Heatwave and infants' hospital admissions under different heatwave definitions [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2017 Data on the health impacts of heatwaves in infants are limited, and this study aimed to examine how heatwaves affect hospital admissions in infants.A quasi-Poisson generalized additive model was used to assess the effects of heatwaves on hospital admissions in infants from 1st January 2005 to 31st December 2015 in Brisbane, Australia, using a series of

Increasing heatwave frequency in streams and rivers of the United States
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023 Heatwaves are increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity in ocean, coastal, and lake ecosystems. While positive water temperature trends have been documented in many rivers, heatwaves have not been analyzed.

Social Sensing of Heatwaves [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Heatwaves cause thousands of deaths every year, yet the social impacts of heat are poorly measured. Temperature alone is not sufficient to measure impacts and “heatwaves” are defined differently in different cities/countries. This study used data from the microblogging platform Twitter to detect different scales of response and varying attitudes to ...

Heatwave effects on gross primary production of northern mid-latitude ecosystems
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Heatwave events are expected to become more frequent and intense in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere in the future. However, our knowledge of the impacts of these extreme temperature events on ecosystem functions is still limited.

Anatomy of Indian heatwaves [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractIndia suffers from major heatwaves during March-June. The rising trend of number of intense heatwaves in recent decades has been vaguely attributed to global warming. Since the heat waves have a serious effect on human mortality, root causes of these heatwaves need to be clarified.

Extreme heat events heighten soil respiration
Scientific Reports, 2021 In the wake of climate change, extreme events such as heatwaves are considered to be key players in the terrestrial biosphere. In the past decades, the frequency and severity of heatwaves have risen substantially, and they are projected to continue to ...
