Water scarcity has become a major constraint to socio-economic development and a threat to livelihood in increasing parts of the world. Since the late 1980s, water scarcity research has attracted much political and public attention. We here review a variety of indicators that have been developed to capture different characteristics of water scarcity. Population, water…

Observed Impacts of Anthropogenic Climate Change on Wildfire in California

Park Williams, John T. Abatzoglou, Alexander Gershunov et al. · 15 Jul 2019

Abstract Recent fire seasons have fueled intense speculation regarding the effect of anthropogenic climate change on wildfire in western North America and especially in California. During 1972–2018, California experienced a fivefold increase in annual burned area, mainly due to more than an eightfold increase in summer forest‐fire extent. Increased summer forest‐fire area very likely occurred…

Global warming releases microplastic legacy frozen in Arctic Sea ice

R. W. Obbard, Saeed Sadri, Ying Qi Wong et al. · 20 May 2014

Abstract When sea ice forms it scavenges and concentrates particulates from the water column, which then become trapped until the ice melts. In recent years, melting has led to record lows in Arctic Sea ice extent, the most recent in September 2012. Global climate models, such as that of Gregory et al. (2002), suggest that…

Twenty‐First Century Drought Projections in the CMIP6 Forcing Scenarios

Benjamin I. Cook, Justin Mankin, Kate Marvel et al. · 19 Apr 2020

Abstract There is strong evidence that climate change will increase drought risk and severity, but these conclusions depend on the regions, seasons, and drought metrics being considered. We analyze changes in drought across the hydrologic cycle (precipitation, soil moisture, and runoff) in projections from Phase Six of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The multimodel…
