“Europe Faces Increased Heat Mortality in Coming Decades”
CLIMATE ARCHIVE
Deforestation Is Reducing Rainfall in the Amazon
Researchers found that between 2002 and 2015, a 3.2% reduction in Brazilian forest cover led to a 5.4% reduction in precipitation levels.
Scientists Reveal Hidden Heat and Flood Hazards Across Texas
A wider swath of the Lone Star State may be affected by more heat and flood events than previous recordkeeping suggests.
Seaweed Surges May Alter Arctic Fjord Carbon Dynamics
Climate change–accelerated seaweed growth could cause seaweed-dependent microbes to proliferate and consume more oxygen, leading to a rise in oxygen-starved zones.
Revised Emissions Show Higher Cooling in 10th Century Eruption
The associated cooling from the Eldgjá eruption is larger than previously predicted and better matches tree-ring temperature reconstructions based on updated estimated emissions.
New Global River Map Is the First to Include River Bifurcations and Canals
GRIT provides a much more detailed look at how rivers merge and split, which could enhance hydrological modeling, flood forecasting, and water management efforts.
An Ancient Warming Event May Have Lasted Longer Than We Thought
New research on the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum used probabilistic analysis to learn more about its duration and how long modern warming could affect the carbon cycle.
气候变暖正在改变欧亚大陆的干旱状况
研究人员利用树木年轮记录重建水文气候模式，并找出干旱的驱动因素。
Can Desalination Quench Agriculture’s Thirst?
Miles away from the ocean, projects are afoot to clean up salty groundwater and use it to grow crops. Some say it’s a costly pipe dream, others say it’s part of the future.
Old Forests in a New Climate
It’s usually cooler under a forest than outside the forest, but that natural temperature buffering didn’t make global warming any less strong during the last 45 years in an old-growth forest of Oregon.
Resilient Solutions Involve Input and Data from the Community
Data dashboards assist in understanding a community’s vulnerability to climate impacts, but input from the communities themselves helps identify and support actionable solutions.
