Publication on the atmospheric drivers and socioeconomic impacts of precipitation variability in North Africa

Precipitation variability in North Africa, one of the most water-scarce and climate-sensitive regions globally, exhibits pronounced spatial and temporal changes driven by both natural variability and anthropogenic climate forcing. This review synthesizes current knowledge on precipitation variability across North Africa from the early Holocene to...

Extreme event attribution in the Mediterranean

Review paper addressing methodological advances in the science of extreme event attribution (techniques to better understand how much anthropogenic climate change affected the intensity, frequency and physical processes leading to observed extreme weather events) with a focus on studies in the Mediterranean basin.
