Heatwaves are Forcing Mongolia’s Climate Toward a Tipping Point

According to an international team of climate scientists, the semi-arid plateau of Mongolia may rapidly become as desolate as parts of the American Southwest because of a “vicious cycle” of heatwaves—that worsens soil drying, and eventually creates more heatwaves.

Antarctic Ice Dynamics Driven by Northern Hemisphere Sea Level Changes

Over the past 40,000 years, ice sheets thousands of kilometres apart have influenced one another through sea level changes, according to research published today in Nature. New modelling of ice sheet changes during the most recent glacial cycle by a McGill-led team offers a clearer idea of the mechanisms that drive change than had previously existed and explains newly available geological records. The study demonstrates, for the first time, that during this period, changes in the Antarctic ice sheet were driven by the melting ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere.

Relation Between Climate Change and Infectious Diseases Unknown to Half of the Population

The transmission of specific infectious diseases have been altered by processes linked to climatic and environmental anomalies. An increase in infectious outbreaks is expected to be seen in mild climates due to global warming, and the alterations in climate patterns, such as El Niño, are modifying the presence, density, strength and dynamics of transmission of many viruses and pathogens.

Improving the Climate Change Scenario Framework

Over the past decade, the climate change research community developed a scenario framework that combines alternative futures of climate and society to facilitate integrated research and consistent assessment to inform policy. An international team of researchers assessed how well this framework is working and what challenges it faces.

Grassland Restoration in Semi-Arid Regions can Mitigate Climate Change Effects

A recent study showed how, contrary to encroachment by the invasive alien tree species Prosopis julifora (referred to as “Mathenge” in Kenya or “Promi” in Baringo), the revival of grasslands in tropical semi-arid areas can alleviate the effects of climate change as well as restore important benefits typically provided by healthy grasslands for agro-pastoralist and pastoralist communities.

Shift in Atmospheric Rivers Could Lead to Increased Rates of Ice Melt in Antarctica

Weather systems responsible for transporting moisture from the tropics to temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere have been gradually shifting toward the South Pole for the past 40 years, a trend which could lead to increased rates of ice melt in Antarctica, according to new research.
