Atmosphere, 2023 Compound extreme events can potentially cause deadlier socio-economic consequences. Although several studies focused on individual extreme climate events, the occurrence of compound extreme events is still not well studied in the upper Midwestern United ...

Extreme heat changes post‐heat wave community reassembly
Ecology and Evolution, 2015 AbstractClimate forecasts project further increases in extremely high‐temperature events. These present threats to biodiversity, as they promote population declines and local species extinctions. This implies that ecological communities will need to rely more strongly on recovery processes, such as recolonization from a meta‐community context.

Ambient temperature and preterm birth: A retrospective study of 32 million US singleton births
Environment International, 2019 Background: Days of extreme temperature may be associated with transiently higher risk of preterm birth, but prior studies have been limited and results have been heterogeneous.

Soil heat extremes can outpace air temperature extremes
Nature Climate Change, 2023 Abstract Quantifying changes in hot temperature extremes is key for developing adaptation strategies. Changes in hot extremes are often determined on the basis of air temperatures; however, hydrology and many biogeochemical processes are more sensitive to soil temperature. Here we show that soil hot extremes are increasing faster than

Extreme Heat, Birth Outcomes, and Socioeconomic Heterogeneity
Demography, 2022 Abstract We investigate the effect of extreme heat on birth outcomes and how this effect may vary by family socioeconomic status (SES). We create a detailed data set by linking individual-level data on approximately 4 million newborns in Spanish provincial capitals between 1990 and 2016 with precise meteorological data on the ...

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-InformationIn this article we present three instruments: (1) a social vulnerability to extreme heat index to identify the areas of a city (and populations thereof) more vulnerable to extreme heat due to climate change (heat islands); (2) a new overall fragility ...

A Markov-switching model for heat waves
, 2016 Heat waves merit careful study because they inflict severe economic and societal damage. We use an intuitive, informal working definition of a heat wave-a persistent event in the tail of the temperature distribution-to motivate an interpretable latent ...

The Use of a Quasi-Experimental Study on the Mortality Effect of a Heat Wave Warning System in Korea. [PDF]
, 2019 Many cities and countries have implemented heat wave warning systems to combat the health effects of extreme heat. Little is known about whether these systems actually reduce heat-related morbidity and mortality.
