviewed study investigates advances in observational research design and causal inference of climate change impacts to biodiversity and ecosystems.Read More →
Geostationary Satellite Observations of Extreme and Transient Methane Emissions from Oil and Gas Infrastructure
In this peer-reviewed study, the authors use continuous 5-minute monitoring of large methane point sources with geostationary satellites to document and quantify large methane releases from oil and gas infrastructure.Read More →
Exponential increases in high-temperature extremes in North America
This peer-reviewed study investigates continuous shifts in the frequency of extreme high-temperature events due to projected local warming trends, and finds that the odds of passing 50-year extreme high-temperatures doubles every 20 years. Read More →
Extreme heat in North America, Europe, and China made much more likely by climate change
This review article synthesizes peer-reviewed research that combines observational data and climate modeling to assess how global climate change altered the probability and intensity of the July 2023 heatwaves in the Northern Hemisphere.Read More →
Record-high CO2 emissions from boreal fires in 2021
This peer-reviewed study finds that an increase in extreme boreal fires in 2021 resulted in increased CO2 emissions. Increasing numbers of extreme boreal fires and stronger climate–fire feedbacks challenge climate mitigation efforts.Read More →
Large increases in methane emissions expected from North America’s largest wetland complex
This peer-reviewed study examines natural methane emissions from the Prairie Pothole Region, North America's largest wetland. These emissions are predicted to increase by 2- or 3-fold by 2100 under moderate or severe warming scenarios, respectively.Read More →
Climate Shift Index
Climate Shift Index (CSI) levels indicate how much climate change has altered the frequency of daily temperatures at a particular location. Read More →
Climate Change Alters Aging Patterns of Reservoir Aquatic Habitats
This study assesses the likely impact of projected temperature and precipitation changes on freshwater reservoir habitats in the continental United States.Read More →
Earlier onset of North Atlantic hurricane season with warming oceans
This study shows a significant trend towards earlier onset of tropical cyclone activity in the North Atlantic basin associated with warming oceans. Read More →
