Heatwave Predictions Months in Advance With Machine Learning: A New Study Delivers Improved Accuracy and Efficiency
With heatwaves among Europe’s deadliest climate hazards, a team of scientists led by CMCC has developed a prediction system capable of providing helpful information 4 to 7 weeks before summer, which gives valuable time to improve preparedness.
Island Reptiles Face Extinction Before They Are Even Studied, Warns New Global Review
Although islands make up less than 7% of the Earth’s surface, they harbour a disproportionate share of the planet’s biodiversity.
Climate Change Expands Wildfire Danger Worldwide: New Study Warns of Unprecedented Risks in the Coming Decades
A new study, led by CMCC and Coventry University, reveals that climate change will dramatically expand wildfire danger across the globe, with up to 91% of fire-prone regions experiencing heightened risk by the end of this century.
Climate Change Could Result in Contaminant Spread in the High Arctic, McGill Study Finds
Warming temperatures and increased precipitation in the Canadian High Arctic are mobilizing new pathways for subsurface contaminants to spread from more than 2,500 contaminated sites associated with industrial and military sites across the region.
Where Does Continental Material on Islands Come From?
Many oceanic islands far from active plate tectonic boundaries contain materials that clearly originate from continents, even though they are located in the middle of an oceanic plate.
