"~93% of authors in our dataset were affiliated with Annex I institutions." highlighting the importance of international (equitable) collaborations, trainings, and funding support

The US was featured in the largest number of publications in these journals (~27% in this dataset) relative to many of the most vulnerable countries

🪧 New paper led by Sonali McDermid's group demonstrating regional inequities in climate research published in top-tier journals (based on Impact Factor and other criteria) ~65% of studies analyzed featured 27 Annex I countries, while another 62% featured 75 non-Annex-I countries rdcu.be/fxStf

Here is an updated version of the bubble diagram - Attribution confidence is highest for extreme temperature events but we also have relatively high confidence in attributing other event types including extreme rainfall and drought.

Examples of extreme heat objects associated with heat domes (left) versus other non-heat dome circulations (right) based on this definition

🥵 Heat domes! What exactly are they? In this timely new paper led by Paul Loikith, we provide a quantitative definition based on circulation and surface temperatures and present their climatology. Figure ⬇️ shows proportion of extreme heat events associated with a heat dome doi.org/10.1016/j.wa...

📎📜 Paper on the climatology and drivers of extreme atmospheric ridges over western North America led by my postdoc (Dr. Xiaoyu Bai). Such ridges (or high-pressure systems) are often associated with a range of surface temperature and precipitation extremes @siiribigalke.bsky.social rdcu.be/eXGW5

We developed a Potential Climate Damage Index - the number of metrics that show trends that could adversely impact the yield, sweetness, color, cosmetic damage, storability or other characteristics that affect marketability. The top apple producing US county has experienced up to 5 harmful trends.

🍎New paper on compounding climate risks to high-value tree fruit production in the U.S, led by graduate student Shawn Preston. We examine climate metrics specific to the phenology of apples 🍎 but findings are relevant for similar tree fruit. doi.org/10.1088/1748... via @IOPenvironment

⚡New paper on predicting #lightning 🌩️ in the western US using CNNs with @dmitri-climate.bsky.social @zacklabe.com @climate-guy.bsky.social and others. Key finding: CNN are quite skillful at predicting lightning here. We are using these to develop projections of lightning-ignited #wildfires🔥.
