Seit Langem wird über mögliche Verbindungen zwischen Klima und gewalttätigen Konflikten gestritten. Untersuchungen nähern sich zunehmend einander an, was die Identifizierung von Temperaturschocks als einen entscheidenden, die Gewalt befördernden Faktor betrifft, jedoch ist es weiterhin eine...

A possible link between climate and conflict has long been disputed. Studies are increasingly converging in terms of identifying temperature shocks as a crucial cause of violence. However, the challenge remains to quantify the climatic effect and its underlying mechanisms. Using highly...

Waterborne diseases lead to over 6 billion diarrheal episodes per year, with most of the burden on children in low-income countries. We employ hydrological engineering principles to construct a novel measure of stagnant water, crucial to the spread of these diseases. Using a...

We study the effects of in utero exposure to climate change induced high ocean salinity levels on children's anthropometric outcomes. Leveraging six geo-referenced waves of the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys merged with gridded data on ocean salinity, ocean chemistry and weather...

This paper addresses the trade-off between unfavourable air pollution levels and favourable weather conditions for selecting a date for the staging of an outdoor event. For an event date that has been fixed, it presents a personal preference-based data-driven decision framework for individual...

We estimate how random weather fluctuations affected infant mortality across 28 African countries in the past, combining high-resolution data from retrospective fertility surveys (DHS) and climate-model reanalysis (ERA-40). We find that infants were much more likely to die when exposed in utero...
