Abstract The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) strongly affects the climate of the Indo-Pacific.
Observations suggest a shift towards stronger and earlier positive IOD (pIOD) events …

This chapter assesses simulations of future global climate change, spanning time horizons
from the near term (2021–2040), mid-term (2041–2060), and long term (2081–2100) out to …

The AR5 concluded that human influence on the climate system is clear, evident from
increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing …

Extreme wildfire events in recent years are shaking our established knowledge of how fire
regimes respond to climate variables and how societies need to react to fire impacts. Albeit …

Climate strongly influences global wildfire activity, and recent wildfire surges may signal fire
weather-induced pyrogeographic shifts. Here we use three daily global climate data sets …

A strong positive Indian Ocean Dipole (pIOD) induces weather extremes such as the 2019
Australian bushfires and African floods. The impact is influenced by sea surface temperature …
