by Daniel Brouse April 2, 2025 In the 1990s, we first hypothesized the non-linear acceleration of climate change. By the early 2000s, this hypothesis had evolved into established climate theory, now widely recognized as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I collaborated to provide key evidence supporting this […]

Climate Change: 9 Day Tsunami Seismic Event
by Daniel Brouse September 13, 2024 A seismic event, triggered by climate change, shook the Earth for nine days following a 650-foot tsunami in Greenland. As permafrost and glaciers melt, the ground becomes unstable. In this case, melting in East Greenland caused the collapse of a mountain, leading to a landslide that impacted the ocean […]
Sea Level Rise: Doubling Down
by Daniel Brouse When we authored our paper on the acceleration of climate change, we couldn’t have anticipated its rapid pace. The doubling period for sea level rise, which was projected to span 100 years, dramatically shortened to 10 years by 2020. Shockingly, recent observations indicate that this doubling period has further compressed to just […]

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 […]

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 […]

How is All Real Estate at Risk From Climate Change?
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Climate change poses risks to real estate in the United States in various ways, and these risks can affect property values, insurance costs, and overall property resilience. Here are some ways in which all US real estate is at risk from climate change: Sea Level Rise and Coastal Properties: […]

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 […]
