Flash droughts are abrupt and rapid intensification of droughts that affect agriculture, water,
and ecosystems and are commonplace in South Asia. Despite their potential impact, flash …

Climate change amplifies dry and hot extremes, yet the mechanism, extent, scope, and
temporal scale of causal linkages between dry and hot extremes remain underexplored …

Adaptation is key to minimizing heatwaves' societal burden; however, our understanding of
adaptation capacity across the socioeconomic spectrum is incomplete. We demonstrate that …

Climate change and global urbanization have often been anticipated to increase future
population exposure (frequency and intensity) to extreme weather over the coming decades …

It is now certain that human-induced climate change is increasing the incidence of extreme
temperature, precipitation and drought events globally. A critical aspect of these extremes is …

Drought events can significantly impact water resources, agriculture, and socioeconomic
sectors. Droughts are often quantified using numerous indices, which are widely used for …

The significant impact of flash droughts (FDs) on society can vary based on a combination of
FD characteristics (event counts, mean severity, and rate of intensification), which is largely …

We demonstrate an indirect, rather than direct, role of quasi-resonant amplification of
planetary waves in a summer weather extreme. We find that there was an interplay between …

Increasing heat stress with climate change will threaten human health and cause broad
social and economic impacts. The evaluation of such impacts depends on a reliable dataset …

CONTEXT Process-based models are increasingly used to explain and predict crop yields
and long-term changes in soil organic matter (SOM) and hence should be regularly …
