High impact compound events in Australia
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022 Many natural disasters in Australia occur as a result of meteorological drivers occurring in combination. These Compound Events (CEs) amplify risk to socio-economic and ecological systems relative to single meteorological events. We undertake a bivariate

The responses of ecological indicators to compound extreme climate indices in Southwestern China
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Global warming has been leading to frequent climate extremes, and a single variable of climate extremes is no longer sufficient to fully assess the impact of climate extremes on ecosystems, requiring a synergistic multivariate inquiry.

Growing Threats From Swings Between Hot and Wet Extremes in a Warmer World
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The abrupt alternation between hot and wet extremes can lead to more severe societal impacts than isolated extremes. However, despite an understanding of hot and wet extremes separately, their temporally compounding characteristics are not well examined ...

Compound Dry and Wet Extremes Lead to an Increased Risk of Rice Yield Loss
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Extreme dry and wet events can result in significant crop yield losses. However, the impact of consecutive occurrence of dry and wet extremes on crop yield remains unclear.

Midwinter Dry Spells Amplify Post‐Fire Snowpack Decline
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Increasing wildfire and declining snowpacks in mountain regions threaten water availability. We combine satellite‐based fire detections with snow seasonality classifications to examine fire activity in California's seasonal and ephemeral snow zones.

Increasing Compound Heat and Precipitation Extremes Elevated by Urbanization in South China
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Compared with individual events, compound weather and climate extremes may impose more serious influences on natural systems and human society, especially in populated areas. In this study, we examine the changes in the compound precipitation events that

A climate database with varying drought‐heat signatures for climate impact modelling
Geoscience Data Journal, 2022 Extreme climate events, such as droughts and heatwaves, can have large impacts on the environment. Disentangling their individual and combined effects is a difficult task, due to the challenges associated with generating controlled environments to study ...
