Hurricane Harvey links to ocean heat content and climate change adaptation
While hurricanes occur naturally, human-caused climate change is supercharging them and exacerbating the risk of major damage. Here using ocean and atmosphere observations, we...- publication PDF

The footprint of the Inter-decadal Pacific Oscillation in Indian Ocean sea...
Superimposed on a pronounced warming trend, the Indian Ocean (IO) sea surface temperatures (SSTs) also show considerable decadal variations that can cause regional climate...- publication PDF

The co-benefits of a low-carbon future for PM
There is considerable academic interest in the potential for air quality improvement as a co-benefit of climate change mitigation. Few studies use regional air quality models...- publication PDF

Improved estimates of ocean heat content from 1960 to 2015
Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) drives the ongoing global warming and can best be assessed across the historical record (that is, since 1960) from ocean heat content (OHC)...- publication PDF
