Why is global warming accelerating?
We study how heat, water, vegetation, oceans, and atmospheric circulation interact to shape the pace and regional expression of a warming climate.
Why it matters
Acceleration in warming is not only a global mean-temperature question. It changes extremes, water availability, ecosystem stress, and the time available for adaptation.
Topic
Marine heatwaves
Our contributions
- Connect the record-breaking 2023 marine heatwave papers with ocean-energy infrastructure risk, turning an extreme-event diagnosis into a research direction for marine climate resilience.
- Link marine heatwave science with the ocean meteorology and ecological-disaster monitoring project to support integrated early-warning applications.
