Evapotranspiration (ET)—the distribution and partitioning of which is strongly mediated by
vegetation—is central to the water, energy and carbon cycles. In this Review, we examine …

Droughts and heatwaves cause agricultural loss, forest mortality, and drinking water scarcity,
especially when they occur simultaneously as combined events. Their predicted increase in …

Satellite based remote sensing offers one of the few approaches able to monitor the spatial
and temporal development of regional to continental scale droughts. A unique element of …

Although a key driver of Earth's climate system, global land-atmosphere energy fluxes are
poorly constrained. Here we use machine learning to merge energy flux measurements from …

The Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) is a set of algorithms dedicated to
the estimation of terrestrial evaporation and root-zone soil moisture from satellite data. Ever …

The fate of the terrestrial biosphere is highly uncertain given recent and projected changes
in climate. This is especially acute for impacts associated with changes in drought frequency …

Water resources management (WRM) for sustainable development presents many
challenges in areas with sparse in situ monitoring networks. The exponential growth of …

Abstract Climate Data Records of soil moisture are fundamental for improving our
understanding of long-term dynamics in the coupled water, energy, and carbon cycles over …

While large‐scale terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) information is essential for our
understanding of the Earth's water and energy cycles, substantial differences exist in current …

Challenges exist for assessing the impacts of climate and climate change on the
hydrological cycle on local and regional scales, and in turn on water resources, food …
