Divergent forest sensitivity to repeated extreme droughts
Nature Climate Change, 2020Climate change-driven increases in drought frequency and severity could compromise forest ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon sink1–3. While the impacts of single droughts on forests have been widely studied4–6, understanding whether forests acclimate to or become more vulnerable to sequential droughts remains largely unknown and is crucial for ...

A stochastic analysis of extreme droughts
Water Resources Research, 1975A stochastic analysis is performed on the extreme drought duration defined to be the maximum dry interval for a point rainfall process. The assumptions underlying previous analyses are generalized to those of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. Analytical results, which seem intractable in general, are derived for two particular forms of the intensity ...

On the Extreme Streamflow Drought Analysis
Water Resources Management, 2002A procedure, based on the distribution of the largest streamflowdrought deficit and on the composite hydrograph recession curve, is proposed for the derivation of the n-year streamflow drought,for the cases for which the assumption of identical deficit and duration frequencies is not valid, for a given river at a given location.The present article is a

Groundwater Resilience under Extreme Drought 
Abstract:Government guidance suggests that, by 2050, water companies should be resilient to a 1-in-500-year drought, allowing them to maintain supply in all except the most extreme droughts. However, drought is poorly defined with no universally accepted definition.Eleyna McGrady +3 more

Application of Extreme Value Analysis to Extreme Drought Disaster Area in China
2011Recently, the natural balance and harmony of human society has been broken by the frequent occurrence of extreme drought. Extreme value theory is a statistical analysis tool of extreme events on the risk management which provides a good support of theoretical and methodological application.

Characterization of droughts and extreme low flows
2017Les sécheresses récurrentes que connaît la France depuis l'été 2003 et notamment celle du printemps 2011, de l'été 2015 ou encore de ce printemps, ont rappelé la sensibilité de nos systèmes aux extrêmes hydrologiques et à la disponibilité de la ressource en eau, et des enjeux de l'adaptation dans la perspective du changement climatique. Les sècheresses,
