Human activities have increasingly intensified the severity, frequency, and negative impacts
of droughts in several regions across the world. This trend has led to broader scientific …

While climate change will alter the distribution of water in time and space, quantifications of
drought risk under global warming remain uncertain. Here, we show that in Europe, drought …

This paper discusses how epistemic uncertainties are currently considered in the most
widely occurring natural hazard areas, including floods, landslides and debris flows, dam …

Droughts are natural hazards characterized by a prolonged period of below-average
precipitation. Water scarcity is defined as insufficient water resources to meet demands in a …

Droughts are a specific type of natural hazard. Economic assessments of drought impacts
require a framework capable of accounting for its unique and particular characteristics …

The study presents a methodology to characterise short-or long-term drought events,
designed to aid understanding of how climate change may affect future risk. An indicator of …

Drought is a natural hazard triggered by a lack of precipitation that can last for several
months or years. Droughts can affect a wide range of socio-economic sectors while the …

Tabriz city in NW Iran is a seismic-prone province with recurring devastating earthquakes
that have resulted in heavy casualties and damages. This research developed a new …

Drought and water scarcity pose a risk to the economy, particularly sectors where water is a
crucial input to the production process. This paper describes integrated simulations of water …

Droughts are major natural hazards and have wide-reaching economic, social, and
environmental impacts. Their complex, slow, and creeping nature; the difficulty of …
