Prediction and projection of heatwaves
Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

Land–atmospheric feedbacks during droughts and heatwaves: state of the science and current challenges
Droughts and heatwaves cause agricultural loss, forest mortality, and drinking water scarcity,
especially when they occur simultaneously as combined events. Their predicted increase in …

Summer soil drying exacerbated by earlier spring greening of northern vegetation
Earlier vegetation greening under climate change raises evapotranspiration and thus lowers
spring soil moisture, yet the extent and magnitude of this water deficit persistence into the …
