Scientists Urge Enhanced Research Ahead of Projected 'Super' El Nino Event
Over 180 ecologists and scientists in India have issued an urgent appeal to enhance research and monitoring ahead of a projected 'super' El Nino event expected to peak in late 2026 and persist into early 2027. Sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific have risen significantly, with anomalies potentially exceeding 4°C, the highest in a millennium. The event may cause severe ecological impacts including coral bleaching, wildfires, drought, and disruptions to agriculture and wildlife. Researchers emphasize the need for coordinated long-term studies and data sharing to understand and mitigate these effects.
