Eastern Africa exhibits bimodal rainfall consisting of long rains (March–May) and short rains
(October–December), changes in which have profound socioeconomic and environmental …

One of the most prominent climate tipping elements is the Atlantic meridional overturning
circulation (AMOC), which can potentially collapse because of the input of fresh water in the …

Viral respiratory infections (VRIs) cause seasonal epidemics and pandemics, with their
transmission influenced by climate conditions. Despite the risks posed by novel VRIs, the …

There is considerable uncertainty surrounding future changes in tropical cyclone (TC)
frequency and intensity, particularly at local scales. This uncertainty complicates risk …

With the unprecedented rate of global warming in recent decades, whether or not
anthropogenic climate change is irreversible is an important question. Based on idealized …

Future projections of precipitation are uncertain, hampering effective climate adaptation
strategies globally. Our understanding of changes across multiple climate model simulations …

Climate warming is intensifying the global water cycle, including the rate of fresh water flux
between the atmosphere and the surface, determined by precipitation minus evaporation …

Dryland expansion causes widespread water scarcity and biodiversity loss. Although the
drying influence of global warming is well established, the role of existing drylands in their …

Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering has been proposed as a potential solution to reduce
climate change and its impacts. Here, we explore the responses of the Hadley circulation …

Tropical cyclone risks are expected to increase with climate change. One such risk is
extreme ocean waves generated by surface winds from these systems. We use synthetic …
