Abstract. The global monsoon system is a lifeline for two-thirds of the world's population, as it is essential for tropical water security, food, and agriculture. However, its complex multiscale inter...

Abstract. The mid-Miocene (15.98 to 13.82 Ma) was characterized by substantially warmer temperatures than today and atmospheric CO2 concentrations comparable to near-future projections. Climate models...

Abstract. Extratropical cyclones (ETCs) are an important part of the atmospheric circulation, cause most of the day-to-day weather variability, and have societal impacts through strong winds and heavy...

Abstract. Cosmogenic nuclide surface-exposure dating (SED) is a rapidly growing tool in geoscience owing to its unrivalled potential for directly dating rock surfaces and thus the geomorphic and clima...

Abstract. Over the last 20 000 years, Northern Hemisphere vegetation underwent major shifts in response to orbital changes, rising CO2, and ice sheet retreat. Using the large-scale pollen-based tree c...

Abstract. The current pace of climate change challenges the statistical methods used for bounding heatwave intensities, prompting the need for a physics-based upper bound to extreme surface temperatur...

Abstract. Post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (post-IR IRSL) signals from potassium feldspars are gaining prominence in both luminescence dating and luminescence-based sediment tracing tech...

Abstract. Ice cores contain stratified layers of impurities scavenged from the atmosphere, which are a vital tool for investigating the Earth system. Reconstructing past eruption records by way of ice...

Abstract. Despite intensive research on midlatitude cyclones since the mid-twentieth century, open questions on their structure and development remain, like the question of their core temperature. Few...

Abstract. The alkenone-derived U37K′ proxy is crucial for the reconstruction of past sea surface temperatures in marine sedimentary archives. Recent advances in mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) now all...

Introduction Human-caused climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme weather events around the world, and Europe is no exception. These events typically last from a few days to several week...

Abstract. A two-component study is undertaken of sub-planetary scale flow features associated with the wintertime polar-night vortex at upper-stratospheric levels. First, case studies based upon reana...

Abstract. The Devonian period, spanning from 419 to 359 million years ago, was marked by a warmer-than-present climate and recurring ocean anoxic events, with evidence increasingly suggesting a link b...

Abstract. High-resolution ice core records from the Greenland ice sheet provide critical insights into past climate variability across seasonal to multidecadal timescales. A key proxy in these reconst...

Abstract. Sea-effect snowfall forms frequently over the Baltic Sea in northern Europe. In its bordering countries, large snow accumulations and poor visibility associated with these, often intense, co...

Abstract. The North Atlantic region is a key component of the climate system via large-scale atmosphere and ocean circulation. Climate field reconstructions can provide a long-term context for ongoing...

Dear climate community,   The EGU General Assembly 2026 (3–8 May) is almost here. With more than 21,000 presentations (orals, posters, and PICOs) on the schedule, it is time to plan your week. Before ...

Abstract. The impact of coupling an atmosphere model to a dynamical ocean model, rather than using persistent SST anomalies, is assessed for wintertime medium-range forecasts over the North Pacific an...

Abstract. Studies of the Late Pliocene have frequently been used as a means to improve our understanding of the climate system in a warmer state. Large scale features of Late Pliocene climate, such as...

Abstract. It has been hypothesized that the Earth may have experienced snowball events in the past, during which its surface became completely covered with ice. Previous studies used general circulati...

Abstract. Quantifying the influence of anthropogenic global warming on extreme events requires both physical and statistical understanding. We present a framework combining two complementary condition...

Abstract. The last deglaciation featured abrupt climate shifts driven by interactions among Earth system components, notably retreating ice sheets and meltwater input. While globally detected, the mag...
