by Daniel Brouse A significant factor contributing to both increased costs and decreased availability of homeowners insurance is climate change. The surge in insurance costs is primarily driven by the unprecedented number of climate-related disasters. States like California, Louisiana, and Florida now heavily rely on government aid to manage the financial burdens associated with residential […]

Climate Change, Inflation, and You
Currently, a major contributor to inflation is the surge in homeowners’ insurance costs, propelled by the unprecedented number of climate disasters in 2023. California, Louisiana, and Florida are now dependent on government assistance to manage the financial burden of residential property insurance. Flood insurance will become expensive and difficult to obtain. NOAA: A historic year […]

Climate Change and Chaos Theory
By Daniel Brouse February 5, 2024 Global warming is caused by an increase in thermal energy. Atmospheric circulation together with ocean circulation is how thermal energy is redistributed throughout the world. Chaos theory offers insights into the complex, nonlinear dynamics of climate systems role in the redistribution of thermal energy. The Earth’s climate is a […]

Climate Change, the Jet Stream, and East Coast Atmospheric Rivers
by Daniel Brouse How is climate change impacting the jet stream and atmospheric rivers on the East Coast of the USA? The interactions between various factors, including ocean currents, sea surface temperatures, and atmospheric circulation, contribute to the overall climate patterns experienced on the East Coast. Climate change can influence the jet stream and atmospheric […]

Atmospheric Rivers and Coastal Erosion
Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere that transport large amounts of water vapor. When these atmospheric rivers make landfall, they can bring heavy rainfall over an extended period, leading to increased runoff and potentially contributing to coastal erosion through several mechanisms: Intense Rainfall: Atmospheric rivers can bring intense and […]

Violent Rain and the Substrate
Daniel Brouse asked: As the sea levels rise, how far “inland” might we see salinization of fresh water? Is it possible saltwater could infiltrate the Great Lakes? Lake Superior has an elevation of 600 feet above (current) sea level and a depth of 1,332 feet. Lake Ontario is 243 feet above sea level with a […]

Gravity, Sea Level Rise and Surge
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjess In general, the coasts that are seeing the largest storm surges are the same areas that are experiencing the fastest rate of sea level rise. The sea level does not rise at the same rate for most coastlines. Some of the conditions that determine the sea level at any […]

Greenland Atmospheric Rivers
by Sidd Mukherjee Historically in the United States, atmospheric rivers (AR) have been associated with the West Coast. Now, AR activity is getting more attention on the East Coast. Atmospheric rivers have been putting serious rainfall melt on Greenland for the last decade, too. Darker snow surfaces absorb more sunlight and melt quicker. This effect […]
