Localized Strong Warming and Humidification Over Winter Japan Tied to Sea Ice Retreat

Published:June 2023

Author(s):K. Tamura, T. Sato

Publisher:Geophysical Research Letters

This peer-reviewed study uses temperature data in Japan, sorted by atmospheric pressure, to identify a strong warming pattern over Japan during winter months, linked to decreases in sea ice in the Sea of OkhotskRead More →

The most at-risk regions in the world for high-impact heatwaves

Published:April 2023

Author(s):Vikki Thompson, Dann Mitchell, Gabriele C. Hegerl, Matthew Collins, Nicholas J. Leach, Julia M. Slingo

Publisher:Nature Communications

This peer-reviewed study uses extreme value statistics to show where regional temperature records are statistically likely to be exceeded, and identifies communities that may be more at-risk of high-impact heatwaves.Read More →

Compound climate-pollution extremes in Santiago de Chile

Published:April 2023

Author(s):Sarah Feron, Raúl R. Cordero, Alessandro Damiani, Pedro Oyola, Tabish Ansari, Juan C. Pedemonte, Chenghao Wang, Zutao Ouyang, Valentina Gallo

Estimating coastal flood damage costs to transit infrastructure under future sea level rise

Published:April 2023

Author(s):Michael V. Martello, Andrew J. Whittle

Publisher:Nature Communications Earth & Environment

This peer-reviewed study constructs an event-specific flood damage cost estimation framework for transit systems, and apply this framework to the MBTA rail transit system in Boston to estimate damages under several sea level rise conditions.Read More →
