Nature Climate Change, Published online: 28 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02784-w As the IPCC is in its seventh assessment cycle, bridging the gap between physical climate science and economics has become more urgent. Estimating climate damages requires a rigorous translation of physical hazards into economic losses, highlighting the need for better communication between the disciplines.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 28 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02758-y This work investigates the effect of the 2016 regime shift in Antarctic sea ice on Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW). The authors show that decreased sea ice and reduced freshwater subduction lead to saltier and denser AAIW, with implications for wide-scale water-mass properties.
