Group Picture taken during the first meeting of the COST Action Future Med in Bruxelles on October 6th 2023

The Mediterranean region stands as a poignant testament to the far-reaching impacts of climate change. From extreme weather events to rising sea levels and increased pollution, the consequences of global warming are acutely felt. In this climate change hotspot, the interconnection of risks creates a complex web that affects ecosystems, economic activities, and human health. Recognizing the need fo ...[Read More]

Earth System Dynamics (ESD) is an open-access EGU journal focussing on an interdisciplinary view of the functioning of the Earth system and global change. Due its broad focus, ESD receives submissions of relevance to several different EGU divisions. Here, I would like to highlight five thought-provoking ESD papers that cover topics spanning environmental governance, extreme events, palaeo-climates ...[Read More]

ClimaMeter: Putting Extreme Weather in Climate Perspective

ClimaMeter offers a dynamic approach to contextualize and analyze weather extremes within a climate context. This framework provides both easily understandable immediate contextualization of extreme weather events as well as more in-depth technical analysis shortly after the events. Methodology: The foundation of ClimaMeter’s methodology lies in identifying weather conditions similar to those resp ...[Read More]

Persistent atmospheric circulation patterns are not a necessary requirement for warm temperature extremes in Europe. This key finding from a recent study led by Emma Holmberg challenges a more traditional meteorological view of persistence, which typically considers summertime heatwaves, especially in northern regions of Europe, to be synonymous with persistent atmospheric flow patterns. Furthermo ...[Read More]
