Research
Three decades of climate risk research
From monitoring Bangladesh’s 1996 floods to projecting ENSO impacts with CMIP6 — research that links climate science to the people who have to act on it.

ENSO Impacts & Climate Change Adaptation
How the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole drive increasing year-to-year climate variability, even as the planet warms over the long term. Using CMIP5 and CMIP6 climate models, the work assesses growing disruption to rainfall, sea level and tropical-cyclone frequency in climate-vulnerable countries. South Asia is a priority for adaptation: Bangladesh in particular faces heat stress in El Niño years and flooding in La Niña years.
