An assessment of Earth's climate sensitivity using multiple lines of evidence
We assess evidence relevant to Earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity per doubling of
atmospheric CO2, characterized by an effective sensitivity S. This evidence includes …

Climate change and drought: a precipitation and evaporation perspective
Many studies have shown that greenhouse gas (GHG)-induced global warming may lead to
increased surface aridity and more droughts in the twenty-first century due to decreased …

Improvement and expansion of the Fmask algorithm: Cloud, cloud shadow, and snow detection for Landsats 4–7, 8, and Sentinel 2 images
Identification of clouds, cloud shadows and snow in optical images is often a necessary step
toward their use. Recently a new program (named Fmask) designed to accomplish these …

Observational evidence that cloud feedback amplifies global warming
Global warming drives changes in Earth's cloud cover, which, in turn, may amplify or
dampen climate change. This “cloud feedback” is the single most important cause of …

A review on the importance of metals and metalloids in atmospheric dust and aerosol from mining operations
Contaminants can be transported rapidly and over relatively long distances by atmospheric
dust and aerosol relative to other media such as water, soil and biota; yet few studies have …
