Aquifers contain the largest store of unfrozen freshwater, making groundwater critical for life on Earth. Surprisingly little is known about how groundwater responds to surface warming across spatial and temporal scales. Focusing on diffusive heat transport, we simulate current and projected groundwater temperatures at the global scale. We show that groundwater at the depth of the water table (excluding permafrost regions) is conservatively projected to warm on average by 2.1 °C betwe...

Concerns have been raised that decarbonisation efforts in Russia, which is the the fourth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, second largest crude oil exporter and world's largest gas exporter, will fall by the wayside because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, write Katja Doos and Alexander Vorbrugg.

The war in Ukraine threatens to turn back the clock on Russia’s climate progress, with some calling on the country to leave the Paris Agreement and roll back environmental regulations.

Mapping Europe’s greener, post-Covid future As European economies emerge from the coronavirus crisis, the next challenge is building climate resilience throughout the continent. ECMWF can provide the climate data, tools, and analysis to make sure these efforts are a success, says Dr Carlo Buontempo, Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service at ECMWF.
