AGATA: Advancing Polar Science through Multi-Instrument Integration and Collaboration

Authored by Lucilla Alfonsi, Wojciech J. Miloch, and Shreedevi P. R., and edited by Liliana Macotella March 11, 2025

Scientific research has long recognized that solar-terrestrial interactions play a crucial role in shaping the polar atmosphere, impacting both climate dynamics and atmospheric coupling across different layers. Understanding these interactions is key to unraveling their far-reaching effects on Earth’s climate, space weather, and global atmospheric processes. The recognition of these critical proce ...[Read More]

The Geography of Multi-Hazards: Exploring Landscapes Prone to Hazard Cascades

Hedieh Soltanpour March 10, 2025

Multi-hazards are “a selection of major hazards that a country faces, and specific contexts where hazards occur simultaneously, cascadingly, and accumulatively considering the interrelationships among them”, based on the UNSDRR definition [7]. Yet, this definition raises two key questions: Where are these specific contexts located, and what characteristics make them susceptible to intersecting haz ...[Read More]

Navigating the polar frontier: exploring the effects of sea-ice decline on shipping and sea routes in the Arctic

Lily Thompson March 7, 2025

Sea ice is a critical part of the unique Arctic ecosystem, but climate change is becoming a serious threat. Warming in the Arctic has already resulted in the loss of over 4 million km² of sea ice. But is it all bad? Retreat of Arctic sea ice is allowing more ships to navigate the Arctic Ocean, along shorter, faster and cheaper sea routes, providing emission reductions of 24%. But will the growth o ...[Read More]
