Climate change will significantly affect the future hydrological cycle over land, with major implications for water availability for ecosystems and anthropogenic use in regions that already face severe water scarcity. Previous […]

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated, transient corridors of enhanced water vapor transport that play important roles in the global water cycle. Based on nearly two decades of research now, […]
During the late Pleistocene and early Holocene 59 species of South American megafauna went extinct. Their extinction potentially triggered population declines of large-seeded tree species dispersed by the large-bodied frugivores with […]
The most striking and regular patterns in biology are mass scaling relations or mass distributions. These patterns span the tree of life, from bacteria to whales, as well as multiple […]
This talk will provide an overview into the main carbon problems (global warming, ocean acidification and sea level rise), related impacts for ecosystems and societies, and discuss possible solutions to […]
Upper tropospheric clouds, particularly anvil clouds, are the most abundant and radiatively important cloud type in the tropics. Their height is constrained by large-scale climate, while their optical thickness and […]
The global deep oceans serve as a huge heat buffer to absorb the surplus heat from the Earth’s ocean surface warming caused by the persistent emission of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. When […]
