Post-heatwave immune challenge reshapes selection on heatwave responsesPost-heatwave immune challenge reshapes selection on heatwave responses [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, yet predicting selection on heatwave-induced phenotypic responses is difficult because their fitness consequences may depend on subsequent environmental conditions.

The 2022 Summer record-breaking heatwave and health information-seeking behaviours: an infodemiology study in Mainland China

BMJ Global Health, 2023
Introduction Heatwave is a major global health concern. Many countries including China suffered a record-breaking heatwave during the summer of 2022, which may have a significant effect on population health or health information-seeking behaviours but is

Towards Improvement of Heatwave Warnings for Older Adults: The Case of Queensland Australia

Journal of Primary Care & Community Health
Background: Heatwave warnings provide crucial information about the nature of the event and the steps that can be taken to mitigate its impact. It is well known that heat events disproportionately impact the health of older adults.

Anthropogenic Contributions to the 2021 Pacific Northwest Heatwave [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Daily maximum temperatures during the 2021 heatwave in the Pacific Northwest United States and Canada shattered century old records. Multiple causal factors, including anthropogenic climate change, contributed to these high temperatures, challenging ...

Tropical western and central Pacific marine heatwave data calculated from gridded sea surface temperature observations and CMIP6

Data in Brief, 2022
Processed marine heatwave metrics are provided for the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean region (120°E-140°W, 40°S-15°N). The metrics are computed from daily sea surface temperature (SST) data, from both observations and models.
