New research shows that as the climate warms, hailstorms across Europe may become less frequent. But when they do occur, they could be more destructive than ever, especially in the south. New findings from Newcastle University and the UK Met Office shows that climate change is reshaping the nature of severe hail, with significant consequences for people, infrastructure and agriculture across the continent.| From Blog
From tropical cyclones and floods to droughts and heatwaves, climate change is reshaping natural hazards. Researchers at Newcastle University are analysing rainfall extremes, tropical cyclone dynamics, and the risks these pose for vulnerable regions like the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) basin in South Asia.| From Blog
What happens when a shark gets more food than usual? Does it grow faster, reproduce more, or become more resilient to environmental change? These questions aren’t just fascinating: they’re crucial for conservation. Our latest research has discovered that elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays) don’t follow fixed life strategies. Instead, they change depending on how much food is available. Dr Isabel Smallegange, Senior Lecturer in Population Biology, explains how this plasticity –...| From Blog
