Extreme heat and runoff extremes in the Swiss Alps [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2007 Abstract. The hydrological response of Swiss river basins to the 2003 European summer heatwave was evaluated by a combined analysis of historical discharge records and specific applications of distributed hydrological modeling. In the summer of 2003, the discharge from headwater streams of the Swiss Central Plateau was only 40%–60% of the long-term ...

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

Extreme-temperature single-particle heat engine [PDF]
There are many exotic thermodynamic processes that are hard to study in nature. Here, we synthesize a structured environment to explore the extremes of thermodynamics. We present an engine running at extreme temperatures of tens of Mega-Kelvin.
