- Reposted by Emanuele BevacquaOur new study on how large floods will change in Europe under climate change, led by @bfang.bsky.social, with @bevacquae.bsky.social
- Indeed, it was a pleasure to contribute to this course with content on extreme events, climate change, and attribution science. Now it’s time for the examination! :)
- Today marks the end of my first teaching semester @unileipzig.bsky.social 📚🤩 it was a great experience to get to know such a great batch of students! Special thanks to my co-lecturer @bevacquae.bsky.social for the support 💪🏽
- Reposted by Emanuele BevacquaTo what extent does human-induced climate change contribute to global extreme wildfires? In our latest study, we quantified the contribution of human-induced climate change to over 700 observed extreme wildfires globally. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- 🔥🌍 In a new paper led by Sifang Feng, we find a growing human-induced climate change fingerprint in weekly regional fire extremes. 📈 On average, climate change was responsible for a fraction equal to 8 ± 4% of the predicted probability of more than 700 fire extremes worldwide between 2002 and 2015.
- 📊 Warming was the main driver, but precipitation, humidity, and wind changes either enhanced or counteracted warming effects in many regions. 📄 Paper in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science www.nature.com/articles/s41... or rdcu.be/eiYcp @natureportfolio.nature.com @compoundnet.bsky.social
- Reposted by Emanuele BevacquaHi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week. "...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"
- Great job opportunity in Graz, check it out!

- Reposted by Emanuele Bevacqua2024 was the first year to see global average temperatures rise more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Has the Paris Agreement goal already bitten the dust? www.newscientist.com/article/2467...
- Reposted by Emanuele BevacquaTwo papers in Nature Climate Change suggest that exceeding 1.5 °C in 2024 may indicate that we have entered a multi-decadal period of 1.5 °C average global warming. go.nature.com/4hR9GYO go.nature.com/3WVdJM1 🧪
- In Nature Climate Change, we show that a year above 1.5 °C signals that Earth is most probably within the 20-year period that will reach the Paris Agreement limit. @natclimchange.bsky.social
- The year 2024 was announced as the first calendar year to exceed 1.5 °C of global warming by several international organisations that independently track the global temperature, with a multi-dataset mean of 1.55 °C.
- However, the implications for the Paris Agreement's 1.5 °C goal are unclear because the goal is understood to refer to temperature averaged over a 20-30 year period to account for natural short-term variability.

View full threadThe results in both papers depend on how CMIP6 models capture relevant climate processes over the next decade or so. See Discussion and bsky.app/profile/clim... Work @ufz.de together with @carlschleussner.bsky.social and @zscheischlerjak.bsky.social
- Paper no1 by @bevacquae.bsky.social and colleagues asks what a year where average annual global warming is at or above 1.5°C tells us about the timing of reaching or exceeding the Paris Agreement's longer-term 1.5°C limit. The 2024 calendar year was the first such year.

- We are delighted to announce the "Compound weather and climate events" session at #EGU25! We look forward to receiving your exciting abstracts! @compoundnet.bsky.social
- Do you remember the extreme #drought in Europe in 2022? Our @naturegeosci.bsky.social paper shows that human-induced global warming contributed to 31% of the intensity, with 14–41% of such contribution due to warming-driven soil drying that occurred before 2022. rdcu.be/dXA1S 1/n
- Combining observations and climate models with hydrological and land-surface simulations, we show that Central-Southern Europe saw the highest total water storage deficit since satellite observations began in 2002, probably the most extreme soil moisture deficit in 60 years. 2/n
- While precipitation deficits primarily drove the soil moisture drought, human-induced global warming contributed to over 30% of the drought intensity and its spatial extent via enhanced evaporation. Qualitatively similar effects occurred for the extremely low river discharges. 3/n

- Reposted by Emanuele BevacquaGreat to get the 3rd Como trainingschool on statistical modeling of @Compound_Event|s started with a keynote by @Bevacqua_E and an international cohort of early career researchers. Two exciting weeks ahead! @kan_risk
