Scientists' warning on invasive alien species
Biological invasions are a global consequence of an increasingly connected world and the
rise in human population size. The numbers of invasive alien species–the subset of alien …

Future climate risk from compound events
Floods, wildfires, heatwaves and droughts often result from a combination of interacting
physical processes across multiple spatial and temporal scales. The combination of …

Sandy coastlines under threat of erosion
Sandy beaches occupy more than one-third of the global coastline and have high
socioeconomic value related to recreation, tourism and ecosystem services. Beaches are …

Tropical cyclone climatology change greatly exacerbates US extreme rainfall–surge hazard
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are drivers of extreme rainfall and surge, but the current and future
TC rainfall–surge joint hazard has not been well quantified. Using a physics-based …

Recent increases in tropical cyclone rapid intensification events in global offshore regions
Rapid intensification (RI) is an essential process in the development of strong tropical
cyclones and a major challenge in prediction. RI in offshore regions is more threatening to …

Global probabilistic projections of extreme sea levels show intensification of coastal flood hazard
Global warming is expected to drive increasing extreme sea levels (ESLs) and flood risk
along the world's coastlines. In this work we present probabilistic projections of ESLs for the …

Global increase in tropical cyclone ocean surface waves
The long-term changes of ocean surface waves associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) are
poorly observed and understood. Here, we present the global trend analysis of TC waves for …

The history, geography, and sociology of slums and the health problems of people who live in slums
Massive slums have become major features of cities in many low-income and middle-
income countries. Here, in the first in a Series of two papers, we discuss why slums are …
