By investigating the associated mechanisms, they argue that this twofold impact holds the key to poor...16 December 2025|climmodel-newsHow marine heatwaves amplify humid-heat stress along Europe’s coastal regionsPhoto: UHH/Armineh BarkhordarianA recent study led by CLICCS researcher Armineh Barkhordarian shows that marine and land heatwaves increasingly occur together along European coastlines – and that this combination dramatically amplifies humid-heat stress. Key findings: Coastal heat extremes are escalating: Compound...15 December 2025|climmodel-newsCharlotte Bohne successfully defended her Master's thesisPhoto: UHH/Charlotte BohneCharlotte successfully defended her Master's thesis – Congratulations! The title of her thesis is "Assessing the influence of land-atmosphere coupling on seasonal predictions of summer hot extremes over the Mediterranean". Her analysis reveals that the seasonal forecasting system SEAS5 captures the...30 October 2025|climmodel-newsHeatwaves in Northern and Central Europe becoming more intense and unpredictablePhoto: Adobe Stock/alfotokunstDue to climate change, heatwaves in Europe are not only becoming more frequent and hotter but also increasingly unpredictable. An international team led by climate scientist Dr. Goratz Beobide-Arsuaga from the Earth and Society Research Hub (ESRAH) at the University of Hamburg has now shown that...Contribution from the news channel CEN News6 October 2025|climmodel-newsEduardo Alastrué de Asenjo wins Poster Prize Award at Overshoot ConferencePhoto: IIASAWhat are the consequences of crossing global temperature targets? Would it be feasible to return to those levels in the near future? What are the implications of a temperature "overshoot"? To answer these and other key questions, the first Overshoot Conference took place in Austria, hosted by IIASA...29 September 2025|climmodel-newsTalking about solutions ...Photo: DWD/Iuliia PolkovaWhat could be the positive side effects of necessary mitigation and adaptation measures? Marlene Klockmann and two colleagues from the German Weather Service discussed this with school children in two workshops titled "A world of extremes - how do we turn the climate crisis into opportunities?". The...28 July 2025|climmodel-newsStories of claiming space and making waves – opening of "Breaking the Surface"Photo: Miriam Frieß/UHHMore than 130 guests celebrated the opening of Breaking the Surface. The exhibition portrays eleven female scientists, their questions for the ocean – and their experiences with glass ceilings.Contribution from the news channel CEN News26 June 2025|climmodel-newsDevelopment of a wind-based storm surge model for the German BightPhoto: BSH/Laura SchafferIn her recent publication, Laura Schaffer presents the development of a simple statistical model designed to calculate wind surges at the Cuxhaven gauge. Due to its geographical location, the Cuxhaven gauge serves as a reliable proxy for water levels across large parts of the German Bight. The newly...13 June 2025|climmodel-newsIs the gulf stream running out of steam?Photo: UHH/Jessica TiedkeListening to the latest scientific findings with a drink in your hand? Chatting with researchers at the bar about their current projects? In short: going out in the evening and learning something at the same time? All this is possible at ‘Wissen vom Fass’! On 12 June, Hamburg scientists left their...4 June 2025|climmodel-newsExtreme heat in Europe: every year countsPhoto: Adobe Stock/erika8213Even if the global community were to stop emitting greenhouse gases tomorrow, today’s heat records in Europe would continue for centuries – and could become even more extreme if climate action is delayed. A delay of just a few years can increase the intensity and frequency of extreme heat. This is...Contribution from the news channel CLICCS NewsShow all news
