National contributions to climate change due to historical emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide since 1850

March 2023
Matthew W. Jones, Glen P. Peters, Thomas Gasser, Robbie M. Andrew, Clemens Schwingshackl, Johannes Gütschow, Richard A. Houghton, Pierre Friedlingstein, Julia Pongratz, Corinne Le Quéré
Scientific Data (Nature)
This study introduces a dataset detailing the national contributions to global warming caused by CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions from 1851 to 2021. It emphasizes the importance of national accountability offers insights into cumulative impacts. Read More →

Non-monotonic changes in Asian Water Towers’ streamflow at increasing warming levels

Nature Communications
This peer-reviewed study finds complex changes in river flows from the Tibetan Plateau under various global warming scenarios, threatening water security in some countries from reduced river flows while elevating flood risks in other areas.Read More →

Large increases in methane emissions expected from North America’s largest wetland complex

March 2023
Sheel Bansal, Max Post Van Der Burg, Rachel R. Fern, John W. Jones, Rachel Lo, Owen P. McKenna, Brian A. Tangen, Zhen Zhang, Robert A. Gleason
Science Advances
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 change as a global amplifier of human–wildlife conflict

February 2023
Briana Abrahms, Neil H. Carter, T. J. Clark-Wolf, Kaitlyn M. Gaynor, Erik Johansson, Alex McInturff, Anna C. Nisi, Kasim Rafiq, Leigh West
Nature Climate Change
This peer-reviewed study synthesizes global evidence of climate-driven conflicts between humans and wildlife, and introduces a framework to describe distinct environmental, ecological and sociopolitical pathways of climate wildlife conflict.Read More →

Black carbon aerosols over Indian Ocean have unique source fingerprint and optical characteristics during monsoon season

February 2023
Krishnakant Budhavant, August Andersson, H. Holmstrand, Örjan Gustafsson
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
This peer-reviewed study examines black carbon aerosols over the Indian ocean during the less-studied monsoon season, finding that savanna-burning fires from Africa periodically account for half of BC loadings over the Indian Ocean.Read More →
