Arctic Ocean Surface Energy Flux and the Cold Halocline in Future Climate Projections
; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020)
Ocean heat transport is often thought to play a secondary role for Arctic surface warming in part because warm water which flows northward is prevented from reaching the surface by a cold and stable halocline layer. However, ... -
Assessing vertical diffusion in a stratified lake using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model
;; ; ; ; ; (Hydrological Processes, 2019)
Vertical turbulent diffusivity (Kz), which can be estimated from water temperature, is a key factor in the evolution of water quality in lentic waters. In this study, we analysed the capability of a three-dimensional ... -
Changing Salinity Gradients in the Baltic Sea As a Consequence of Altered Freshwater Budgets
; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2019)
Climate change is expected to enhance the hydrological cycle in northern latitudes reducing the salinity in the Baltic Sea, a land-locked marginal sea with a large catchment area located in northern Europe. With the help ... -
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 ... -
Holocene lake‐level evolution of Lake Tiefer See, NE Germany, caused by climate and land cover changes
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Boreas, 2021-11-17)
Lake‐level reconstructions are a key tool in hydro‐climate reconstructions, based on the assumption that lake‐level changes primarily reflect climatic changes. Although it is known that land cover changes can affect ... -
Joint Trends in Flood Magnitudes and Spatial Extents Across Europe
; ; ; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
The magnitudes of river floods in Europe have been observed to change, but their alignment with changes in the spatial coverage or extent of individual floods has not been clear. We analyze flood magnitudes and extents for ... -
Muslims and climate change: How Islam, Muslim organizations, and religious leaders influence climate change perceptions and mitigation activities
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2021-02-24)
A growing body of research stresses the importance of religion in understanding and addressing climate change. However, so far, little is known about the relationship between Muslim communities and climate change. Globally, ... -
Poleward Shift of the Major Ocean Gyres Detected in a Warming Climate
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
Recent evidence shows that wind-driven ocean currents, like the western boundary currents, are strongly affected by global warming. However, due to insufficient observations both on temporal and spatial scales, the impact ... -
Projected Changes in Compound Flood Hazard From Riverine and Coastal Floods in Northwestern Europe
; ; Hasan, Mehedi; ; (Earth's Future, 2020-11-18)
Compound flooding in coastal regions, that is, the simultaneous or successive occurrence of high sea levels and high river flows, is expected to increase in a warmer world. To date, however, there is no robust evidence on ...
