A framework for research linking weather, climate and COVID-19
(Nature Research, 2020)
When COVID-19 began to spread, environmental scientists recognized that the world faced a dangerous upper respiratory viral disease that might exhibit sensitivity to seasonal weather conditions. Many of these scientists ...

The contributions of transboundary networks to environmental governance: The legacy of the MAP initiative
(Elsevier, 2022)
Because many environmental threats span national boundaries, transboundary networks have emerged as a form of multi-stakeholder platform to support environmental governance (EG). There are transboundary networks in various ...
Hailstorm events in the Central Andes of Peru: Insights from historical data and radar microphysics
(European Geosciences Union, 2024)
Hailstorms, while fascinating from a meteorological perspective, pose significant risks to communities, agriculture, and infrastructure. In regions such as the Central Andes of Peru, the characteristics and frequency of ...
The new record of drought and warmth in the Amazon in 2023 related to regional and global climatic features
(Springer, 2024)
In 2023 Amazonia experienced both historical drought and warm conditions. On October 26th 2023 the water levels at the port of Manaus reached its lowest record since 1902 (12.70 m). In this region, October monthly maximum ...
The rainy season in the Southern Peruvian Andes: A climatological analysis based on the new Climandes index
(John Wiley and Sons, 2023-01)
The rainy season is of high importance for livelihoods in the Southern Peruvian Andes (SPA), especially for agriculture, which is mainly rain fed and one of the main income sources in the region. Therefore, knowledge and ...

Construction of a high-resolution gridded rainfall dataset for Peru from 1981 to the present day
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
A new gridded rainfall dataset available for Peru is introduced, called PISCOp V2.1 (Peruvian Interpolated data of SENAMHI’s Climatological and Hydrological Observations). PISCOp has been developed for the period 1981 to ...

Mechanisms of tropical precipitation biases in climate models
(Springer, 2020-10-27)
We investigate the possible causes for inter-model spread in tropical zonal-mean precipitation pattern, which is divided into hemispherically symmetric and anti-symmetric modes via empirical orthogonal function analysis. ...

Performance of Regional Climate Model Precipitation Simulations Over the Terrain-Complex Andes-Amazon Transition Region
(American Geophysical Union, 2024)
Regional climate models (RCMs) are widely used to assess future impacts associated with climate change at regional and local scales. RCMs must represent relevant climate variables in the present-day climate to be considered ...
