State-dependence of climate sensitivity: attractor constraints and palaeoclimate regimes [PDF]
Dyn Stat Clim Syst (2016) 1 (1): dzx001, 2016 Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is a key predictor of climate change. However, it is not very well constrained, either by climate models or by observational data. The reasons for this include strong internal variability and forcing on many time scales. In practise this means that the 'equilibrium' will only be relative to fixing the slow feedback

Uncertainty in climate science and climate policy [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 This essay, written by a statistician and a climate scientist, describes our view of the gap that exists between current practice in mainstream climate science, and the practical needs of policymakers charged with exploring possible interventions in the context of climate change.

The Climate in Climate Economics [PDF]
Review of Economic Studies, 2021 Abstract To analyse climate change mitigation strategies, economists rely on simplified climate models—so-called climate emulators—that provide a realistic quantitative link between CO2 emissions and global warming at low computational costs.

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Drought events are influenced by a combination of both climatic and local catchment characteristics. In Great Britain the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has long been recognised as the leading mode of climate variability, and studies have also noted ...

Climate and climate change [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 The Earth's climate system at fine spatial and temporal scales is chaotic, with evolving weather patterns often notoriously difficult to predict very far in advance. At regional scales, surface conditions are modulated by seasonal to decadal oscillations in surface temperature, precipitation, sea-ice extent, and ocean upwelling.

Urban Climates and Climate Change [PDF]
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2020 Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to increase with climate change. Cities also influence their own local climate, for example, through the relative warming known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This review discusses urban climate features (even in complex terrain) and processes.

Faustmann and the Climate [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014 Abstract The paper presents an adjusted Faustmann Rule for optimal harvest of a forest when there is a social cost of carbon emissions. The theoretical framework takes account of the dynamics and interactions of forests’ multiple carbon pools and assumes an infinite time horizon. Our paper provides a theoretical foundation for numerical model studies

Hurricanes Increase Climate Change Conversations on Twitter [PDF]
PLOS Climate 2(11): e0000277, 2023, 2023 The public understanding of climate change plays a critical role in translating climate science into climate action. In the public discourse, climate impacts are often discussed in the context of extreme weather events. Here, we analyse 65 million Twitter posts and 240 thousand news media articles related to 18 major hurricanes from 2010 to 2022 to ...

The Domaša Reservoir in the Spectrum of Climate Change
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2021 The importance of water reservoirs in the uneven distribution of discharges over time and space does not need to be explicitly justified. There is a more than 6,000-year history of convincing evidence.
