In 1961, Klaus Wyrtki published a landmark study [1], in which he laid out the foundation of our modern understanding of the thermohaline circulation. The only problem was that the […]
Extensive modeling evidence indicates the relationship between projected temperature changes and the expected increase in heat-related mortality and morbidity. While the link between temperature and climate-sensitive health outcomes may appear […]
The influence of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on Australian rainfall varies with its Eastern Pacific (EP) and Central Pacific (CP) types. Here we revisit the EP/CP ENSO’s impact on Australian […]
This is a collaborative project between the ICCP and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Germany. Utilizing the AWI-CM3 earth system model and […]
Global Warming does not affect our planet evenly. Some areas such as the Arctic region or high mountain peaks warm faster than the global average, whereas others, including large parts […]
Past climate aberrations provide unique insight into climate-carbon cycle feedbacks in the Earth System on time scales extending far beyond the instrumental record. In this presentation, I will focus on […]
Abstract: Past glacial periods were characterized by pronounced millennial-scale climate variability, mainly associated with Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) and Heinrich events, while climate during warm interglacial periods is much more stable. While […]
Dear climate enthusiasts, We invite you to join us on Thursday, June 26 2025 at 16:00 KST with speaker Dr. Sophie F. Warken from the Institute of Earth Sciences and Institute of Environmental Physics, Heidelberg University. This online speleothem lecture […]
Abstract: Over the past 25 years, speleothem-based paleoclimate research has achieved major advances in reconstructing Earth’s climate history across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. As the field […]
Fire is the primary terrestrial ecosystem disturbance on a global scale and an important Earth system process. lt is regulated by climate and weather, vegetation characteristics, and human activities, and […]
