Heat waves, the new normal: summertime temperature extremes will impact animals, ecosystems, and human communities
JH Stillman - Physiology, 2019 - journals.physiology.org
A consequence of climate change is the increased frequency and severity of extreme heat
waves. This is occurring now as most of the warmest summers and most intense heat waves …

Agricultural expansion raises groundwater and increases flooding in the South American plains
J Houspanossian, R Giménez, JI Whitworth-Hulse… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Regional effects of farming on hydrology are associated mostly with irrigation. In this work,
we show how rainfed agriculture can also leave large-scale imprints. The extent and speed …

South America climate change revealed through climate indices projected by GCMs and Eta-RCM ensembles
Studies that evaluate climate change projections over the whole of South America (SA) and
including different seasons and models are scarce. In this context, the objective of this work …

The role of climate change and urban development on compound dry-hot extremes across US cities
Compound dry-hot extreme (CDHE) events pose greater risks to the environment, society,
and human health than their univariate counterparts. Here, we project decadal-length …
