Changepoint methods have multiple uses in climatology, including stationary checks and record homogenization. There are still many open problems in the area, especially in the multiple changepoint setting, and statisticians are needed to…
Single changepoint tests have become a staple check for homogeneity of a climate time series, suggesting how climate has changed should non-homogeneity be declared. This paper summarizes the most prominent single changepoint tests used in…

The climate system is a forced, dissipative, nonlinear, complex and heterogeneous system that is out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The system exhibits natural variability on many scales of motion, in time as well as space, and it is subject…
