The recent catastrophic wildfire in Hawaii is an example of climate change driving compound events. The past few weeks have brought light to the stark increase in the frequency and intensity of ...

a and b, spatial patterns of the difference in recovery time between hot-dry and dry events (ΔRT = RT hot-dry-RT dry) based on the NDVI and LAI, respectively. c and d, ΔRT under different aridity ...

As global warming intensifies and populations continue to grow, the likelihood of extreme high-temperature events is increasing. Hot–dry compound events, in particular, pose a direct threat to human ...

Sea snails – the picture shows a pteropod – play an important role in the marine food web. They are especially sensitive to ocean warming and acidification ...

How extreme will weather events become in the second half of the 21st century? This is what a recent study published in Earth’s Future hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

As the world warms, droughts and heat waves are going to become more common - but what happens when they happen at the same time? Researchers from the UFZ Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research ...

Fires which destroyed huge swaths of the Hawaiian island of Maui highlight the growing threat of compound climate risks, which happen when multiple extreme weather events converge. The deadly blazes ...

Compound events especially frequent in the subtropical oceans The main finding of the study, which is based on monthly observations from the surface open ocean from 1982 to 2019, is that marine ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Heat waves and coastal floods are intensifying around the world as global temperatures rise and sea levels swell. These disasters are dangerous when they occur on their own — and even ...
