A new study demonstrates that climate change will cause the temperature in the Antarctic Peninsula to increase by 0.5°C to 1.5°C by 2044. The study involved an analysis of historic and predicted simulations from 19 global climate models.
Flash-flood phenomena found Despite being located in one of the driest regions of the world—the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile—the usually dry Copiapó River has flooded several times during the 19th and 20th centuries. Sedimentary deposits from the 2017 floods are shown here. The 2015 Atacama floods, analyzed in this paper, were among the worst ever recorded in the region, killing 178 people.

However, a variety of different weather systems can cause these extreme events, so a detailed understanding of the atmospheric processes that lead to their formatio...
Follow Mar. 9, 2021 Who doesn’t want a home with a view of the sea? Well, unless the waves are washing around your living room. Flooding is an intensifying problem in some parts as climate change bites down, and not only on low-lying coasts. But the coasts are a good place to start worrying because a rising sea level can no longer be prevented. The amount of carbon dioxide we have already added to the atmosphere makes more temperature increases inevitable, based on historical climate patterns, and rising temperatures in turn make a further rise in sea levels unavoidable. The only question i...
