Overview

Climate change is the long-term shift in global and regional temperatures, precipitation, and weather patterns, driven mainly by rising atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities such as fossil-fuel combustion and deforestation. Its consequences include warming, sea-level rise, altered rainfall, and more frequent and intense extreme events such as droughts, floods, and storms, with cascading effects on ecosystems, water resources, food systems, and human health. From a statistical and analytical standpoint, climate change is studied through the measurement and modeling of long-term trends, the analysis of rainfall and temperature data, and the quantification of risks and vulnerabilities to inform adaptation and risk-reduction efforts. Key aspects of the topic include greenhouse-gas emissions and the carbon cycle, including carbon uptake by terrestrial and aquatic plants toward net-zero emissions, the linkage between climate change, land degradation, and food security, and the impacts on freshwater systems, fisheries, and public health. The journal publishes research touching on these dimensions, including artificial-neural-network and other data-driven analyses of rainfall patterns in relation to climate change, studies of reduced river water levels linked to declining rainfall, the climate–land-degradation–food-security nexus, the health and environmental vulnerabilities associated with extreme hydrological events, and assessments of climate-change impacts on public health. This reflects the strongly quantitative and data-oriented study of climate change.
