Drought has a substantial socioeconomic impact under the changing climate. The estimation
of population exposure to drought could be the pivotal signal to predict future water scarcity …

Multi-hazard events can be associated with larger socio-economic impacts than single-
hazard events. Understanding the spatio-temporal interactions that characterize the former …

Climate extremes, in particular droughts, are significant driving forces towards riverine
ecosystem disturbance. Drought impacts on stream ecosystems include losses that can be …

Ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE) is defined as the ratio of carbon gain (ie, gross
primary productivity; GPP) to water consumption (ie, evapotranspiration; ET). WUE is …

Groundwater in shallow aquifers is commonly used for community water supply in cold
climates. Shallow groundwaters are inherently susceptible to contamination from land‐use …

Hydrological droughts have considerable negative impacts on water quantity and quality,
and understanding their regional characteristics is of crucial importance. This study presents …

Yunnan Province is a region with frequent droughts; thus, drought monitoring research is
important for implementing active and effective measures to mitigate drought and …

Flash droughts, defined as events with unusually rapid onset and intensification, are
emerging into the spotlight as dangerous subseasonal climatic phenomena capable of …

Forecasting water deficit is challenging because it is modulated by uncertain climate,
different environmental and anthropic factors, especially in arid and semi-arid northwestern …

Snow cover days (SCDs), the number of days with snow water equivalent (SWE) greater
than a given threshold, play a vital role in the climate system, hydrological cycle, and …
