A new, ~4500‐year varve record and high‐resolution tephrochronology from lake Hämälänlampi, eastern Finland, provides age constraints for the Furnas C and the Glen Garry/Askja A‐2000 eruptions

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The northern European distal cryptotephra framework is constantly developing both in terms of identification of new tephra horizons and improved age constraints for the already well‐established tephra marker horizons. However, many prehistoric tephra layers have only been dated by the radiocarbon method, with its inherent problems.

Diagnosing the 11‐year solar cycle's influence on the East Atlantic pattern

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A previously unidentified solar‐cycle response in the East Atlantic pattern is found in late winter at lag +3 years with larger amplitude than the NAO response. A statistically significant NAO response to the solar cycle is seen in late winter at lag 0 years.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

A retrospective on the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was intermittent, with extended quiet periods separated by three clusters of activity. The broad‐scale conditions were often unfavourable for cyclogenesis and common drivers of activity such as La Niña were weak, but well above‐average sea temperatures still supported intense storms.

Reassessing sixteenth and seventeenth century written accounts of hurricanes in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
Abstract While the North Atlantic’s five‐century hurricane history is among the most complete globally, the earliest centuries are poorly documented in the written record. This study reassesses a subset of sixteenth to seventeenth‐century tropical cyclones (TCs) through a systematic review of archival evidence, mainly from Spain’s colonial archive, the
