Compound weather and climate events describe combinations of multiple climate drivers
and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk. Although many climate …

Multivariate or compound hydrological-extreme events such as successive floods, large-
scale droughts, or consecutive drought-to-flood events challenge water management and …

Precipitation extremes are increasing globally due to anthropogenic climate change.
However, there remains uncertainty regarding impacts upon flood occurrence and …

Floods often affect large regions and cause adverse societal impacts. Regional flood hazard
and risk assessments therefore require a realistic representation of spatial flood …

Although most landslides are precipitation‐triggered, a number of other complex conditions
simultaneously predispose any given slope to failure, with the impact of urbanization posing …

River flooding is a common hazard, causing billions of dollars in annual losses. Flood
impacts are shaped by the spatial scale over which different rivers flood simultaneously, but …

Heat waves have pronounced impacts on human health, ecosystems, and society. Heat
waves have become more frequent and intense globally and are likely to intensify further in …

The intensity and spatial extent of tropical cyclone precipitation (TCP) often shapes the risk
posed by landfalling storms. Here we provide a comprehensive climatology of landfalling …

Understanding the variability of spatial extents of precipitation extremes favors an accurate
assessment of the severity of disasters caused by extreme precipitation events. Using a …

The massive socioeconomic impacts engendered by extreme floods provides a clear
motivation for improved understanding of flood drivers. We use self-organizing maps, a type …
