The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979

Mika Rantanen, Alexey Yu. Karpechko, Antti Lipponen et al. · 11 Aug 2022

Abstract In recent decades, the warming in the Arctic has been much faster than in the rest of the world, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. Numerous studies report that the Arctic is warming either twice, more than twice, or even three times as fast as the globe on average. Here we show, by using…

Connections of climate change and variability to large and extreme forest fires in southeast Australia

Nerilie J. Abram, Benjamin J. Henley, Alex Sen Gupta et al. · 7 Jan 2021

Abstract The 2019/20 Black Summer bushfire disaster in southeast Australia was unprecedented: the extensive area of forest burnt, the radiative power of the fires, and the extraordinary number of fires that developed into extreme pyroconvective events were all unmatched in the historical record. Australia’s hottest and driest year on record, 2019, was characterised by exceptionally…

Perceived global increase in algal blooms is attributable to intensified monitoring and emerging bloom impacts

Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff, Donald M. Anderson, Catherine Belin et al. · 8 Jun 2021

Global trends in the occurrence, toxicity and risk posed by harmful algal blooms to natural systems, human health and coastal economies are poorly constrained, but are widely thought to be increasing due to climate change and nutrient pollution. Here, we conduct a statistical analysis on a global dataset extracted from the Harmful Algae Event Database…

Dynamic ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet driven by sustained glacier retreat

Michalea D. King, Ian M. Howat, S. G. Candela et al. · 13 Aug 2020

Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at accelerated rates in the 21st century, making it the largest single contributor to rising sea levels. Faster flow of outlet glaciers has substantially contributed to this loss, with the cause of speedup, and potential for future change, uncertain. Here we combine more than three decades of…

Record low Antarctic sea ice coverage indicates a new sea ice state

Ariaan Purich, Edward Doddridge · 13 Sep 2023

Abstract In February 2023, Antarctic sea ice set a record minimum; there have now been three record-breaking low sea ice summers in seven years. Following the summer minimum, circumpolar Antarctic sea ice coverage remained exceptionally low during the autumn and winter advance, leading to the largest negative areal extent anomalies observed over the satellite era.…
