Climate whiplash effects due to rapidly intensifying El Niño cycles
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a key driver of global climate variability, is projected to undergo a dramatic transformation […]
Running Dry – a new study warns of extreme water scarcity in the coming decades
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in the Republic of Korea reveals that […]
Reconstructing past ENSO variability from Borneo stalagmites: Recent results and ongoing challenges
We invite you to join us on Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 16:00 KST with speaker Dr. Stacy Carolin from the University of Oxford, UK. This online speleothem lecture series at the IBS Center for Climate Physics, Busan, South Korea welcomes […]
Glacial to Inter-Glacial Transition and Iron Fertilization: Limited Additionality and Durability of Carbon Uptake
Climate stabilization scenarios limiting global warming to 1.5-2℃ targets generally require augmentation of natural atmospheric CO2 removal with additional carbon dioxide removal (CDR) around 2-3 PgC year-1 solutions sustained over […]
Amplified Arctic warming, but cooling Antarctica
Since the Industrial Revolution, the global average annual temperature has risen by 1.09ºC by 2020. According to the 6th Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, the ongoing global warming is […]
Understanding the Dynamics of the AMOC – a historical perspective on science and biases therein
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 […]
Current and future temperature-related mortality and morbidity in Japan
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 […]
Understanding the Diverse Impact of EP/CP ENSO Events on Australian Spring Rainfall
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 […]
