Drought propagation under global warming: Characteristics, approaches, processes, and controlling factors
Drought is a costly natural hazard with far-reaching impacts on agriculture, ecosystem, water
supply, and socio-economy. While propagating through the water cycle, drought evolves into …

Remote sensing for drought monitoring & impact assessment: Progress, past challenges and future opportunities
Drought is a common hydrometeorological phenomenon and a pervasive global hazard. As
our climate changes, it is likely that drought events will become more intense and frequent …

Evapotranspiration frequently increases during droughts
Abstract Changes in evapotranspiration (ET) affect water availability and ecosystem health.
Higher evaporative demand during drought acts to increase ET, but droughts also reduce …

Exacerbated drought impacts on global ecosystems due to structural overshoot
Vegetation dynamics are affected not only by the concurrent climate but also by memory-
induced lagged responses. For example, favourable climate in the past could stimulate …

More green and less blue water in the Alps during warmer summers
Climate change can reduce surface-water supply by enhancing evapotranspiration in
forested mountains, especially during heatwaves. We investigate this 'drought paradox'for …

Climatic or regionally induced by humans? Tracing hydro-climatic and land-use changes to better understand the Lake Urmia tragedy
Lake Urmia—a shallow endemic hypersaline lake in northwest Iran—has undergone a
dramatic decline in its water level (WL), by about 8 m, since 1995. The primary cause of the …
