Responses and impacts of atmospheric rivers to climate change
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall,
produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and destructive. ARs in California, for …

Climate change is increasing the risk of a California megaflood
Despite the recent prevalence of severe drought, California faces a broadly
underappreciated risk of severe floods. Here, we investigate the physical characteristics of …

Landslides after wildfire: Initiation, magnitude, and mobility
In the semiarid Southwestern USA, wildfires are commonly followed by runoff-generated
debris flows because wildfires remove vegetation and ground cover, which reduces soil …

The shifting scales of western US landfalling atmospheric rivers under climate change
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) can be a boon and bane to water resource managers as they have
the ability to replenish water reserves, but they can also generate million‐to‐billion‐dollar …

Postfire hydrologic response along the Central California (USA) coast: insights for the emergency assessment of postfire debris-flow hazards
The steep, tectonically active terrain along the Central California (USA) coast is well known
to produce deadly and destructive debris flows. However, the extent to which fire affects …

Large-scale environments of successive atmospheric river events leading to compound precipitation extremes in California
Successive atmospheric river (AR) events—known as AR families—can result in prolonged
and elevated hydrological impacts relative to single ARs due to the lack of recovery time …
