Evolution of cooperation in the division of labour on networks
When a large task is divided into several smaller subtasks, and these subtasks are allocated to different people or groups, then the system is called a division of labour. Division […]

Biotic Control – The Overlooked Driver of Blue Carbon Function and Restoration Success?
Coastal vegetated habitats such as seagrasses, salt marshes, and mangroves are among the most effective natural systems for capturing and storing carbon in the ocean, collectively known as blue carbon […]
Exploration of ocean biogeochemical cycling through isotopic measurements of organic nitrogen
Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient for biological productivity in the upper ocean, and its cycling is sensitive to global climate. The stable nitrogen isotopic ratio (i.e., 15N/14N ratio, or δ15N) […]
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 […]
Past Climate Aberration: Case Studies for Carbon Cycling and Astronomical Forcing
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 […]
