Observation‐based and modeling studies have identified the Eastern Mediterranean and
Middle East (EMME) region as a prominent climate change hotspot. While several initiatives …

Droughts in a warming climate have become more common and more extreme, making
understanding forest responses to water stress increasingly pressing. Analysis of water …

Most climate change detection and attribution studies have focused on mean or extreme
temperature or precipitation, neglecting to explore long-term changes in drought …

Droughts that exceed the magnitudes of historical variation ranges could occur increasingly
frequently under future climate conditions. However, the time of the emergence of …

Variability in hydroclimate impacts natural and human systems worldwide. In particular, both
decadal variability and extreme precipitation events have substantial effects and are …

Satellite based remote sensing offers one of the few approaches able to monitor the spatial
and temporal development of regional to continental scale droughts. A unique element of …

Two questions motivated this study: 1) Will meteorological droughts become more frequent
and severe during the twenty-first century? 2) Given the projected global temperature rise, to …

Higher evaporative demands and more frequent and persistent dry spells associated with
rising temperatures suggest that drought conditions could worsen in many regions of the …

Investigation of the pressing impacts of climate change on drought is vital for sustainable
societal and ecosystem functioning. The magnitude of how much the drought will change …

We project drought losses in China under global temperature increase of 1.5° C and 2.0° C,
based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and the Palmer …
