In 2025, Climate of the Past celebrated its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, the journal has become a leading open-access publication in paleoclimatology. It provides a platform for research into how the Earth’s climate has changed over time, and how these changes can inform our understanding of the current climate system. To celebrate its anniversary, Climate of the Past decided to bring its community together over the course of a year with a series of ten free webinars. …
Ice shelves, the floating margins of the Antarctic ice sheet, play an important role in the estimation of future sea-level rise. By their presence, they act as a brake on the flow from the grounded ice sheet to the ocean and therefore modulate how much of this ice is added to the ocean. As the atmosphere and ocean warm, melt is occurring at their surface and at their base, putting their existence under threat. In this context, the future of …
The looming El Niño is likely to hit hard this year, bringing bracing moments to the already warming world. Extreme weather events are no longer just anomalies; they have become far too common in this new reality. It’s clear that our environment is under unprecedented stress. Experts warn of the costs of inaction: between 1995 and 2024, nearly one million lives have been lost due to climate-related disasters globally, with direct economic damages soaring to nearly 4 trillion Euros. Consequently, …
