Excited to share my latest paper in @natureportfolio.nature.com Natural Hazards!

Our study shows that ~80% of flood events along U.S. East & Gulf coasts are compound, driven by multiple drivers. These events result in median property losses 26× and crop losses 76× higher than single-driver floods.

Excited to share our latest paper on transdisciplinary research for clean & resilient energy systems in socially vulnerable communities!

We analyze how climate-induced extreme weather impacts energy infrastructure & propose solutions for equitable solar+storage integration.

🆕 study led by PIK scientists identifies the causal links behind the increase in hot and dry extremes in Central Europe. The influence of dry soil on temperature rose by 67%, while the impact of atmospheric drivers on soil moisture has intensified by 50%: www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

Understanding the mechanisms and atmospheric drivers that contribute to hot and dry compound extremes in Europe it’s a challenge that here we tackle with a causal discovery method. Great experience for me personally to work with this talented team of early career scientists

I often show my students this visualization of how atmospheric CO₂ travels around the globe. Our attitude toward burning fossil fuels would change significantly if we could actually see CO₂.

Methane is an important contributor to global warming, and cutting methane emissions could be a way to rapidly reduce global temperatures.

But it’s CO2 that’s been the primary driver of recent - and future - warming:

Hi all, the starter pack below has been significantly updated now, and I will continue to update it further, whenever time allows.

Once this starter pack is full (Bluesky currently allows only up to 150 people per starter pack), I will start another one and call it - Part 2.
