Description

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released the Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis, which cited at least 30 papers authored by 12 Byrd Center scientists on topics ranging from landslides in Brazil to warming in West Antarctica to drought in Europe!

The Center's impact is truly global. Our scientists also contributed by serving as chapter reviewers and by providing background and perspectives to the lead authors.

A list of publications authored by Byrd Center scientists and cited in the report is included below:
