Extreme heat events heighten soil respiration [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractIn the wake of climate change, extreme events such as heatwaves are considered to be key players in the terrestrial biosphere. In the past decades, the frequency and severity of heatwaves have risen substantially, and they are projected to continue to intensify in the future.

Extreme heat and stock market activity [PDF]
Ecological Economics, 2021 We aim to advance our understanding of the adverse effects of extreme temperatures by examining the extent to which high temperatures affect stock market activity. We address this question by analyzing the trading volumes on the French stock market on days when the weather in Paris is excessively hot over the period 1995-2019.

Protecting rural Canadians from extreme heat [PDF]
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2020 KEY POINTS The frequency, intensity and duration of extreme heat events are increasing across Canada.[1][1] However, as reflected in recent reports by Environment and Climate Change Canada[1][1] and the Council of Canadian Academies,[2][2] extreme heat events are regarded as primarily an urban ...

Present‐day irrigation mitigates heat extremes [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2017 AbstractIrrigation is an essential practice for sustaining global food production and many regional economies. Emerging scientific evidence indicates that irrigation substantially affects mean climate conditions in different regions of the world. Yet how this practice influences climate extremes is currently unknown.

Contrasting impacts of dry versus humid heat on US corn and soybean yields
Scientific Reports, 2023 The impact of extreme heat on crop yields is an increasingly pressing issue given anthropogenic climate warming. However, some of the physical mechanisms involved in these impacts remain unclear, impeding adaptation-relevant insight and reliable ...

, 2022 Extreme heat is the deadliest climate hazard in the United States. Climate change and the urban heat island effect are increasing the number of dangerously hot days in cities worldwide and the need for communities to plan for extreme heat. Existing literature on heat planning focuses on heat island mapping and modeling, whereas few studies delve into ...

Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov Calculation of Specific Heat of the Inner Crust of Neutron Stars [PDF]
, 2001 We calculate the specific heat of the inner crust of neutron stars within a local-density approximation to an improved relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory. Non-uniformness of the system enhances the specific heat in particular at low temperatures. The

Socioeconomic indicators of heat-related health risk supplemented with remotely sensed data
International Journal of Health Geographics, 2009 Background Extreme heat events are the number one cause of weather-related fatalities in the United States. The current system of alert for extreme heat events does not take into account intra-urban spatial variation in risk. The purpose of this study is
