Rising temperatures erode human sleep globally

May 2022
Kelton Minor, Andreas Bjerre-Nielsen, Sigga Svala Jonasdottir, Sune Lehmann, Nick Obradovich
OneEarth
This study finds that increased temperature shortens sleep primarily through delayed onset, increasing the probability of insufficient sleep, and that those in hotter regions experience comparably more sleep loss per degree of warming.Read More →

The role of human-induced climate change in heavy rainfall events such as the one associated with Typhoon Hagibis

May 2022
Sihan Li & Friederike E. L. Otto
Climatic Change
This study estimates that roughly $4 billion of the damages due to the extreme heavy rainfall associated with Typhoon Hagibis are due to human-induced climate change.Read More →
