In this spirit of rigorous worldbuilding, we just published a new study where we merged the disparate disciplines of literary worldbuilding and climate modelling. We used complex computer programs – ...
The Miocene, beginning approximately 23 million years ago, represents a canonical "warm-Earth" interval characterized by elevated atmospheric CO2 and a warmer global climate. The El Niño–Southern ...
A renowned research and modeling organization's most recent forecast shows the planet could see a strong or "Super El Nino" ...
When it comes to world building, some authors really put the effort in. In a new study, climate scientists attempted to model the environments of Westeros and Middle Earth – from A Song of Ice and ...

Are climate models detecting monsoon changes a decade too early? 'Super-simulations' say yes
Changes in rainfall within global monsoon regions affect the livelihoods of billions. For years, climate models have suggested that the fingerprint of human-caused climate change on monsoons would ...
Northern wildfires may be more dangerous for the climate than they appear. Researchers found that fires in boreal forests can burn deep into peat soils, releasing ancient carbon stored for hundreds or ...
In the study, researchers compared two such parameterizations: one developed by Fox-Kemper in 2011 and another developed in 2023 by co-author Abigail Bodner ScM’20 PhD’21, assistant professor of Earth ...

Forecast models raise odds of a strong El Niño later this year
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center released its latest ENSO Diagnostic Discussion on March 12, noting a transition from La Niña conditions and increasing odds that El Niño will develop later this year.
Australia’s science agency is cutting more than 100 jobs in its Environment Research Unit, which critics say will crush our capacity to predict climate change.
This is double-edged and already in motion. India’s development context makes the trade-off sharper. It can be viewed as a structural convergence between compute growth and climate risk. India does ...
The world’s largest climate modeling initiative is quietly ramping up its next project, but U.S. participation is a wild card ...
Scientists within the organization have expressed concerns that the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) model will face severe cuts (The Age). ACCESS “provides a national ...
