Drought is one of the most difficult natural hazards to quantify and is divided into categories
(meteorological, agricultural, ecological and hydrological), which makes assessing recent …

Exceptional drought events, known as megadroughts, have occurred on every continent
outside Antarctica over the past~ 2,000 years, causing major ecological and societal …

Predictions of floods, droughts, and fast drought‐flood transitions are required at different
time scales to develop management strategies targeted at minimizing negative societal and …

Compound droughts and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) may lead to larger repercussions
than do individual extremes. Due to the disastrous impacts and increased risk of these …

The sensitivity of river discharge to climate-system warming is highly uncertain, and the
processes that govern river discharge are poorly understood, which impedes climate …

Drought is a complex and multivariate phenomenon influenced by diverse physical and
biological processes. Such complexity precludes simplistic explanations of cause and effect …

Abstract Between 2000 and 2014, annual Colorado River flows averaged 19% below the
1906–1999 average, the worst 15‐year drought on record. At least one‐sixth to one‐half …

Discussions of droughts and their impacts often center on the lack of precipitation, just as
assessments of hydrologic impacts under a changing climate most often focus on how …

Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

Abstract The Colorado River is the primary surface water resource in the rapidly growing US
Southwest. Over the period 1916–2014, the Upper Colorado River Basin naturalized …
