Long-term variance of heavy precipitation across central Europe using a large ensemble of regional climate model simulations [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2020 Widespread flooding events are among the major natural hazards in central Europe. Such events are usually related to intensive, long-lasting precipitation over larger areas.

Amplified warming of seasonal cold extremes relative to the mean in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2020 Cold extremes are anticipated to warm at a faster rate than both hot extremes and average temperatures for much of the Northern Hemisphere. Anomalously warm cold extremes can affect numerous sectors, including human health, tourism and various ecosystems

Non-linear intensification of Sahel rainfall as a possible dynamic response to future warming [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2017 Projections of the response of Sahel rainfall to future global warming diverge significantly. Meanwhile, paleoclimatic records suggest that Sahel rainfall is capable of abrupt transitions in response to gradual forcing.

Framing hydropower as green energy: assessing drivers, risks and tensions in the Eastern Himalayas [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2015 The culturally and ecologically diverse region of the Eastern Himalayas is the target of ambitious hydropower development plans. Policy discourses at national and international levels position this development as synergistically positive: it combines the

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Aggregates of diketopyrrolopyrrole dipolar and quadrupolar systems exhibit panchromatic absorption spectra extending in the entire visible range. Upon aggregation in water and in the solid state, their fluorescence is almost completely quenched and their singlet excited state lifetime is significantly shortened.

Climate, ocean circulation, and sea level changes under stabilization and overshoot pathways to 1.5 K warming [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2018 The Paris Agreement has initiated a scientific debate on the role that carbon removal – or net negative emissions – might play in achieving less than 1.5 K of global mean surface warming by 2100. Here, we probe the sensitivity of a comprehensive Earth
