This study analyzes the impacts of climate change on pollen emission. Read More →
Emissions from fossil fuels produced on US federal lands and waters present opportunities for climate mitigation
This study estimates that the extraction, transportation and combustion of fossil fuels from federal lands and waters resulted in emissions equivalent to roughly 1.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year from 2005 to 2019.Read More →
Warming temperatures drive at least half of the magnitude of long-term trait changes in European birds
This study shows that in European birds global warming was likely the single most important contributor to temporal trends in laying date, body condition, and offspring number.Read More →
Timing of emergence of modern rates of sea-level rise by 1863
This study shows that globally, it is very likely that rates of sea-level rise emerged above pre-industrial rates by 1863 CE, which is similar in timing to evidence for early ocean warming and glacier melt.Read More →
Warming weakens the night-time barrier to global fire
This study predicts that continued night-time warming owing to anthropogenic climate change will promote more intense, longer-lasting and larger fires.Read More →
Rapid intensification of the emerging southwestern North American megadrought in 2020–2021
This study shows that after exceptional drought severity in 2021, ~19% of which is attributable to anthropogenic climate trends, 2000–2021 was the driest 22-yr period since at least 800.Read More →
Atmospheric River Precipitation Enhanced by Climate Change: A Case Study of the Storm That Contributed to California’s Oroville Dam Crisis
This study assesses how climate change impacts atmospheric river precipitation.Read More →
Trends in surface equivalent potential temperature: A more comprehensive metric for global warming and weather extremes
This study measures global warming through surface equivalent potential temperature, which combines the surface air temperature and humidity.Read More →
Global assessment of oil and gas methane ultra-emitters
This study finds that ultra-emitters constituted 8 to 12% (~8 million metric tons of methane per year) of the global oil and gas production methane emissions.Read More →
Mt. Everest’s highest glacier is a sentinel for accelerating ice loss
This study shows the significant and increasing role that melting and sublimation have on the mass loss of Mt. Everest’s highest glacier.Read More →
