Earth’s glacial cycles enhanced by Antarctic sea-ice
During past glacial periods the earth was about 6ºC colder and the Northern hemisphere continents were covered by ice sheets up to 4 kilometers thick. However, the earth would not […]
Future subtropical warming accelerates tropical climate change
In response to future fossil fuel burning, climate computer models simulate a pronounced warming in the tropicaloceans. This warming can influence the El Niño phenomenon and shift weather and rainfall patterns across […]
Feature interview with Eun Young Kwon, Ph.D.
Eun Young Kwon is an Associate Project Leader at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP). After graduation in the Department of Earth Science Education from Seoul National University, she […]

Axel Timmermann, Director of the IBS Center for Climate Physics at Pusan National University, has been added to this year’s Clarivate Analytics list of Highly Cited Researchers. This list identifies […]
Be a Climate Scientist for One Day
On November 6, 2019, the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) held its third ‘Climate Day’. A total of 57 students and teachers from Busan Foreign School, International School of […]
2019 Unjae Academy Award from Korean Meteorological Society (KMS)
ICCP scientists attended the Korean Meteorological Society Fall Meeting in Gyeongju, South Korea, from Oct. 30 ~ Nov. 1. They presented and discussed their latest work on tornados, Antarctic ice-sheet […]
Climate shifts triggered modern humans’ first migrations out of their Southern African homeland
A landmark study pinpoints the birthplace of modern humans in southern Africa and suggests how past climate shifts drove their first migration. A study has concluded that the earliest ancestors […]
Ocean temperatures turbocharge April tornadoes over Great Plains region
New research, published in the journal Science Advances, has found that unusual ocean temperatures in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic can drastically increase April tornado occurrences over the Great Plains […]
Impacts of climate change detectable at vastly different timescales across different ocean processes
The contemporary ocean provides a climate service by absorbing excess heat and carbon from the atmosphere, thereby slowing the pace of rising global temperatures. This service, however, comes with penalty — namely […]
Icebergs delay Southern Hemisphere future warming
New research, published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, has found that Antarctic icebergs can weaken and delay the effect of Global Warming in the Southern Hemisphere. Unabated Global […]
