Modern Pyromes: Biogeographical Patterns of Fire Characteristics across the Contiguous United States
Fire, 2022 In recent decades, wildfires in many areas of the United States (U.S.) have become larger and more frequent with increasing anthropogenic pressure, including interactions between climate, land-use change, and human ignitions. We aimed to characterize the

Projected changes in regional climate extremes arising from Arctic sea ice loss
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 The decline in Arctic sea ice cover has been widely documented and it is clear that this change is having profound impacts locally. An emerging and highly uncertain area of scientific research, however, is whether such Arctic change has a tangible effect

Unraveling the pertinence of drought indices in the changing climate
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 The increasing divergence/disagreement between the meteorological drought indicators, majorly due to the changing climate conditions, has disputed their pertinency in the monitoring and modeling of drought events.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2004 In the sixties Mandelbrot already showed that extreme price swings are more likely than some of us think or incorporate in our models.A modern toolbox for analyzing such rare events can be found in the field of extreme value theory.At the core of extreme value theory lies the modelling of maxima over large blocks of observations and of excesses over ...
