CAFE Researchers among the World's Top 2% in Academic Citation
A total of nine researchers from the CAFE project appear on the updated version for the 2021 list elaborated by experts from the University of Stanford, based on standardized information on citation metrics and other factors that measure the impact of a researcher’s work.

Changing atmospheric circulations in a warming climate
In recent decades, we humans have strongly influenced the behaviour of climate given the enormous amounts of “heat-trapping” gasses that we have emitted since the beginning of the industrial revolution. These greenhouse gasses have generated an increase in the Earth’s temperature and this has had an implication for the climate as we once knew it. More extreme meteorological events have become more common and they are expected to continue to affect us more strongly in the future. Why are these extreme events increasing and what causes them in the first place?
xMCA: A Python library for complex Maximum Covariance Analysis in Xarray
The new feature of xMCA, is the possibility to perform complex PCA and complex MCA, which are particularly suitable, when the covariance-describing patterns do not rest statically in space, but rather behave like a cyclic wave propagating in space.
Today we decide our future path
Climate change is here today, affecting us and impacting our lives. “But unless there is an immediate, rapid and large-scale reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to +1.5°C by 2100 would be out of reach” assures Valérie Masson-Delmotte, a Climate scientist at the Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l’environnement (LSCE). To better react, it is worth having an overview of the actual evolution of climate change.
Modelling the Earth System and the dynamics of complex systems for understanding climate change – The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics recognized that our knowledge of Earth’s Climate, one outstanding example of a complex system, rests on a solid scientific foundation of physics, mathematics and complex systems science.
