Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

On the mean precipitation characteristics of North American heatwaves

Environmental Research: Water
Precipitation—or a lack thereof—can be both cause and consequence of heatwaves. Whereas most heatwave-precipitation research has emphasized summer heatwaves and extreme precipitation, heatwaves outside of summer are relatively more important for driving ...

A century of variability of heatwave-driven streamflow in melt-driven basins and implications under climate change

Environmental Research Letters
Meltwater runoff from snow and glaciers in high mountain regions supports the water needs of hundreds of millions of people, but extreme events such as heatwaves modify the timing and magnitude of water available for downstream communities and ecosystems.
