New work with Dimitr Kalashnikov, Deepti Singh (@climatechirper.bsky.social) and Mingfang Ting! We demonstrate that record low soil moisture and global warming were major contributors to a record breaking heatwave in Mexico+Texas in 2023 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Can we use paleo for detection and attribution of drought without a climate model? Yes! New work led by @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, with me and some old guy. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

1/n Please see our new paper in Nature Communications! We used 1,851 tree-ring fire-scar sites and contemporary fire perimeters to quantify the prevalence of wildfire from 1600-1880 compared to 1984-2022. 🧪🌍🔥 Our key findings are as follows ...

Does global warming lead to more winder cold extremes? Probably not, but this question made me realize we don't have a good fundamental theory for mid-latitude temperature distributions and how they will change. So I'm unreasonably giddy for this paper (my student Keiko's first) to come out: 1/

New work suggests much of North and South America were drier during the mid-Pliocene, last period in the pre-industrial with CO2 levels similar to today <<insert hmm face emoji here>> from Tierney et al: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Great NYC job for new grads interested in climate and hazards - and they want people to code in Matlab??? Parametric insurance is triggered by an event, often used to improve insurance access.

For my first scientific post here, I want to talk about the Phanerozoic temperature record we published last Fall, which unfortunately has been making rounds in the climate denier circuit 👀 First though hopefully you can appreciate the beauty of this reconstruction ✨...

High CO2 is expected to boost runoff via plant responses, but our results challenge this. Conditioning plant-driven runoff changes on plant-forced precipitation changes, we find runoff declines are as common as increases, with CO2-driven runoff boosts over just 5% of land: shorturl.at/4zM7N

As the climate data for 2024 continues to arrive, I've updated my graphic showing changes in various climate indicators for the recent past, and the last 2000 years. Most notable change is a big jump for tropospheric temperatures (TLT) in 2024. [Sea level and land humidity data not yet available.]
