A deep learning-based hybrid model of global terrestrial evaporation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Global evaporation is a key climatic process that remains highly uncertain. Here, the authors shed light on this process with a novel hybrid model that integrates a deep learning representation of ecosystem stress within a physics-based framework.

A Computational Approach to Confidence Intervals and Testing for Generalized Pareto Index Using the Greenwood Statistic

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2023
The generalized Pareto distributions (GPDs) play an important role in the statistics of extremes. We point various problems with the likelihood-based inference for the index parameter α of the GPDs, and develop alternative testing strategies, which do ...

Land–atmosphere feedbacks contribute to crop failure in global rainfed breadbaskets

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
Global crop yields are highly dependent on climate variability, with the largest agricultural failures frequently occurring during extremely dry and hot years.

Seasonal variability of future extreme precipitation and associated trends across the Contiguous U.S.

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2022
Global climate models and long-term observational records point to the intensification of extreme precipitation due to global warming. Such intensification has direct implications for worsening floods and damage to life and property.

Species conflict at Earth’s edges – Contests, climate, and coveted resources

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Direct conflict between species is an infrequently witnessed biological phenomenon. Potential drivers of such contests can include climate change, especially at Earth’s high elevation and latitudinal extremes where temperatures warm 2–5 times faster than
