BBC: Will warmer weather really kill-off Covid-19?

Recent article from BBC covering some of our recent ongoing work about COVID-19 and climate.  An excerpt: “Climate comes into play because it affects the stability of the virus outside the human body when expelled by coughing or sneezing, for example,” says Miguel Araújo, who studies the effects of environmental change on biodiversity at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in . . .

SARS-Cov-2: Updated climate suitability maps

Below we will be sharing regular updates on estimated changes in climate suitability for SARS-CoV-2 transmission after incorporation of new data on positive cases. The most updated maps will be provided on the top of the page. 1st May (includes t_mean,  t_min*t_max, precipitation, evapotranspiration, radiation)   31 March (includes t_mean,  t_min*t_max, precipitation, . . .

SARS-CoV-2 and climate

As new cases of SARS CoV-2 (aka 2019-nCoV) Coronavirus are confirmed throughout the world and millions of people are being put into quarantine,  it is important to investigate the mix of factors affecting the spread of the epidemics. It is still early days, but, using existing data on positive cases of SARD-CoV-2 Coronavirus, Babak Naimi and I developed a large ensemble of 10 machine . . . [ Read More ]

Species on the move will change everything

Climate change is causing geographical redistribution of plant and animal species globally. These distributional shifts are leading to new ecosystems and ecological communities, changes that will affect human society. In a recent article published in Science, we review current and future impacts and assess their implications for sustainable development goals. Access to the original article . . . [ Read More ]
