Climate science library (topics)

Welcome to Climanosco’s climate science library, an ever-growing collection on all things climate science.

Discover and learn all things on climate from researchers by browsing through our collections of articles and manuscripts or searching by themes.

This page gives the latest stage publications from our two open access journals Climanosco Research Articles and Climanosco Research Manuscripts.

Research articles are written by scientists, reviewed scientifically, and clarified for a broad audience with the help of volunteer reviewers. Before they take their final form as research articles, and as they evolve through our peer review process from submission to revision to publication, we call them research manuscripts.

Research manuscripts are published at two stages of the peer review. Submitted manuscripts are published at an early stage of this process. They have been checked for overall scientific quality by an editor but have not been reviewed in detail. They may still contain errors, ambiguities, or misleading wording. Revised manuscripts have been reviewed and revised. They are almost final. Research articles are final. Click to learn more about our publications and peer review process.

Rising carbon dioxide is decreasing nutrition in crops and endangering health among the less wealthy

Rising carbon dioxide is decreasing nutrition in crops and endangering health among the less wealthy

Carbon dioxide levels are rising globally. The increasing CO2 levels reduce the concentration of nutrients in many of the crops that are consumed worldwide (wheat, rice, barley, maize, legumes, and potatoes). The larger effects for human health are concentrated in regions that heavily rely on these crops for their nutrition such as South and Southeast Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. Because these effects are likely to be hidden, we should better monitor the nutritional status of populations as…

Increasing heat creates hardship for brick kiln workers in Chennai, India and the alternative pathways reducing it

Climate change brings new burdens to people working outdoors. Migrant populations working at brick kilns in India are one such group facing dangerously overheated working conditions. Many migrate to the kilns from rural areas under bonded labor conditions. We argue that solutions need to go beyond industry-oriented technology-based solutions and focus on the social problem and take a people focused stance. In addition to adopting more locally appropriate technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and heat in the work environment,…

The impact of climate change will hit urban dwellers first – Can green infrastructure save us?

The impact of climate change will hit urban dwellers first – Can green infrastructure save us?

Two phenomena that can cause large numbers of premature human deaths have gained attention in the last years: heat waves and air pollution. These two effects have two things in common: They are closely related to climate change and they are particularly intense in urban areas. Urban areas are particular susceptible to these impacts because they can store lots of heat and have little opportunity for cooling off (also known as the urban heat island effect). In order to mitigate…

Will climate change worsen your health?

Will climate change worsen your health?

Nearly 8% of deaths in Europe are due to ambient temperatures, and global warming represents an additional threat for public health. Despite the fact that we expect more frequent, intense and persistent heat waves during the present century, it is actually not clear whether the number of attributable deaths will also increase. Here I discuss why the role of early adaptation to temperature rise is a major ongoing research topic in science and policy-making, and how these eventual acclimatization processes…

Heat stress and inadequate toilet access at work places in India – a potential hazard to working women in a changing climate

Heat stress and inadequate toilet access at work places in India – a potential hazard to working women in a changing climate

In the past few decades, increasingly blistering heat due to climate change has created more illnesses and claimed more lives worldwide, an issue mostly ignored because it’s an invisible hazard and hard-to-document disaster. Victims are usually vulnerable populations, including workers exposed on a daily basis to heat, who not only suffer from heat illnesses but also from an exacerbation of existing health problems aggravated by heat and dehydration. Research has proved that heat is a higher risk for female workers,…
