Climate Change and Weather Extremes in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East
(Reviews of Geophysics, 2022-07-11)Observation‐based and modeling studies have identified the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region as a prominent climate change hotspot. While several initiatives have addressed the impacts of climate change ... -
Climate Change Can Accelerate Depletion of Montane Grassland C Stocks
(Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2021-10-08)Climate warming and management will likely affect carbon (C) fluxes of montane grassland ecosystems. In this study, we assessed the effect of simultaneous warming (+2°C) and decreased precipitation (−25%) on carbon exchange ... -
Climate Change Feedbacks in Aquaplanet Experiments With Explicit and Parametrized Convection for Horizontal Resolutions of 2,525 Up to 5 km
(Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019)Earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is the long-term response to doubled atmospheric CO2 and likely between 1.5 and 4.5 K. Conventional general circulation models do not convincingly narrow down this range, and ... -
Climate change impacts on agriculture's southern frontier – Perspectives for farming in North Patagonia
(International Journal of Climatology, 2020)Winter chill is expected to decrease in many of the suitable growing regions for deciduous trees. Argentinean North Patagonia hosts extensive fruit tree cultivation, which provides an important contribution to both local ... -
Climate change impacts on potential maize yields in Gambella Region, Ethiopia
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-05-25)Changing climate conditions are supposed to have particularly strong impacts on agricultural production in the tropics with strong implications on food security. Ethiopia’s economy is profoundly dominated by agriculture, ... -
Climate change literacy and migration potential: micro-level evidence from Africa
(Climatic Change, 2021-11-06)While a growing literature studies the effects of climate change on international migration, still only relatively little is known about the individual mechanisms linking migration decisions to climate change. We argue ... -
Climate change vulnerability, water resources and social implications in North Africa
(Regional Environmental Change, 2020-06-30)North Africa is considered a climate change hot spot. Existing studies either focus on the physical aspects of climate change or discuss the social ones. The present article aims to address this divide by assessing and ... -
Climate change, ecosystem services and migration in the Marshall Islands: are they related?
(Climatic Change, 2020-04-10)As one of the lowest-lying island nation states in the world, the Republic of the Marshall Islands is vulnerable to sea level rise, flooding and the associated impacts on soil and water salinity. Persistent drought is ... -
Climate Change, Pollution, Deforestation, and Mental Health: Research Trends, Gaps, and Ethical Considerations
(GeoHealth, 2022-11-01)Climate change, pollution, and deforestation have a negative impact on global mental health. There is an environmental justice dimension to this challenge as wealthy people and high‐income countries are major contributors ... -
Climate change—that is not real! A comparative analysis of climate-sceptic think tanks in the USA and Germany
(Climatic Change, 2021-01-24)The science is clear: climate change is real. In 2015, 195 countries adopted the global climate deal in Paris. Nonetheless, numerous well-organized conservative think tanks (CTTs) deny that climate change is happening. We ... -
Climate effects on vegetation vitality at the treeline of boreal forests of Mongolia
(Biogeosciences, 2018)In northern Mongolia, at the southern boundary of the Siberian boreal forest belt, the distribution of steppe and forest is generally linked to climate and topography, making this region highly sensitive to climate change ... -
Climate humanitarian visa: international migration opportunities as post-disaster humanitarian intervention
(Climatic Change, 2020-03-25)With global action being outpaced by climate change impacts, communities in climate-vulnerable countries are at increased risk of incurring climate-induced losses and damages. In the last few years, disasters from extreme ... -
Climate Impact Comparison of Electric and Gas‐Powered End‐User Appliances
(Earth's Future, 2023-02-01)Natural gas is considered a bridging technology in the energy transition because it produces fewer carbon emissions than coal, for example. However, when leaks exist, methane is released into the atmosphere, leading to a ... -
Climates of democracy: Skeptical, rational, and radical imaginaries
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2022-04-21)How will the theories and practices of democracy fare in a climate changing world? Are conventional democratic institutions ultimately doomed or are they able to become more responsive to a changing climate? Is there a ... -
Climatic and Biotic Controls on Topographic Asymmetry at the Global Scale
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021-01-23)Insolation differences play a primary role in controlling microclimate and vegetation cover, which together influence the development of topography. Topographic asymmetry (TA), or slope differences between terrain aspects, ... -
Climatic and environmental changes in the Yana Highlands of north‐eastern Siberia over the last c. 57 000 years, derived from a sediment core from Lake Emanda
(Boreas, 2020-11-13)The sediment succession of Lake Emanda in the Yana Highlands was investigated to reconstruct the regional late Quaternary climate and environmental history. Hydro‐acoustic data obtained during a field campaign in 2017 show ... -
Climato-stratigraphic subdivision of the Pleistocene in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and adjoining areas
(E&G – Quaternary Science Journal; Vol.63)In Schleswig-Holstein detailed petrographical and palynological studies were undertaken with samples from exposures and core drillings examined over the last four decades. Analyses of the gravel fraction and ‘indicator ... -
Climato-stratigraphic subdivision of the Pleistocene in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and adjoining areas
(E&G – Quaternary Science Journal; Vol.63)In Schleswig-Holstein wurden in den zurückliegenden vier Jahrzehnten detaillierte Untersuchungen an Probenmaterial aus Aufschlüssen und Kernbohrungen durchgeführt. Analysen der Kiesfraktion und von ‚Leitgeschieben‘ aus ... -
Clockwise hysteresis of diatoms in response to nutrient dynamics during eutrophication and recovery
(Limnology and Oceanography, 2022-07-28)Many lake ecosystems that have been severely disturbed by eutrophication, have also experienced large human efforts to restore “natural” conditions. However, the trajectories and the extent of recovery of these lake ... -
