• Changes in Land Cover and Management Affect Heat Stress and Labor Capacity 

      Orlov, Anton; De Hertog, Steven; Havermann, Felix; Guo, Suqi; Luo, Fei; Manola, Iris; Thiery, Wim; Lejeune, Quentin; Pongratz, Julia; Humpenöder, Florian; Windisch, Michael; Nath, Shruti; Popp, Alexander; Schleussner, Carl-Friedrich (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Global warming is expected to exacerbate heat stress. Additionally, biogeophysical effects of land cover and land management changes (LCLMC) could substantially alter temperature and relative humidity locally and non-locally. ...
    • The Climatic Impact-Driver Framework for Assessment of Risk-Relevant Climate Information 

      Ruane, Alex C.; Vautard, Robert; Ranasinghe, Roshanka; Sillmann, Jana; Coppola, Erika; Arnell, Nigel; Cruz, Faye Abigail; Dessai, Suraje; Iles, Carley Elizabeth; Islam, A. K. M.

      The climate science and applications communities need a broad and demand-driven concept to assess physical climate conditions that are relevant for impacts on human and natural systems. Here, we augment the description of ...
    • Heat Stress Indicators in CMIP6: Estimating Future Trends and Exceedances of Impact-Relevant Thresholds 

      Schwingshackl, Clemens; Sillmann, Jana; Vicedo-Cabrera, Ana; Sandstad, Marit; Aunan, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Global warming is leading to increased heat stress in many regions around the world. An extensive number of heat stress indicators (HSIs) has been developed to measure the associated impacts on human health. Here we ...
    • Reduced Complexity Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2: Synthesizing Earth System Knowledge for Probabilistic Climate Projections 

      Nicholls, Z.; Meinshausen, Malte; Lewis, J.; Corradi, M. Rojas; Dorheim, K.; Gasser, Thomas; Gieseke, R.; Hope, A.P.; Leach, N.J.; McBride, L.A.; Quilcaille, Y.; Rogelj, Joeri; Salawitch, Ross J.; Samset, B.H.; Sandstad, Marit; Shiklomanov, A.; Skeie, Ragnhild Bieltvedt; Smith, Christopher J.; Smith, Steven J.; Su, X.; Tsutsui, J.; Vega-Westhoff, B.; Woodard, D.L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Over the last decades, climate science has evolved rapidly across multiple expert domains. Our best tools to capture state-of-the-art knowledge in an internally self-consistent modeling framework are the increasingly complex ...
