Dryland climate change: Recent progress and challenges
Drylands are home to more than 38% of the world's population and are one of the most
sensitive areas to climate change and human activities. This review describes recent …

Response of the intertropical convergence zone to climate change: Location, width, and strength
Abstract Purpose of Review The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a planetary-scale
band of heavy precipitation close to the equator. Here, we consider the response of the ITCZ …

Six hundred years of South American tree rings reveal an increase in severe hydroclimatic events since mid-20th century
South American (SA) societies are highly vulnerable to droughts and pluvials, but lack of
long-term climate observations severely limits our understanding of the global processes …

Increased dry-season length over southern Amazonia in recent decades and its implication for future climate projection
We have observed that the dry-season length (DSL) has increased over southern Amazonia
since 1979, primarily owing to a delay of its ending dates (dry-season end, DSE), and is …

Re-examining tropical expansion
Observations reveal a poleward expansion of the tropics in recent decades, implying a
potential role of human activity. However, although theory and modelling suggest increasing …

Expansion of global drylands under a warming climate
Global drylands encompassing hyper-arid, arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid areas cover
about 41 percent of the earth's terrestrial surface and are home to more than a third of the …

Recent poleward shift of tropical cyclone formation linked to Hadley cell expansion
Recent research indicates that the annual-mean locations of tropical cyclones have
migrated toward higher latitudes. Concurrently, an anthropogenically forced tropical …
