Extreme Weather

A study led by researchers from the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, reveals alarming trends in glacier decline in the Pir Panjal range of the Kashmir Basin.

The gradual increase in temperature-related fatalities among women in India since 2005, as revealed by recent analysis, raises concerns over gender disparities in coping with extreme heat.

A recent study challenges the conventional understanding of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) triggered by earthquakes. Contrary to common belief, the study found limited empirical support for seismic activity as the primary cause of GLOFs.

New research spearheaded by Dr. Jared Dmello reveals the profound influence of climate change on the geographical distribution and patterns of terrorist activities in India.

March 2024 emerges as hottest month ever recorded, extending a streak of unprecedented heat since 2023, deemed hottest year. Global temperatures soared approximately 1.3°F above average, surpassing previous record set in March 2016 by 0.2°F.

Recent studies challenge the notion that a warmer world leads to drier soils, suggesting that increased rainfall, rather than temperature, primarily influences soil moisture. While CO2 fertilization and warming effects play minor roles

Less snowpack results in the soil absorbing more light and heat. This absorption further increases the ground temperature, leading to warmer air temperatures and increased snowmelt.

A recent study revealed alarming trends in extreme one-day rainfall events in parts of India in the northeastern regions including Meghalaya.

A new study finds that climate change is causing giant heat waves to crawl slower across the globe, thereby baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas.

The changing climate is causing disruptions in the timing of spring, affecting ecosystems globally. Early springs pose challenges for plants and animals, leading to ecological imbalances and impacting pollination, hibernation, and species behavior.
