Projecting future forest microclimate using a land surface model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The forest understory experiences temperature variations that are dampened compared to adjacent open areas, allowing the development of a forest microclimate and associated ecological conditions. It is however unclear to ... -
Protecting Child Health From Air Pollution in India
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Exposure to criteria pollutants such as fine particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) results in various health issues, encompassing morbidity and mortality related ... -
Public Attitudes Toward Climate Policies: The Effect of Institutional Contexts and Political Values
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018) -
Public Health Measures to Address the Impact of Climate Change on Population Health—Proceedings from a Stakeholder Workshop
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: The World Health Organization identified climate change as the 21st century’s biggest health threat. This study aimed to identify the current knowledge base, evidence gaps, and implications for climate action ... -
Public support for air travel restrictions to address COVID-19 or climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)An improved understanding of public support is essential to design effective and feasible climate policies for aviation. Our motivation is the contrast between high support for air travel restrictions responding to the ... -
Quantification of hydraulic trait control on plant hydrodynamics and risk of hydraulic failure within a demographic structured vegetation model in a tropical forest (FATES-HYDRO V1.0)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vegetation plays a key role in the global carbon cycle and thus is an important component within Earth system models (ESMs) that project future climate. Many ESMs are adopting methods to resolve plant size and ecosystem ... -
Quantitative analysis of age pattern of household consumption in urban and rural China
(Journal article, 2015) -
Radiative forcing bias of simulated surface albedo modifications linked to forest cover changes at northern latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015) -
Radiative forcing in the ACCMIP historical and future climate simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP) examined the short-lived drivers of climate change in current climate models. Here we evaluate the 10 ACCMIP models that included aerosols, 8 of ... -
Radiative forcing of climate change from the Copernicus reanalysis of atmospheric composition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Radiative forcing provides an important basis for understanding and predicting global climate changes, but its quantification has historically been done independently for different forcing agents, has involved observations ... -
Radiative forcing of the direct aerosol effect from AeroCom Phase II simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We report on the AeroCom Phase II direct aerosol effect (DAE) experiment where 16 detailed global aerosol models have been used to simulate the changes in the aerosol distribution over the industrial era. All 16 models ... -
Rapidly evolving aerosol emissions are a dangerous omission from near-term climate risk assessments
(Journal article, 2023)Anthropogenic aerosol emissions are expected to change rapidly over the coming decades, driving strong, spatially complex trends in temperature, hydroclimate, and extreme events both near and far from emission sources. ... -
Reaching peak emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Rapid growth in global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and industry ceased in the past two years, despite continued economic growth. Decreased coal use in China was largely responsible, coupled with slower global growth ... -
Recent reductions in aerosol emissions have increased Earth’s energy imbalance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The Earth’s energy imbalance is the net radiative flux at the top-of-atmosphere. Climate model simulations suggest that the observed positive imbalance trend in the previous two decades is inconsistent with internal ... -
Recommendations for diagnosing effective radiative forcing from climate models for CMIP6
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The usefulness of previous Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) exercises has been hampered by a lack of radiative forcing information. This has made it difficult to understand reasons for differences between model ... -
Reduced carbon emission estimates from fossil fuel combustion and cement production in China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)early three-quarters of the growth in global carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement production between 2010 and 2012 occurred in China1, 2. Yet estimates of Chinese emissions remain subject to large ... -
Reduced Complexity Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2: Synthesizing Earth System Knowledge for Probabilistic Climate Projections
(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 ... -
Reducing the aerosol forcing uncertainty using observational constraints on warm rain processes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Global climate models (GCMs) disagree with other lines of evidence on the rapid adjustments of cloud cover and liquid water path to anthropogenic aerosols. Attempts to use observations to constrain the parameterizations ... -
Reducing uncertainties in decadal variability of the global carbon budget with multiple datasets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Conventional calculations of the global carbon budget infer the land sink as a residual between emissions, atmospheric accumulation, and the ocean sink. Thus, the land sink accumulates the errors from the other flux terms ...
