Two Flavours of Ocean Temperature Change and the Implication for Reconstructing the History of Ocean Warming
Introducing Excess and Redistributed Temperatures. By: Quran Wu Monitoring and understanding ocean heat content change is an essential task of climate science because the ocean stores over 90% of extra heat that is trapped in the Earth system. Ocean warming … Continue reading

Including Human Behaviour in Models to Understand the Impact of Climate Change on People
By Megan McGrory In 2020 56% of the global population lived in cities and towns, and they accounted for two-thirds of global energy consumption and over 70% of CO2 emissions. The share of the global population living in urban areas … Continue reading
Tiny Particles, Big Impact?
By Laura Wilcox Aerosols are tiny particles or liquid droplets suspended in the atmosphere. They can be created by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels or clearing land, or have natural sources, such as volcanoes. Depending on their composition, … Continue reading

Oceanic Influences On Arctic And Antarctic Sea Ice
By: Jake Aylmer The futures of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice are difficult to pin down in part due to climate model uncertainty. Recent work reveals different ocean behaviours that have a critical impact on sea ice, highlighting a potential … Continue reading

Monitoring Climate Change From Space
Richard Allan It’s never been more crucial to undertake a full medical check-up for planet Earth, and satellite instruments provide an essential technological tool for monitoring the pace of climate change, the driving forces and the impacts on societies and … Continue reading

How would climate-change science look if it was structured “as if people mattered”?
By Ted Shepherd The scientific understanding of climate change is represented by the Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), most recently its Sixth Assessment Report. IPCC Working Groups II and III deal respectively with adaptation and … Continue reading

What Is The World Climate Research Programme And Why Do We Need It?
By: Rowan Sutton My schedule last week was rather awry. Over four days I took part in a meeting of 50 or so climate scientists from around the world. Because of the need to span multiple time zones, the session … Continue reading

Are There Climate Consequences of Using Hydrogen as a Replacement for Coal, Gas and Oil?
By: Keith Shine There are many possible avenues to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. One of these is a shift to using hydrogen (H2) as a fuel source; it could potentially be used for many current CO2-emitting activities, including industry, heating … Continue reading
Fieldwork Without The Footprint
By: Joy Singarayer Over the past two years, we have all faced challenges to our working patterns due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Researchers undertaking overseas fieldwork have found many ways to redefine, reschedule, and adapt their approaches in light of … Continue reading
Has The Atlantic Ocean Circulation Been In Long-term Decline?
By: Jon Robson A number of recent high-profile studies have strongly suggested that an important part of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation – the AMOC – has declined and that it is edging closer to a tipping point. Such a … Continue reading
