From the Arctic to the tropics: permafrost soils and methane
A new study led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Hamburg, shows…
Permafrost hydrology plays an important role in global climate simulations, new study shows

The effect of climate perturbations on the timing of Heinrich events
Throughout the last glacial period (ca. 65,000-15,000 years before present) periodic ice discharge events from the North American ice sheet, known as…
Is climate deterministic or stochastic?
Prof. Jin-Song von Storch shows in a new paper that climate variability on ultra-long timescales is, contrary to common understanding, not determined…
Component concurrency increases the parallel efficiency of Earth system models
In a recent study in the journal of Geoscientific Model Development Leonidas Linardakis and his colleagues demonstrate how coarse-grained component…
How ice rises and rumples affect the Antarctic ice sheet
In a study in The Cryosphere, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology examined the effect of basal friction and sea level variation…
Social change more important than physical tipping points
Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is currently not plausible, as is shown in a new, central study released by Universität Hamburg’s…
Internal variability dominates short-term surface temperature trends
A new study by Dr Nicola Maher, Dr Flavio Lehner and Prof Jochem Marotzke demonstrates that in the coming 15 years any individual point on the globe…
