Dust particle studies in ice cores from the tropical Andes provide important information about climate dynamics. We investigated dust concentrations from a 22.7 m ice-core recovered from the Quelccaya Ice Cap (QIC) in 2018, representing 14 years of snow accumulation. The dust seasonality signal was still preserved with homogenization of the record due to surface melting and percolation. Using a microparticle counter, we measured the dust concentration from 2–60 μm and divided the annual dust ...

The demands of his job keep increasing because of the devastating effects of climate change such as recurrent droughts that are taking a toll on wildlife

The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finds that millions of people and animals have already suffered from the impacts of climate change, a number that will reach into the billions by midcentury unless the world rapidly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

“It's no longer about denying the science because they can't deny it. People can see it, people understand it's happening. So this is one of the troubling new forms of denialism - denial that we have agency,” says Professor Michael Mann, one of the world’s leading climatologists

(2012) Kunkel et al. Journal of Hydrometeorology. Daily extreme precipitation events, exceeding a threshold for a 1-in-5-yr occurrence, were identified from a network of 935 Cooperative Observer stations for the period of 1908-2009. Each event was assigned a meteorological cause, categorized as e...

(2014) Mberego, Gwenzi. Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology. Climatic variability over southern Africa is a well-recognized phenomenon, yet knowledge about the temporal variability of extreme seasons is lacking. This study investigates the intraseasonal progression of extreme seasons o...

(2015) Al Senafi, Anis. International Journal of Climatology. This paper presents key results from analysis of surface meteorological observations collected in the Northern Arabian/Persian Gulf (N Gulf; Kuwait, Bahrain, and NE Saudi Arabia), which spans a 40-years period (1973-2012). The first pa...

Mingfang Ting studies the connection between planetary waves in the atmosphere and climate anomalies, such as droughts and extreme heat.
