Climatology or climate research is the study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time. This modern field of study is regarded as a branch of the atmospheric sciences and a subfield of physical geography, which is one of the Earth sciences.
Varmare klimat minskar myggornas blodtörst
Studies from SLU show that mosquitoes exposed to higher temperatures are more likely to favour plant nectar over blood, which could reduce the spread of malaria in a warmer climate. Read the full
