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 …

Climate change has catalyzed the global expansion of cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic,
lakes and threatens water security. In most studies, the cyanobacterial bloom risk levels in …

Urbanization has become a prominent anthropogenic activity globally, resulting in the
substantial modification of temperature and rainfall in and around urban areas. Studies also …

Understanding the time required for meteorological drought to propagate to hydrological
drought is crucial for producing early warnings of future hydrological droughts. However …

The 21st century witnessed unprecedented development in Chinese cities and rapid
urbanization has exerted substantial effects on regional environmental and climate change …

Hydrological droughts have caused greater damage due to climate change and rapid socio-
economic development. Exploring future hydrological drought variations is imperative for …

Current remote sensing techniques fail to observe and generate large scale multi-layer soil
moisture (SM) due to the inherent features of the satellite sensors. The lack of …

The propagation from meteorological to hydrological drought is critical for better
understanding hydrological drought. However, how climate change would affect the drought …

Abstract An accurate gridded Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) at high spatial
resolution is important for meteorological drought monitoring and assessment. However, the …

Challenges in drought monitoring hinder social development. In this study, a robust drought
monitoring framework composed of ten indicators was established based on the standard …
