Geomorphic and sedimentary effects of modern climate change: current and anticipated future conditions in the western United States
Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

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 …

Constraining the increased frequency of global precipitation extremes under warming
A key indicator of climate change is the greater frequency and intensity of precipitation
extremes across much of the globe. In fact, several studies have already documented …

Increased flood exposure due to climate change and population growth in the United States
Precipitation extremes are increasing globally due to anthropogenic climate change.
However, there remains uncertainty regarding impacts upon flood occurrence and …

Precipitation regime change in Western North America: the role of atmospheric rivers
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 …

The response of precipitation characteristics to global warming from climate projections
We revisit the issue of the response of precipitation characteristics to global warming based
on analyses of global and regional climate model projections for the 21st century. The …

The global water cycle budget: A chronological review
Like civilization and technology, our understanding of the global water cycle has been
continuously evolving, and we have adapted our quantification methods to better exploit …

Future precipitation increase from very high resolution ensemble downscaling of extreme atmospheric river storms in California
Precipitation extremes will likely intensify under climate change. However, much uncertainty
surrounds intensification of high-magnitude events that are often inadequately resolved by …
