Future warming increases probability of globally synchronized maize production shocks

Michelle Tigchelaar, David S. Battisti, Rosamond L. Naylor, Deepak K. Ray

Journal Article

Climate-induced shocks in grain production are a major contributor to global market volatility, which creates uncertainty for cereal farmers and agribusiness and reduces food access for poor...
Large potential reduction in economic damages under UN mitigation targets

Marshall Burke, W. Matt Davis, Noah Diffenbaugh

Journal Article

International climate change agreements typically specify global warming thresholds as policy targets, but the relative economic benefits of achieving these temperature targets remain poorly...
The effects of intensive aquaculture on nutrient residence time and transport in a coastal embayment

Bing Wang, Ling Cao, Fiorenza Micheli, Rosamond L. Naylor, Oliver B. Fringer

Journal Article

Aquaculture in many countries around the world has become the biggest source of seafood for human consumption. While it alleviates the pressure on wild capture fisheries, the long-term impacts of...
Unprecedented rates of land-use transformation in modelled climate change mitigation pathways

P. A. Turner, Christopher B. Field, David Lobell, D. L. Sanchez, K. J. Mach

Journal Article

Integrated assessment models generate climate change mitigation scenarios consistent with global temperature targets. To limit warming to 2 °C, cost-effective mitigation pathways rely on extensive...
Differences, or lack thereof, in wheat and maize yields under three low-warming scenarios

Claudia Tebaldi, David Lobell

Journal Article

The availability of climate model experiments under three alternative scenarios stabilizing at warming targets inspired by the COP21 agreements (a 1.5 ºC not exceed, a 1.5 ºC with overshoot and a 2....
