Anthropogenic climate change is decreasing seasonal snowpacks globally, with potentially
catastrophic consequences on water resources, given the long-held reliance on snowpack …

Flash droughts are a recently recognized type of extreme event distinguished by sudden
onset and rapid intensification of drought conditions with severe impacts. They unfold on …

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

Growth in satellite observations and modelling capabilities has transformed drought
monitoring, offering near-real-time information. However, current monitoring efforts focus on …

Abstract In the western United States, the seasonal phase of snow storage bridges between
winter‐dominant precipitation and summer‐dominant water demand. The critical role of …

Daily precipitation in California has been projected to become less frequent even as
precipitation extremes intensify, leading to uncertainty in the overall response to climate …

Snow plays a fundamental role in global water resources, climate, and biogeochemical
processes; however, no global snow drought assessments currently exist. Changes in the …

As human-caused climate changes accelerate, California will experience hydrologic and
temperature conditions different than any encountered in recorded history. How will these …

To support implementation of the Paris Agreement, the new HAPPI ensemble of 20 bias-
corrected simulations of four climate models was used to drive two global hydrological …

Climate change is interacting with water resource pressures to alter the frequency, severity
and spatial extent of drought, which can thus no longer be considered a purely natural …
