Monitoring the daily evolution and extent of snow drought [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Snow droughts are commonly defined as below-average snowpack at a point in time, typically 1 April in the western United States (wUS). This definition is valuable for interpreting the state of the snowpack but obscures the temporal evolution of snow ...

Desert Amplification in a Warming Climate [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractHere I analyze the observed and projected surface temperature anomalies over land between 50°S-50°N for the period 1950–2099 by large-scale ecoregion and find strongest warming consistently and persistently seen over driest ecoregions such as the Sahara desert and the Arabian Peninsula during various 30-year periods, pointing to desert ...
