Many cities and countries remain chronically unprepared in what the UN calls an "adaptation gap". But there are five ways to catalyse more effective - and ultimately more progressive - climate adaptation and resilience.

Coastal models enhance understanding of future flooding frequency on atoll islands, paving the way to explore the limits of adaptation in the face of rising sea levels and climate change.

Heat and humidity contributed to kidney damage and disease in the San Luis Valley in Colorado between 1984 and 1998, according to our recently published work in the peer-reviewed journal Weather, Climate, and Society.

Innovative solutions are needed to allow small island nations to manage debt and build climate resilience as global funding declines.

Using data from a technology called distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), researchers developed a method to provide warnings up to 30 minutes in advance of lava eruptions. The method offers a way to volcanic activity and provide early warnings.

Secondary gravity waves emerge as the hidden architects of global-scale thermospheric upheaval following the Tonga eruption in 2022.

A Ha’apai resident speaks of her experience during the volcanic eruption in 2022 in Tonga, and what some of the signs were prior to the event. A Tongan resident also shares how they felt well prepared before a recent strong earthquake in the country.

To improve readiness for extreme weather, detailed information about all the factors that cause flooding, such as storm surges, rainfall and waves, is essential. New research offers a way to understand how these factors interact in complex ways.
