Prolonged Suppression of Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Uptake After an Anomalously Warm Year
This study suggests that more frequent anomalously warm years, a possible consequence of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide levels, may lead to a sustained decrease in carbon dioxide uptake by terrestrial ecosystems.Read More →

From Production-Based to Consumption-Based National Emissions Inventories
This article discusses several issues in moving from the standard production-based National Emission Inventories (NEI) to consumption-based NEI.Read More →
Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
This report describes a regional, multivariable climate-change detection and attribution study that focuses on the changes that have already affected a primarily arid region with a large and growing population.Read More →
Estimating local greenhouse gas emissions—A case study on a Portuguese municipality
This paper describes the study that led to the development of a carbon dioxide emissions matrix for the Oeiras municipality, one of the largest Portuguese municipalities, located in the metropolitan area of Lisbon. Read More →
Forcing of Multiyear Extreme Ocean Temperatures that Impacted California Current Living Marine Resources in 2016
Significant impacts on California Current living marine resources in 2016 resulted from sustained extremely high ocean temperatures forced by a confluence of natural drivers and likely exacerbated by anthropogenic warming.Read More →
