Distinct anthropogenic aerosol and greenhouse gas effects on El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability
El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability has conspicuous impacts on ecosystems and extreme weather. Here, we investigate the effects of anthropogenic aerosols and greenhouse gases on ENSO variability during the historical period using a broad set of climate models.
Extreme heatwaves could intensify much more than expected with climate change
It is known that heatwaves become more severe as the climate warms. But a new study led by the University of Graz now shows that the most extreme heat events may intensify much stronger than previously expected.
Predicting Daily CO₂ Emissions with Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models
The recent devastating wildfires in California serve as a reminder of the urgent need for actionable climate solutions. These events, fueled by rising global temperatures and unchecked CO₂ emissions, highlight the importance of understanding and predicting carbon output on a more granular level.
Can Nanomagnetic-Based Cementitious Material Seal Cracked Rocks?
Due to limited resistance to dispersion and inadequate bonding properties exhibited by traditional grouts (cementitious materials), we developed a new material to fill cracks in rocks and improve its bonding strength.
