This study investigates the way in which tropical cyclones are named with particular reference to Cyclone Idai. It also documents how the people in Chimanimani, Zimbabwe, who were affected by the cyclone felt about the name and its implications. Drawing mainly from a methodological orientation ...

large areas subject to severe weather (tropical cyclones); natural disasters (earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions) volcanism: the world is home to more than 1,500 potentially active volcanoes, with over 500 of these having erupted in historical times; an estimated 500 million peopl...
Tropical wet-dry climate(Aw) TypeEandHclimates Köppen’s type E climates are controlled by the polar and arctic air masses of high latitudes (60° N and S and higher). These climates are characterized by low temperatures and precipitation and by a surprisingly greatdiversityof subtypes. In ...

In conclusion, we have identified regions where record-breaking heat extremes are statistically more likely to occur because the current records do not sample the larger extremes well. Furthermore, these regions may be more susceptible to the impacts of such extremes due to a lack of preparedness...
Tropical cyclones that originate in the Atlantic Ocean are responsible for the yearly hurricane season that affects Central America, eastern USA, and some parts of the Carribean. The Atlantic Ocean is bordered in the north by theArctic Ocean,Southern Oceanin the south, andIndian Oceanin the south...

We offer long-range forecasts of hurricane, typhoon and tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic, NW Pacific, SW Pacific and Indian Ocean basins.
Here's a list of the most threatened animal species in the world. It approximates how many of each exist in the wild and also indicates which efforts, if any, are being used to save them.
