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 …

The topic of “Flash Drought” is rapidly gaining attention within both the research and drought
management communities. This literature review aims to synthesize the research to-date …

Agricultural drought is generally defined as a deficit in soil moisture, and can affect plant
growth and crop yields. Accurate prediction of agricultural drought with sufficient lead time …

Compound dry and hot conditions frequently cause large impacts on ecosystems and
societies worldwide. A suite of indices is available for the assessment of droughts and …

While reliable drought prediction is fundamental for drought mitigation and water resources
management, it is still a challenge to develop robust drought prediction models due to …

This paper reviews the Flash Drought concept, the uncertainties associated with FD
prediction, and the potential of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep learning (DL) for future …

Of particular importance in a world of increasing water scarcity is the temporal and spatial
relationship between a shortage in rainfall—meteorological drought—and a shortage in …

With global climate warming, the variability of climate and weather tends to increase driving
the water resources available for vegetation become more uncertain. Therefore, there is still …

Droughts are one of the most devastating natural disasters. Droughts can co-exist in different
forms (eg meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural) as concurrent droughts. Such …

Typified by rapid intensification in a short time, flash droughts (FDs) have attracted
increasing attention because of their effects on water resources and ecosystems. Water use …
