Modeling experiments show Pacific warm and cold patches persisted even when continents were in different places. Until now, it has been unclear how far back in time the climate phenomenon extends. But in a new study published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), an international team of scientists has established that El Niño and the Southern Oscillatio

Over the last 40 years, the majority of the world’s lakes have changed colour, according to a new study. The research team analysed 32 million satellite observations from over 67,000 lakes. Major changes in the lake ecosystems are thought to be the cause. Lakes are critical components of Earth’s ecosystem. They provide habitats for aquatic and terrestrial species, support biodiversity and help mai

El Niño, a climate troublemaker, has long been one of the largest drivers of variability in the global climate. Every few years, the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean seesaws between warm (El Niño) and cold (La Niña) phases. This reshuffles rainfall patterns, unleashing floods, droughts and storms thousands of miles from the Pacific origin. The 1997-98 and 2015-16 El Niño events, for instance, brough

Due date for the application is 25 September. When universities employ Associate Senior Lecturers (BULs), these often have very varied conditions for their research. Some have substantial support from faculty funding and some have extensive external support. However, most of them do not have large research funds initially and the money that is available cannot always be used for their "own" projec
