The last few years have seen an explosion of interest in extreme event attribution, the
science of estimating the influence of human activities or other factors on the probability and …

Flash drought is a term that was popularized during rapidly evolving droughts in the Central
US in 2012 that were associated with heat waves. We posit that there are two kinds of flash …

Ongoing shifts in the species composition of Eastern US forests necessitate the
development of frameworks to explore how species-specific water-use strategies influence …

Flash droughts pose large threats to crop yields and ecosystem services due to their sudden
onset and rapid intensification, arousing wide public concern in a warming climate. Their …

Throughout the past decade, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has
given an unprecedented view on global variations in terrestrial water storage. While an …

In the two decades, since the advent of the term “flash drought,” considerable research has
been directed toward the topic. Within the scientific community, we have actively forged a …

Heat waves lead to major impacts on human health, food production, and ecosystems. To
assess their predictability and how they are projected to change under global warming, it is …

Evidence for global insect declines mounts, increasing our need to understand underlying
mechanisms. We test the nutrient dilution (ND) hypothesis—the decreasing concentration of …

The term “flash drought” is frequently invoked to describe droughts that develop rapidly over
a relatively short timescale. Despite extensive and growing research on flash drought …
