Peer-reviewed Study

This category encompasses original research on attribution that has undergone peer review. It applies to specific studies; not to reviews or meta-analyses of the studies.

Irreversible Glacier Change and Trough Water for Centuries after Overshooting 1.5°C

May 2025
Lilian Schuster et al.
Nature Climate Change
This study examines the impact of exceeding 1.5°C of global warming on mountain glaciers, sea levels, and water availability.Read More →

Hurricane Ida’s Blackout-Heatwave Compound Risk in a Changing Climate

May 2025
Kairui Feng, Ning Lin, Avantika Gori, Dazhi Xi, Min Ouyang, and Michael Oppenheimer
Nature Communications
This study examines the increased tropical cyclone-blackout-heatwave compound risk in Louisiana and finds that the return period of major events is expected to decrease by 17 times in this century. Read More →

Granger causal inference for climate change attribution

May 2025
Mark D Risser, Mohammed Ombadi and Michael F Wehner
Environmental Research: Climate
This peer-reviewed study evaluates the usefulness of different attribution analysis techniques, finding that Granger causation can be particularly helpful in certain circumstances, including rapid attribution analysis.Read More →

High-Income Groups Disproportionately Contribute to Climate Extremes Worldwide

May 2025
Sarah Schöngart, Zebedee Nicholls, Roman Hoffmann, Setu Pelz, Carl-Friedrich Schleussner
Nature Climate Change
This study finds that two-thirds of global warming is attributable to the GHG emissions of the wealthiest 10% of people. Read More →

Anthropogenic Forcing Dominates Changes in Compound Long-Duration Dry and Heat Extremes in China

May 2025
Fengchun Ye, Pinya Wang, Yang Yang, Lili Ren, Jianping Tang, Hong Liao

Decreased Likelihood of Schooling as a Consequence of Tropical Cyclones: Evidence from 13 Low- and Middle-Income Countries

April 2025
Renzhi Jing, Sam Heft-Neal, Zetianyu Wang, Eran Bendavid
PNAS
This study assesses the impact of tropical cyclones on educational attainment using data from 5.4 million individuals in 13 countries. It emphasizes the need to protect schooling in the face of increasingly severe tropical cyclones.Read More →

Carbon majors and the scientific case for climate liability

April 2025
Christopher W. Callahan, Justin S. Mankin
Nature
This peer-reviewed article outlines a transparent, reproducible and flexible framework to formalize how end-to-end attribution could inform litigation by assessing whose emissions are responsible for which harms.Read More →
