Streamflow drought: implication of drought definitions and its application for drought forecasting [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Abstract. Streamflow drought forecasting is a key element of contemporary drought early warning systems (DEWS). The term streamflow drought forecasting (not streamflow forecasting), however, has created confusion within the scientific hydrometeorological community as well as in operational weather and water management services.

Drought in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2016 Drought management is inefficient because feedbacks between drought and people are not fully understood. In this human-influenced era, we need to rethink the concept of drought to include the human role in mitigating and enhancing drought.

Drought 2002 in Colorado: An Unprecedented Drought or a Routine Drought? [PDF]
pure and applied geophysics, 2005 The 2002 drought in Colorado was reported by the media and by public figures, and even by a national drought-monitoring agency, as an exceptionally severe drought. In this paper we examine evidence for this claim. Our study shows that, while the impacts of water shortages were exceptional everywhere, the observed precipitation deficit was less than ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 Poverty involves both low income levels and high income uncertainty. Do both these dimensions of being poor capture attention in ways that distort decision-making and trap people in poverty? We examine these issues using real-life shocks faced by farmers in Brazil: random payday variation affecting income levels, and rainfall shocks that affect income ...

Current Biology, 2008 SummaryAsexual taxa, such as the bdelloid rotifers, are anticipated to help answer the question of what makes sexual reproduction so prevalent and persistent. But perhaps the secret of some asexuals' success lies in their ecological oddity. Florian Maderspacher takes a look.

Drought legacies and ecosystem responses to subsequent drought
Global Change Biology, 2022 AbstractClimate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially long‐term impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning after the drought has subsided are often called ‘drought legacies’.
