Heatwave–blocking relation change likely dominates over decrease in blocking frequency under global warming

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022
Extra-tropical continental summer heatwaves often occur under persistent anticyclones or blocking. Here we partition heatwave changes into contributions from blocking changes, heatwave–blocking relation change and mean temperature increase, under global ...

Tracking Climate and Environmental Attention: A News‐Based Composite Index

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Climate and Environmental Attention Index, a composite indicator that tracks media attention to climate and environmental issues. Based on the Semantic Brand Score, the proposed index extracts significant signals from unstructured text, going beyond traditional measures of word frequency and sentiment.

Precursors of Marine Heatwaves in the Eastern Mediterranean

Geophysical Research Letters
Re‐analysis and observational data are used to identify the relationship between marine heatwaves and atmospheric heatwaves over the Eastern Mediterranean, and also the precursors of marine heatwaves in the 15‐day before heatwave onset.

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

On the mean precipitation characteristics of North American heatwaves

Environmental Research: Water
Precipitation—or a lack thereof—can be both cause and consequence of heatwaves. Whereas most heatwave-precipitation research has emphasized summer heatwaves and extreme precipitation, heatwaves outside of summer are relatively more important for driving ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...
