Freie Universität Berlin-led study finds future heatwaves could far exceed recent extremes
A study in Nature Communications, led by a Freie Universität Berlin researcher, finds future heatwaves could last longer, cover larger areas and be more intense than those seen so far.
Why it matters: A Freie Universität Berlin researcher led the Nature Communications study, which finds future heatwaves could last longer, spread wider and be more intense.
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications was led by a researcher at Freie Universität Berlin.
According to the study, future heatwaves could last considerably longer, affect larger areas and be more intense than previous ones.
A release on the study, distributed via the idw science news service, said the heatwaves of recent years may offer only a foretaste of what climate change could bring.
