The Scanlon extrapolation

The headline figure, 250 years of viable extraction remaining, is an original calculation built on depletion rate projections from Scanlon et al. (2012) and CVHM2 hydrological basin modeling. Satellite GRACE data provides the empirical depletion curve.

Sea Level Rise 2100

Modelled six major coastal cities, Ho Chi Minh City, Miami, Vancouver, Brazil, Kuwait City, Persian Gulf, under projected 2100 sea level rise scenarios. Built from IPCC projections and city-level elevation data. Cited in US law reviews and university research on climate adaptation.

Too Hot To Live

Long-form series examining wet-bulb temperature thresholds and the physical limits of human habitability. Covered Mexico, Colombia, and broader Latin American and Middle Eastern regions, combining climate modelling with on-the-ground reporting context.

Hotspots: US Dams Under Pressure

The US has around 91,000 dams with an average age of 57 years, 15,500 of which were classed as extremely hazardous in 2018. Using MPI-GE climate simulations, this piece maps Texan dams by age and projected peak temperature exposure under 2°C and 4°C global warming scenarios — visualising a largely invisible infrastructure risk.

Shifting Baselines and the Elusiveness of Climate Change

Each generation accepts the climate they are born into as normal, which is why the gradual heating of the planet goes largely unfelt. This piece charts yearly hot days in Germany across four generations — Baby Boomers through Gen Z — using German weather service data to make the shifting baseline visible.

Extreme Temperatures – Part II: France

Part of a series modelling the most extreme temperatures possible under 2–4°C warming using MPI-GE climate simulations. This piece focuses on France — mapping heat stress thresholds against dairy cattle tolerance and overlaying wine regions to show which appellations face existential risk.

Extreme Temperatures – Part III: Canada

Global peak summer temperature mapping under 4°C warming, with focus on Canada's canola crop — the world's second most produced vegetable oil and a crop whose yields collapse above specific heat thresholds. Part of the MPI-GE-based series on agriculture under extreme temperatures.

Air Pollution in London

London's air pollution expressed as cigarette equivalents per week — mapping PM2.5 exposure across boroughs with population density overlaid. The visualisation makes invisible harm legible: at its worst, breathing London's air is equivalent to smoking over five cigarettes a week.
