The best way to get to know ENSO impacts and their complexities better is to look at well-studied examples. For this reason we have asked researchers from around the world to write for us short summaries about ENSO impacts they have studied. Here they are organized by sector.

Agriculture and Food Security

>	Seasonal climate forecasts and the agricultural sector of Uruguay Walter Baethgen and Agustín Giménez
>	Societal and environmental impact of ENSO in Papua New Guinea Mike Bourke
>	Some implications of uncertainty in seasonal climate forecasts: A cautionary note from Zimbabwe Jennifer Phillips
>	Brown locust outbreaks in southern Africa Martin Todd
>	El Niño Southern Oscillation influences on rice production in Sri Lanka Lareef Zubair

Ecosystems

>	High mortality of Western Australian rock lobster larvae during El Niño David Griffin
>	Ecosystem responses to ENSO in western South America Fabian Jaksic
>	ENSO impacts on fire regimes in northern Patagonia Thomas Kitzberger
>	Using the El Niño-Southern Oscillation to predict Indo-Pacific green turtle populations Neville Nicholls
>	Brown locust outbreaks in southern Africa Martin Todd

Energy

>	Relationship of ENSO to heating costs in the eastern United States David Changnon
>	ENSO-based, long-range streamflow forecasts and water resources applications for the Columbia River basin Alan Hamlet
>	Influence of ENSO on hydro-lake inflows in the South Island of New Zealand Alistair McKerchar

Fisheries

>	High mortality of Western Australian rock lobster larvae during El Niño David Griffin

Health

>	Dengue epidemics and the El Niño Southern Oscillation Simon Hales
>	ENSO and coastal water quality in southwest Florida Erin Lipp, Nancy Schmidt, and Joan Rose

Water Resources

>	The influence of El Niño on the discharges of the Paraná River of South America Guillermo Berri
>	El Niño/Southern Oscillation, streamflow and water resources management in Australia Francis Chiew
>	ENSO-based, long-range streamflow forecasts and water resources applications for the Columbia River basin Alan Hamlet
>	ENSO impacts in the Philippines Aida Jose
