Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Evaluation of statistical downscaling techniques and projection of climate extremes in central Texas, USA

Weather and Climate Extremes
This study evaluates statistical downscaling techniques using different metrics and compares climate change signals and extreme precipitation and temperature changes under future climate change scenarios in the Bosque watershed, North-Central Texas.

Hybrid downscaling of wind climates over the eastern USA

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
Weibull distribution parameters (scale and shape) of wind speeds at 85 stations over the eastern USA are downscaled from distribution parameters of large-scale climate variables drawn from both global and regional models.

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

Examining the Robustness of Weakened Orographic Influence on Precipitation in Downscaled Climate Projections Over the Western US

Geophysical Research Letters
Assessing local climate change impacts often requires downscaling coarse global climate model (GCM) output to finer resolution. Two main approaches exist: dynamical downscaling using high‐resolution regional climate models, and statistical downscaling ...

Dynamical and statistical downscaling of a global seasonal hindcast in eastern Africa

Climate Services, 2018
Within the FP7 EUPORIAS project we have assessed the utility of dynamical and statistical downscaling to provide seasonal forecast for impact modelling in eastern Africa.

A translational multimodal machine‐learning prototype predicting valproate response in epilepsy treatment

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects ~1% of the global population and often requires lifelong antiseizure medication (ASM) therapy. Valproic acid (VPA) is a commonly prescribed first‐line ASM, yet only approximately half of patients achieve sustained seizure freedom. Treatment selection remains largely empirical.

Unveiling sleep disturbances in KCNB1‐related disorders: Insights from a cohort of 78 individuals

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Sleep disturbances are frequent comorbidities in epilepsies and developmental encephalopathies. This study aimed to characterize sleep abnormalities in individuals with KCNB1‐related disorders, focusing on their prevalence, clinical manifestations, and impact on daily functioning.

Surrogate‐Based Time‐Continuous Seismic Fragility Assessment of Corrosion‐Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Climate Change

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

MNE retrenchment and redeployment in the face of the US–China trade war: Real options and strategic flexibility

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Trade wars increasingly manifest in the contemporary environment for global business; thereby, calling for examination of MNE strategic responses. MNEs can respond to such shocks by leveraging their strategic flexibility and engaging in retrenchment and redeployment; that is, the respective scaling down (up) of subsidiary ...
