a and b, spatial patterns of the difference in recovery time between hot-dry and dry events (ΔRT = RT hot-dry-RT dry) based on the NDVI and LAI, respectively. c and d, ΔRT under different aridity ...

A newly published review in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters reveals that climate extremes are increasingly striking in combination—and their compounding impact is posing a growing threat to ...

When marine heatwaves and ocean acidity extreme events co-occur, it can have severe impacts on marine ecosystems. Researchers have determined for the first time the frequency and drivers of these ...

As the world warms, droughts and heat waves are going to become more common - but what happens when they happen at the same time? Researchers from the UFZ Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research ...

Fires which destroyed huge swaths of the Hawaiian island of Maui highlight the growing threat of compound climate risks, which happen when multiple extreme weather events converge. The deadly blazes ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Heat waves and coastal floods are intensifying around the world as global temperatures rise and sea levels swell. These disasters are dangerous when they occur on their own — and even ...
