Impressive double jet pattern over Eurasia over the past weeks. In our recent Nature Communications paper we show how positive trends in this pattern made Western Europe a #heatwave hotspot. @syn_efou Dim Coumou Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK Columbia Climate School Climate Analytics nature.com/articles/s4146…

New publication! 🎉 Based on analysis of literature and a global assessment of historic cases, we show how drought can affect flood risk. We also assess under which circumstances drought-to-flood interactions can lead to increased or decreased risk. 1/5 …elibrary-wiley-com.vu-nl.idm.oclc.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congrats Grey Nearing and the flood forecasting team at Google with ECMWF for their paper in @nature today on using ai for massive improvements in forecasting accuracy for discharge nature.com/articles/s4158… - I talked with Bloomberg re: why this matters bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Good work and have fun @syn_efou 😀!

For those at #EGU24 - After a year of countless record-breaking extremes, we organize again a session on understanding and quantifying such high-impact climate events and developing storylines for them! ⏰️ Tomorrow, 14:00-18:00, E2 ➡️ High impact events and storylines

📢New paper out with Rei Chemke and myself. For the first time we show that #AGW has caused the weakening of summer circulation, including jetstream and stormtracks. Important implications for summer #drought. IVM - VU Amsterdam VU Faculteit der Bètawetenschappen vu.nl/en/news/2024/s…

Today at #EGU24 Quentin Lejeune presents on the Climate Risk Dashboard: a database of future heat stress in 140 cities ⏰ 08:30-08:40 📍Room F1 Kai Kornhuber presents on the global emergence of regional heatwave hotspots ⏰14:45–14:55 📍Room K2 + many posters! climateanalytics.org/events/egu-2024

Where does it rain? Total rainfall in ERA5 for 1950-2023 Range: 69mm (Sahara) to 2km (Papua)

One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents. Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years. Here my half-hour presentation in Vilnius a week ago!

Fully funded 4-yr PhD position on energy modelling at VUB & VITO, with @sebastiansterl, Ruchi Gupta & I 💡 The project aims to better represent climate extremes in energy planning models and apply them to the African continent 👉Apply now: jobs.vito.be/o/studying-pow…

We can’t show this often enough, until finally people understand. And act.

Excited to share the new episode of spotify’s Wissen Weekly on Extreme Weather to which I was allowed to contribute. “Extreme Weather, the new normal” open.spotify.com/episode/0iG8mk… IIASA LDEO Columbia Climate School

Increasing temperatures cause the humidity of the air to also increase. As the air contains more water, when it rains, it rains more. This 'causal chain' is clearly observed in changes to UK climate, leading to more intense rainfall, increasing the risk of local flooding.

Here is, where we used to have lunch during European Geosciences Union from #EGU05 to #EGU24, talking about heavy precipitation and flooding in a warming climate for nearly two decades...

🚨Job alert🚨 Come and work with Prof Sonia I. Seneviratne , Basil Kraft, me and the land-climate dynamics team the interface between climate science, hydrology, energy research and machine learning 👇 lnkd.in/d_p9CfHr

The Climate Change AI workshop at NeurIPS tomorrow will be livestreamed for free, even if you weren't able to register for NeurIPS (which was oversubscribed this year)!

Thrilled to get the analog, glossy, printed magazine edition of my AMOC review article! You can of course read it open access here: tos.org/oceanography/a…

New study comparing an ensemble of 16 ice-flow models: if we continue with increasing emissions, we'll cause meters of global sea level rise. Up to 7 meters (!) by year 2300. Open acces paper: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
