Climate research
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.
Marine extreme weather
Marine heatwaves can affect fish and other organisms, and extreme storms can limit fishing opportunities. Climate change increases the occurrence of such extreme weather at sea. During 2024-2026 we
