Palin, Erika J. (author), Stipanovic Oslakovic, Irina (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Quinn, Andrew (author)Weather phenomena can result in severe impacts on railway infrastructure. In future, projected changes to the frequency and/or intensity of extreme weather events could change weather–infrastructure risk profiles. Infrastructure owners and operators need to manage current weather impacts and put in place adequate plans to anticipate and adapt...review 2021

Wang, Shuai (author), Toumi, Ralf (author), Ye, Qinghua (author), Ke, Q. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Tian, Zhan (author), Sun, Laixiang (author)It has been shown that the proportion of intense tropical cyclones (TCs) has been increasing together with a poleward migration of TC track. However, their relative importance to TC surge at landfall remains unknown. Here we examine the sensitivity of TC surge in Shanghai to landfall location and intensity with a new dynamical modelling...journal article 2021

Khait, M. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author)Alternative to CPU computing architectures, such as GPU, continue to evolve increasing the gap in peak memory bandwidth achievable on a conventional workstation or laptop. Such architectures are attractive for reservoir simulation, which performance is generally bounded by system memory bandwidth. However, to harvest the benefit of a new...conference paper 2021

Steiniger, Fabian (author), Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Deppenmeier, Uwe (author)The recently isolated methanogen Methanonatronarchaeum thermophilum is an extremely haloalkaliphilic and moderately thermophilic archaeon and belongs to the novel class Methanonatronarchaeia in the phylum Halobacteriota. The knowledge about the physiology and biochemistry of members of the class Methanonatronarchaeia is still limited. It is...journal article 2021

Richie, C.S. (author)This article will explore the academic responsibility of Evangelical bioethicists to address climate change related health hazards. First, it will provide evidence-based data on climate change related health hazards, which disproportionately affect the poor and vulnerable worldwide, and as such are a form of environmental racism. Second, it will...journal article 2020

(author), de Vette, Kees (author), von der Tann, Loretta (author), Durand Lopez, Leyden (author)By jointly approaching the challenges we face – such as ongoing urbanization, climate change, energy transition and the introduction of new mobility such as automated and electric vehicles – urban areas can be made more resilient. The<br/>subsurface of the city can play a central role in this, for instance by using space made available by a...report 2020

Zekollari, H. (author), Huss, Matthias (author), Farinotti, Daniel (author)Glaciers in the European Alps rapidly lose mass to adapt to changes in climate conditions. Here, we investigate the relationship and lag between climate forcing and geometric glacier response with a regional glacier evolution model accounting for ice dynamics. The volume loss occurring as a result of the glacier-climate imbalance increased...journal article 2020

Noorbergen, Lars J. (author), Turtu, Antonio (author), Kuiper, Klaudia F. (author), Kasse, Cornelis (author), van Ginneken, Sverre (author), Dekkers, Mark J. (author), Krijgsman, Wout (author), Abels, H.A. (author), Hilgen, Frederik J. (author)Aggradation and fluvial incision controlled by downstream base-level changes at timescales of 10 to 500 kyr is incorporated in classic sequence stratigraphic models. However, upstream climate control on sediment supply and discharge variability causes fluvial incision and aggradation as well. Orbital forcing often regulates climate change at...journal article 2020

(author)The world’s coastal areas are increasingly at risk of coastal flooding due to sea-level rise (SLR). We present a novel global dataset of extreme sea levels, the Coastal Dataset for the Evaluation of Climate Impact (CoDEC), which can be used to accurately map the impact of climate change on coastal regions around the world. The third...journal article 2020

Schröder, E. (author), Storm, S.T.H. (author)De-carbonization to restrict future global warming to 1.5 °C is technically feasible but may impose a “limit” or “planetary boundary” to economic growth, depending on whether or not human society can decouple growth from emissions. In this paper, we assess the viability of decoupling. First, we develop a prognosis of climate-constrained...journal article 2020

(author), Agarwal, Akshat (author), Staples, Mark D. (author)Aviation emissions have been found to cause5%of global anthropogenic radiative forcing and ∼16 000 premature deaths annually due to impaired air quality. When aiming to reduce these impacts, decision makers often face trade-offs between different emission species or impacts in different times and locations. To inform rational decision-making,...journal article 2019
