This peer-reviewed study examined two extreme heatwaves in Western Europe in 2019, finding that their frequency and intensity were influenced by climate change.Read More →

Anthropogenic Climate Change and Glacier Lake Outburst Flood Risk: Local and Global Drivers and Responsibilities for the Case of Lake Palcacocha, Peru

August 2020
Christian Huggel, Mark Carey, Adam Emmer, Holger Frey, Noah Walker-Crawford, and Ivo Wallimann-Helmer
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Analysis of lake Palcacocha's case in the Andes of Peru, which offers a representative model for other glacier lakes and related risks around the world because it features a dynamic evolution of flood risk driven by physical and socioeconomic factorsRead More →

Anthropogenic warming forces extreme annual glacier mass loss

August 2020
Lauren J. Vargo, Brian M. Anderson, Ruzica Dadić, Huw J. Horgan, Andrew N. Mackintosh, Andrew D. King, Andrew M. Lorrey
Nature Climate Change
Glacier mass balance is simulated using temperature and precipitation from multiple climate model ensembles. The authors estimate extreme mass loss was six (2011) and ten (2018) times more likely to occur with anthropogenic forcing than without.Read More →

Extinction risk assessment of a Patagonian ungulate using population dynamics models under climate change scenarios

July 2020
Carlos Riquelme, Sergio A. Estay, Rafael Contreras, Paulo Corti
International Journal of Biometeorology
Huemul population is currently in a quasi-extinction process, with extinction probabilities increasing with climate change.These results are crucial for conservation of species like huemul that have low densities and are threatened by climate change.Read More →
