Large future changes in climate variability
New computer model simulations identify widespread changes in climate variability under sustained anthropogenic forcing There is growing public awareness that climate change will impact society not only through changes in […]
Cave deposits reveal Monsoon response to ice sheet meltwater in the North Atlantic
The Greenland ice sheet has been melting over the last few decades in response to global warming. This decline not only contributes to global sea level rise, but the ice […]
Axel Timmermann receives “Highly Cited Researcher” recognition from Clarivate Analytics for fourth consecutive year
Axel Timmermann, Director of IBS Center for Climate Physics at Pusan National University, has been selected as one of the 2021 Highly Cited Researchers of Clarivate Analytics. Dr. Timmermann has […]
International climate scientists call for more ambition in final texts
Scientists urge parties at COP26 to fully acknowledge the latest and most comprehensive assessment of climate change science, included in the last IPCC reports, especially the Sixth Assessment Report Climate […]
Fewer El Niño and La Niña events in a warmer world
Highest resolution global warming simulation conducted to date reveals possible end of El Niño/ La Niña temperature cycle The cycling between warm El Niño and cold La Niña conditions in […]
East Antarctic summer cooling trends caused by tropical rainfall clusters
A new study identifies key linkages between rainfall occurring in the tropics and climate trends in Antarctica Our planet is warming due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions; but the warming […]
Twice as much carbon flowing from land to ocean than previously thought
Every year 600-900 million tons of carbon flow through rivers to the ocean either as particles or in dissolved form. Researchers have known for a long time that this does […]
Future ocean warming boosts tropical rainfall extremes
Ocean warming predicted to cause a twofold increase in amplitude of rainfall fluctuations over the tropical Pacific The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most energetic naturally occurring year-to-year variation […]
Sediment cores and computer model reveal multiple Sahara greenings
Wet and dry conditions in northern Africa alternated every ~20,000 years, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Prehistoric engravings of giraffes and swimming humans suggest […]
Reconstructing the pulse of East Asian climate
One of ICCP’s missions is to develop a better understanding of how and why the East Asian Monsoon system has changed in the past. The key data for this […]
Expect fewer, but more destructive landfalling tropical cyclones
A study based on new high-resolution supercomputer simulations, published in this week’s issue of the journal Science Advances, reveals that global warming will intensify landfalling tropical cyclones of category 3 […]
