Compound events and associated impacts in China. [PDF]
iScience, 2022 Owing to amplified impacts on human society and ecosystems, compound events (or extremes) have attracted ample attention in recent decades. China is particularly vulnerable to compound events due to the fast warming rate, dense populations, and fragile ecological environment.

Global hotspots for the occurrence of compound events. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 AbstractCompound events (CEs) are weather and climate events that result from multiple hazards or drivers with the potential to cause severe socio-economic impacts. Compared with isolated hazards, the multiple hazards/drivers associated with CEs can lead to higher economic losses and death tolls.

Hotspot movement of compound events on the Europe continent. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 AbstractClimate indices are often used as a climate monitoring tool, allowing us to understand how the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather events are changing over time. Here, based on complex statistical analysis we identify highly correlated significant pairs of compound events at the highest spatial resolution, on a monthly ...

Extreme compound events in the equatorial and South Atlantic. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe impacts of marine heatwaves (MHWs) on marine ecosystems can be amplified when combined with other extreme events. Here, we investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of compound events of MHW, high acidity and low chlorophyll in the equatorial and South Atlantic, using observation-based datasets and reanalysis products. We show that the frequency and

Compound events in Germany in 2018: drivers and case studies
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Abstract. Europe frequently experiences a wide range of extreme events and natural hazards, including heatwaves, extreme precipitation, droughts, cold spells, windstorms, and storm surges. Many of these events do not occur as single extreme events but rather show a multivariate character, known as compound events.

Attributing Compound Events to Anthropogenic Climate Change [PDF]
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2022 Abstract Extreme event attribution answers the question of whether and by how much anthropogenic climate change has contributed to the occurrence or magnitude of an extreme weather event. It is also used to link extreme event impacts to climate change. Impacts, however, are often related to multiple compounding climate drivers.

Environmental Research Letters, 2022 The year 2020 had the most catastrophic fire season over the last two decades in the Pantanal, which led to outstanding environmental impacts. Indeed, much of the Pantanal has been affected by severe dry conditions since 2019, with evidence of the 2020’s

A compound event-oriented framework to tropical fire risk assessment in a changing climate
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Tropical fire activity closely follows the co-occurrence of multiple climate stressors. Yet, it remains challenging to quantify how changes in climate alter the likelihood of fire risks associated with compound events.

Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Tropical cyclones (TCs) and heatwaves are amongst the most deadly and costly natural hazards. Despite considerable advances in understanding each of them, their occurrences in rapid sequence (e.g.
