By Daniel Brouse March 28, 2024 Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. Identifying and understanding these tipping points is crucial for climate science and policymaking. Crossing multiple tipping points could lead to a domino effect, resulting in […]

Enso-Neutral Not So Neutral
by Daniel Brouse The neutral phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs when water temperature anomalies in the eastern and central Pacific range between 0.5 °C and -0.5 °C. During this period, neither La Niña nor El Niño conditions dominate, and it is sometimes humorously referred to as “La Nada”; however, ENSO-neutral is anything […]

Coral Reefs’ Tipping Point
by Daniel Brouse February 14, 2024 Coral reefs confront unprecedented challenges arising from various stressors, many of which are directly tied to human activities. Some of these stressors possess critical tipping points, surpassing which can lead to the collapse of coral ecosystems. According to the European Geosciences Union’s statement on January 2, 2024, specific tipping […]

Climate Change Wildfires
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee About the 2023 wildfires in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green said, “For perspective, we’ve had six fire emergencies this August, we had six fire emergencies between 1953 and 2003. That’s how- how fast things are changing. I know that there is debate out there whether we should be talking about […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
