Climate Models Sharpen Regional Risk Assessments | Climate

Last Update: 09/29/2026 at 11:33 PM EST

Coverage from Horizon Magazine, Cyprus Mail, and others

European research projects ESM2025 and NextGEMS have improved how climate models represent interactions among the atmosphere, land, and oceans, with NextGEMS simulating global processes at scales of a few kilometres.

The added detail supports assessment of regional hazards and planning for areas such as energy, fisheries, and ecosystems. Researchers also report that rivers transfer more carbon to the oceans than estimated in the IPCC's 2021 assessment.
