Shifts in the Seasonal Distribution of Deaths in Australia, 1968–2007

Published:April 2013

Author(s):Charmian M. Bennett, Keith B. G. Dear, Anthony J. McMichael

Publisher:International Journal of Biometeorology

This study examines the ratio of summer to winter deaths in Australia with a background of rising average annual temperature over four decades, and finds that change has been driven more by reduced winter mortality than by increased summer mortality.Read More →

A unifying view of climate change in the Sahel linking intra-seasonal, interannual and longer time scales

Published:April 2013

Author(s):A Giannini, S Salack, T Lodoun, A Ali, A T Gaye and O Ndiaye

Publisher:Environmental Research Letters
