Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural
and built environments (eg, 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm …

Hydroclimatic extremes such as intense rainfall, floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wind or
storms have devastating effects each year. One of the key challenges for society is …

Traditional, mainstream definitions of drought describe it as deficit in water‐related variables
or water‐dependent activities (eg, precipitation, soil moisture, surface and groundwater …

Global warming is expected to change the regime of extreme precipitation. Physical laws
translate increasing atmospheric heat into increasing atmospheric water content that drives …

The climate varies on multiple timescales, but now humans are the main agents of change
and are likely to remain so for the next few centuries. It is generally understood that human …

Background: Anthropogenic global warming, interacting with social and other environmental
determinants, constitutes a profound health risk. This paper reports a comprehensive …

Rising temperatures that occur in cities resulted in the urban heat island (UHI) which could
also amplify the thermal heat stress, leading to climate-related human mortality. Our study …

Climate change is drastically altering the frequency, duration, and severity of compound
drought‐heatwave (CDHW) episodes, which present a new challenge in environmental and …

Urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon is a severe issue faced by many cities and the
reduction of urban ventilation is one of the significant causes. Reasonable urban planning …

It is well known that urban areas are typically hotter than the surrounding (vegetated) rural
areas. However, the contribution of urbanization to the trends of extreme temperature events …
