🌟 "We’ll see bots doing research on their own. They’ll be a standard part of teams, join meetings, make suggestions, and creatively advance research topics," says Dr. Christopher Kadow, AI expert at DKRZ.

☁️ 🔍 Understanding #clouds better is not just a scientific curiosity – it’s key to predicting our climate futures. Meter-scale sims by Rafael Pistor and Juan Pedro Mellado explain why turbulence within the boundary layer increases with sedimentation. 🧪 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Portrait of researcher Rafael Pistor next to his quote on a slanted blue background: "In clouds, processes on scales of droplet sizes are just as important for a cloud’s lifetime as large-scale dynamics like turbulence."

Das 1,5°C Grenze ist gerissen. Was jetzt?

In der neuen Folge von Terra X spricht Harald Lesch über die Folgen der Erwärmung und den Wandel zur Klimaneutralität. Dabei zitiert er auch den Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook, die zentrale Studie unseres Exzellenzclusters CLICCS

Bye-bye 1,5 Grad? Die unbequeme Wahrheit

2024 war global zu heiß: 1,5 °C überschritten. Ist das Klimaziel gescheitert? Harald Lesch analysiert, was das bedeutet – und was jetzt zu tun ist.

In Trinidad & Tobago, climate change isn’t seen as a major issue – despite coral bleaching and sediment changes. Locals say it’s just a political topic. 🏝️ Beate Ratter @uni-hamburg.de researches small island resilience. More about her work: www.cliccs.uni-hamburg.de/about-cliccs...

Resolution matters: Extreme temperatures in e.g. Indian cities can be underestimated by up to 10°C, a paper by @lukasbrunner.bsky.social‬ shows. High-res climate models (<10 km) reveal that important details about extremes are hidden at lower resolutions. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Portrait of climate researcher Lukas Brunner, including his quote: “Resolution is important for climate extremes! Peak temperatures can be up to 10°C higher in next-generation climate models just due to their finer resolution.
These findings are particularly important for robust risk assessments.”

New paper in ERL! We study the importance of resolution for the representation of climate extremes.

We use a new generation of km-scale models to show that many important details about temperature and precipitation extremes are hidden at CMIP6-like resolutions.
