Does fire limit tropical tree cover?
What happens when we remove fire from the tropics? Our study reveals the surprising impact fire has on tropical tree cover—and why it’s more complex than we thought.
Reduced aerosol transport from South Asia to the Tibetan Plateau following the January 2021 sudden stratospheric warming event
This study, for the first time, examined the impact of the sudden stratospheric warming in January 2021 on the transboundary transport of aerosols from South Asia to the TP from the stratospheric dimension.
Looking for the origin of one of the largest Mediterranean tsunamigenic earthquakes : Amorgos, July 9th, 1956, Greece.
In the past few years, marine geologists have new eyes to capture seafloor in detail! Different types of deep-sea vehicles can now map the sea bed, at resolutions never reached before, and in particular with new imaging techniques. And this is the starting point of the story behind our paper.
Indonesia Climate Change Litigation
Indonesia contributes to greenhouse gas emissions but is also vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, when I read reports indicating that there are very few climate change litigation cases in the country, I find myself unconvinced.
Atmospheric rivers and the upper ocean
Using an eddy-resolving ocean coupled to a high resolution atmosphere, we find that atmospheric rivers significantly influence upper ocean processes, and the nature of these impacts change as the climate warms.
