Our News in Brief series is designed to offer different views revolving around the earth sciences, as various experts will be invited to provide a brief look around the recent research conducted in their area. The selection of research papers is left up to each expert and due to the broadness of each field is not intended to be a comprehensive overview. Links to the published work are provided in each section. In this issue we have invited Stephanie Hänsel, a postdoctoral senior researcher at the Interdisciplinary Environmental Research Center in Freiberg Germany, to select and summarize some of the latest findings in climate science. In this second article of our series, Hänsel gives a brief rundown on five research papers of global relevance.
