Reproductive Costs Increase With Longer Extreme Heat Events in Collembola [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTemperature regimes are changing at an unprecedented rate, leading to more intense, frequent, and prolonged extreme heat events. These conditions can undermine the performance of organisms during and after extreme events.

Rethinking extreme heat in a cool climate: a New Zealand case study
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 New Zealand is one of many higher latitude countries where extreme heat is perceived to be a less consequential impact of climate change, by virtue of its relatively cool climate.

Extreme heat episodes and risk of preterm birth in California, 2005–2013
Environment International, 2020 Background: Preterm birth is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Identifying potentially modifiable triggers toward the end of gestation, such as extreme heat, can improve understanding of the role of acute stress on early deliveries and ...

Global crop yield response to extreme heat stress under multiple climate change futures [PDF]
, 2014 Extreme heat stress during the crop reproductive period can be critical for crop productivity. Projected changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events are expected to negatively impact crop yields and global food production. This study

Lagrangian temperature, velocity and local heat flux measurement in Rayleigh-Benard convection [PDF]
, 2007 We have developed a small, neutrally buoyant, wireless temperature sensor. Using a camera for optical tracking, we obtain simultaneous measurements of position and temperature of the sensor as it is carried along by the flow in Rayleigh-B\'enard ...
