  • [cited] Africa biodiversity and economic growth (news) — A new UNCTAD report, Economic Development in Africa 2024, warns that climate change, agricultural expansion, and resource extraction threaten Africa's biodiversity and, in turn, its economic…
  • Pacific Ocean climate reconstruction from coral (news) — An international team used a 627-year Sr/Ca coral record from Fiji, spanning 1370 to 1997, to reconstruct Pacific Ocean temperatures and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, nearly doubling the…
  • Sea ice cooling power decline (news) — New research led by University of Michigan scientists, using satellite data from 1980 to 2023, finds that sea ice's cooling power is declining about twice as fast in percentage terms as its annual…
  • Ocean circulation and phytoplankton carbon feedback (news) — A study by an MIT researcher finds that weaker ocean overturning circulation could increase atmospheric CO₂ rather than reduce it, contrary to long-held assumptions. Slower circulation cuts nutrient…
  • China's renewable-driven emissions decline (news) — A new analysis finds China's CO₂ emissions fell about 1 percent over the past year, the first time clean power has driven a decline rather than just slowing growth. Rapid wind, solar, and nuclear…
  • El Niño strengthening forecast (news) (needs verification) — NOAA's Climate Prediction Center reports that El Niño strengthened further in September 2026, with sea surface temperature anomalies exceeding +4.0°C in parts of the eastern equatorial Pacific. The…
  • North Atlantic tropical cyclone risk (study) (needs verification) — This study uses the Columbia HAZard model to downscale 12 CMIP6 climate models under a low-emissions (SSP1-2.6) and a high-emissions (SSP5-8.5) scenario to project North Atlantic tropical cyclone…
  • Benchmark for Arctic sea ice forecasting (study) (needs verification) — The authors develop a random analog predictor (RAP), a stochastic variant of the method of analogues that uses only the historical Arctic sea ice extent record to generate ensemble forecasts on…
  • Future Atlantic hurricane rainfall scaling (study) — Convection-permitting WRF simulations of 10 impactful landfalling Atlantic hurricanes, run under historical conditions and a mid-21st century SSP5-8.5 pseudo-global warming scenario, show tropical…
  • Submesoscale negative feedback on marine heatwaves (study) (needs verification) — A submesoscale-permitting global ocean simulation (LLC4320, validated against OISST and GLORYS data) shows that submesoscale vertical heat flux acts as a negative feedback on winter marine heatwaves…
  • Projected extreme sea level in China marginal seas (study) — A 1/12° (~8 km) ROMS regional ocean model forced by ACCESS1-0 under RCP8.5 projects end-of-century (2080–2100) changes in extreme sea level across the China marginal seas relative to 1985–2005. Rises…
  • Heatwave impacts on grid capacity (study) — A new heatwave-aware AC optimal power-flow framework jointly models temperature-dependent demand, generator derating and segment-level transmission-line thermal limits, and it stays computationally…
  • Alaskan permafrost soil DOC stocks (study) — Continuous leaching experiments on 18 Alaskan soil samples show that the share of soil carbon released as dissolved organic carbon (DOC yield) falls with total organic carbon content (y = 5.11×−0.43,…
