    ‘Tail Risk’: a Chat with Scientist Radley Horton

    We’re talking to experts around the Earth Institute about what they’re working on, what they would like people to know about it, and what inspired them to go into their field.

  • A New Tool for Coastal Planners Preparing for Sea Level Rise

    A New Tool for Coastal Planners Preparing for Sea Level Rise

    Globally, the tool estimates at least 11 inches of sea level rise this century with ambitious efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions and as much as 52 inches if greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow unchecked.

  • Climate Change Isn’t Just a 21st Century Problem

    Climate Change Isn’t Just a 21st Century Problem

    Humans have been burning fossil fuels for only about 150 years, yet that has started a cascade of profound changes that at their current pace will still be felt 10,000 years from now, a new study shows.

  • Fast-Building Storms Play Key Role in Tropical Cyclone Risk

    Fast-Building Storms Play Key Role in Tropical Cyclone Risk

    In studying climate and tropical cyclones, researchers find a weather phenomenon at play.

  • Spring 2016 Undergraduate Research Assistant Opportunities

    Spring 2016 Undergraduate Research Assistant Opportunities

    The Earth Institute will offer nine research assistant opportunities for undergraduate students during the Spring 2016 semester.

  • Tropical Rainfall from Hours to Millennia

    Tropical Rainfall from Hours to Millennia

    Most of Earth’s rainfall occurs in a tropical zonal band that circles the Earth. Understanding how this band will responds to climate change requires us to combine time scales from hours to millennia.

  • Seeing the Amazon’s Future Through the Fog

    Seeing the Amazon’s Future Through the Fog

    Scientists have developed a new approach to modeling the water and carbon cycles in the Amazon that could lead to better climate forecasts and improved water resource management.

    IRI@AGU: Schedule of Events + Q&As

    Four scientists and one PhD student from the International Research Institute for Climate and Society are attending the 2013 American Geophysical Union’s Fall Meeting. Below are links to Q&As with each of the presenters and the schedule of their posters and presentations.

  • Predicting the Future of Soy in South America

    Predicting the Future of Soy in South America

    In this Q&A, Arthur M. Greene discusses improving climate and agricultural modeling in South America using a new stochastic simulation of future climate.
