Abstract. Archives of observed weather data present unique opportunities for scientists to obtain long time series of the historical climate for many regions of the world. Unfortunately, most of these...

Empty reservoirs caused disrupted energy supply

Abstract. Fires play an important role in the Earth system but remain complex phenomena that are challenging to model numerically. Here, we present the first version of BuRNN, a data-driven model simu...

Global farming practices are driving heat stress and water strain, VUB researchers warn

This study shows that future exposures to moist-heat increase more rapidly than those to dry-heat, and irrigation can further amplify moist-heat-related health risks. Improving irrigation efficiency a...

Damages such as crevasses or cracks can be early indicators of ice shelf weakening. Here, the authors quantify changes in damage structures in Antarctic ice sheets, which show sensitivity to warming

<p>The European Union’s proposed 'European climate resilience and risk management initiative' aims to set out a comprehensive framework and plan for action to support EU countries, notably on prepared...

Millions of today’s children face unprecedented lifetime exposure to heatwaves, floods, droughts, and storms if global warming reaches 3.5 °C. Deep emission cuts to meet the Paris 1.5 °C goal could pr...

What happens to a child's body when they sit in class during a heatwave and what does this mean for their long-term health?

Abstract. Archives of observed weather data present unique opportunities for scientists to obtain long time series of the historical climate for many regions of the world. Unfortunately, most of these...

Na de uitzonderlijk droge lengte is de angst voor een hete zomer groter dan ooit.

The climate crisis is not a distant threat; it is a pressing reality that children are facing today. Despite having contributed the least to the climate crisis, the inherent intergenerational injustic...

Our findings show that some regions, such as western Europe and North America, will accrue net-zero carbon debt as soon as 2030.

What is a fair way forward after the 1.5°C warming limit of the Paris Agreement has been breached? In a new study, an international team...

While volcanic forcing uncertainty is typically ignored in climate projections, it can represent up to 49% of the total climate uncertainty and systematically exceed internal variability uncertainty, ...
