As scientists, we are acutely aware that our planet’s climate is changing, but the speed and severity of these changes can still surprise us. As global temperatures rise, certain regions become hotspots experiencing more intense and amplified warming. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liège, I have been closely studying amplified warming and marine heatwaves in the North Sea under ...[Read More]

ENSO is characterised by: changes in the temperature of the ocean’s surface in the tropical Pacific Ocean, and by changes in atmospheric circulation in an east-west direction above the Pacific Ocean. Number two in that list is what makes ENS ...[Read More]
